for those of you who know me...

...know that i am NOT a spontaneous person by nature. so what i'm about to tell you might shock you. on sunday we took a NON-PLANNED trip to orlando! I KNOW, CAN YOU BELIEVE IT??? my cousin who lives in the orlando area was throwing a huge birthday bash for her hubby and she had family flying in from new york to attend. my parents, my sister and my brother were all driving down for the party too. i had other plans that i couldn't break on that saturday but i was thinking that maybe we could drive down on sunday and stay for the night. after thinking about it for awhile, we decided it was just too much to do and not really worth it. well, on sunday morning, i called my parents to wish them a happy anniversary and she said she really thought we should come down there. soooo, we spent the next 15 minutes packing up bags and at the same time getting ready for church. we decided we would leave right after mass. i still don't know how we did it, and as we were driving down to orlando, i kept thinking of obligations that i had on my calendar for monday. WHAT WAS I THINKING??? i had to make a few phone calls but everything got worked out. in the end, we had a fabulous one day visit with the family at our timeshare. it's always good to get away, especially when you're with family. and it's always good to be spontaneous, every once in a blue moon ;)
