Heart Really, anywhere but the PICU

But say it's a perfect world where babies weren't born with single ventricles, I too would say Disney World with my DH and my son. Probably at the Contemporary.

Oh man, me too! I haven't been there since November 1999 but it remains my all-time favorite place - warm sand, warm surf, cold beer!

In the Bahamas...

at this fabulous resort called Pink Sands where the actual sand on almost deserted beach is pink and there is a private path from your cottage to the beach ...

Or...

In ocean front room at the Breakers in Palm Beach, Florida (because of their great spa).

This little village on the side of a mountain in Switzerland called Gimmewald (?). There are no cars and only like 20 people and the only thing to do is relax.

Not a big fan of water myself ...so breaking the beach and water theme...

I want to be back in St Louis. We moved away from there last fall and haven't found a groove in our new city at all. I want to be home, going to the zoo in the beautiful spring air, eating outside at all our favorite restaurants, playing at our favorite parks with my friends and their kids, walking around our old neighborhood, going to our old church... I know it's not the usual idea of vacation, but it would be so restful and rejuvinating for us.

(And we are going next week, btw, so yay!!!)

Sign me up for Disney too! We went last year and John had a blast. And I would have to make a stop (or 2) at the Margarita stand in Epcot!

YES...Margarita please...I am not even in process anymore. But since coming home, as many of you know, we have had one issue after another with Mikayla's development and health (and mine actually).

Lucky for me we ARE going on vacation. NEXT WEEK TO ORLANDO FOR SIX DAYS. Doing Sea World and Disney. I need it...
