Looking Forward...

The time has come again for me to spend the Christmas holidays away from my family. It wasn't quite as difficult as I anticipated it would be the first time around, but this time I get the distinct feeling it will be a little bit harder since... well... SAWYER.
 
I am excited about this Christmas vacation for a very different reason, though. This year, we are spending Christmas at Mike's parents' house in Florida. An hour away from Orlando.
 
Are you with me, people?
Yeah. That's right. This Christmas holiday come hell or high water I am going to THE HARRY POTTER THEME PARK! Heck yeah!
 
I have been wanting to go to this theme park since it opened, and my silver lining in spending Sawyer's first conscious Christmas (sure he was around last year, but he slept through everything. He was only a few weeks old) away from mi familia is that I FINALLY GET TO GO. WAHOO.
 
My favorite Harry Potter movie will forever be the first one. Why? Because I clearly remember sitting in the theater in complete awe of the world I read about in the books coming to life before me. Now I get to actually walk around in that world? Too cool.
 
Not sure if I should admit this in writing either, but I will most likely leave the park with a class sweater (Gryffindor, of course) or my very own wand. Annnnd, don't be too surprised if Sawyer is all garbed up in some sort of Harry Potter gear soon thereafter. Just saying. It's a strong possibility.
 
It's always fun to have something exciting to look forward to, and Christmas will be here before we know it.
:)
