2012: Disneyland?
All my recent discussion about various vacations lead me to start thinking that 2012 could be the perfect year to take the family to Disneyland. Then I remembered a conversation Jon and I had around the time Julian was born about taking our sons to Disneyland when my son would be 5 years old.
That would be 2012.
I think its ideal for 5 reasons.
1. He’ll be old enough to appreciate it and form long-term memories of the experience.
2. It will be a nice treat before he starts school.
3. Shortly after he’ll start school which would mean a significant drop in daycare expense so rebuilding the savings should be easy.
4. It’s when my current set of pie-in-the-sky vacation dreams end.
5. It gives Mindi’s brother a bit more time to keep his promise of taking his sister to Disneyland before I sweep in and get the job done.
And the kid’s behaviour that trip will probably be a major factor in 2013 planning. Will it be Toronto, Orlando, Hawaii…?
