For Thanksgiving we planned San Diego, CA. How did that happen?
Well the spouses job was supposed to be 'closed' for that week. They were supposed to conserve money by closing. This was planned early in the summer and they placed a bunch of silly rules just in case. One of them was basically your out of luck if they decide to open and you planned a trip and it was not your 'vacation' week. They also put a little saying - they can choose to be open for clean up or something like that.
When the spouse mentioned this to me I said lets to to visit my brother in San Diego! Honestly I am tired of having to trek to the families in laws during the holidays. Lets be honest - we are a family of 5 and have the youngest kids. My nephews in the area are both over 19 so they are not kids anymore. When I first got together with the in laws the holidays were celebrated at their home every year. It didnt bother me since the whole family was in the same area. Its been 10 years, both parents have passed away, the kids are older and no one 'has money' so no one gets gifts anymore except the kids. Who has the kids? Me! So every holiday we have to take the normally 1 hour ride that becomes 3 hours during the holiday to spend it with the family.
So we planned San Diego to get away and not have to deal with the family gatherings. We are flying out on Thanksgiving day! Call me crazy it was the best price for flights and flying into Las Angeles were my brother will pick us up and drive back to San Diego. We are staying a week with him and he is cooking for us! We are in trouble. lol.
We planned 2 days in Disneyland, and its our first time so it should be fun.
I cant wait to get outta here!
