a visit to the land of make-believe...

My family doesn't often go on the kind of vacations that most people would think of as a "vacation" but this year, while our kiddo is still a kid (the very last shadow of a kid but I'll hang on to that as long as I can) we went to Disney World. Yup, THE Magic Kingdom...

It was magical and we had even more fun than we expected.

I am home now and enjoying the odd revelations it has provided. Odder still is the fact that the more I talk about my experiences the more I am noticing other people can relate. Such is the power of collective fantasy. The last time I was in Disney World I was a very different person and I am pleased to be able to say that I much prefer the person I am today. I never could have imagined myself with such a loving, kind, supportive and FUN husband and child. I never could have imagined deserving them. It is a wonderful feeling waking up from a dream and finding real life (strange and challenging as it may be) far better than any fantasy land one could imagine! (even Walt himself!)
