Welcome to this week’s edition of Aloha Friday.
"In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that we take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So I thought that on Fridays I would take it easy on posting, too. Therefore, I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Nothing that requires a lengthy response."
She then asks that you post a question on your blog for others to answer.
Go to An Island Life and answer her question and check out the other questions too! Answer mine, answer hers, answer all...your choice. Let me know if you post a question on your blog and I'll stop by and answer yours!
This weeks question is...
If you could spend a night away from your house, where would you go?
Lucky for us Richard's sister works for Disney so we get a discount to stay there. We are staying at Disney's Port Orleans Resort (French Quarter) tomorrow night. We aren't actually going to go to a park this time. We are going to hang out at Downtown Disney for a while and do lunch and dinner there. We are looking forward to a good night sleep and getting to sleep in... and for us that means sleeping to 7am or later. On the way home we are going to stop at one of the outlet malls so I can pick up some stuff for myself and the kids, and yes probably Richard too.
Yes, I will miss my little guys, but I always say that one of the best things that I mom can do for her kiddos is get out of the house without them and find yourself again. I also strongly believe that a strong and loving relationship of the parents creates a happier homelife as well as more balanced kids. So Richard and I forgoed Christmas presents to each other in replacement of an over night away. I just hope the kiddo are good for my mom!
oh wow how fun. Enjoy your outing. Isn't it hard leaving the lil ones?
ReplyDeleteIf I could go anywhere.....hmmm.... as long as it is with Ryan Id be happy in a lil scenic B&B somewhere. I hate staying away from Jacob lol so its good its just for one night.
We live in FL as well and like to head out to the beach (New Smyrna) for a night away from home.
ReplyDeletehmm...not sure where i would go for one night! somewhere warm at this point! lol
ReplyDeletehave a great time at disney! ive very jealous!
We would probably go into the city for the night- catch a show and eat a nice dinner. I hope you have an awesome time.
ReplyDeleteI would love to go somewhere warm, but if it was only for 1 night it would be hard to get to far. Maybe a nice little B&B where we could drink wine and snuggle by a fire.
ReplyDeleteIf I was closer to Disney World, I would pick what you are doing. (Although we are going there this spring)
ReplyDeleteI would love to pack up with my hubby and head to NYC to shop, catch a play and just walk around.
I would probably go visit my sister.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your time at Disney!
How fun! Enjoy yourselves!
ReplyDeleteOne night away from home, it would be anywhere with a hot tub, spa, swimming pool, and nice warm clean bed with room service (of course, all free). I just want to be pampered for a day.
ReplyDeleteSeriously I'm jealous!! Right now I would go anywhere...really wouldn't matter to me..just a day away :)
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful time!
I'd love to go to a scrapbooking convention!
ReplyDeleteI like your idea for Disney but it is a bit far away for us. I can't think of anything close that I would want to go for just one night.
ReplyDeleteI think you are very wise and setting special time aside for just you two is a great thing to do for the kids & yourselves.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful time! I totally agree that time away from the kids with your spouse is so important. We have a banquet tonight without Ryan. My cousin is watching him. Enjoy and have a blast!!!
ReplyDeleteA nice bed and breakfast with a cozy fireplace and/or hot tub. I'm looking forward to a 3 night get away in about a week and a half! It has a fireplace. I have two kids - 5 and 7 - and I probably won't miss them! They love it when we go and leave them with Grandma and Grandpa! Hope you have a great time!
ReplyDeleteI think I would go spend the night at my best friends house and have a sleepover - like we are in high school again. :)
ReplyDeleteI would love to take hubby with me and return to where we honeymooned! On the Sunshine Coast!

Oh, your sounds amazing! To have Disney resorts close enough just to go, I am so jealous.
ReplyDeleteI would love to go to a quaint country inn or bed and breakfast.
Without my kids, it would be a spa so I can be pampered. : )
ReplyDeleteWith the kids, it would be Disney World.
Right now it is hard because I have a newborn (3 months old) so I would not leave him overnight yet but tomorrow night Rich and I get to go out to a holiday work party of Rich's and be home around midnight! I will be picking up at least Nicholas from my mom's house. Hopefully Sonia will SLEEP at Nana's.
ReplyDeleteI would go back to the cabin my hubs and I stayed in in the Smokey Mountains, Gatlinburg, TN
ReplyDeleteIf we had someone to watch the kids.. I would love to go to dinner a movie.. maybe spend a night in a nice hotel. I can keep dreaming lol
ReplyDeleteI would spend the night in Santa Cruz with my husband...I have so many fond memories of trips we took there when we first started dating!
