Love hearing all about you! As a single parent by choice I totally understand all of you who did not plan this route. I thought long and hard about it and even though it really was a no brainer, I still got to make the choice AND get my life and work set up pre adoption! Bottom line it was my choice AND I have no drama with an ex or in-laws!
I have traveled alone with DD since that first plane ride home from Guatemala and then yearly to family. She is an expert flyer at this point. Last summer we took Amtrak from Chicago to New York, 24 hours on the train, and it was awesome! Such an adventure and so cheap, $300 bucks round trip FOR BOTH OF US~
We are doing a Disney Christmas from 12/20-12/26, can't wait. I think we will be doing a road trip out west for the next big trip summer of 2016 or 2017 and then maybe a cruise. Unfortunately DD watch a documentary during shark week and is now terrified of being in the middle of the ocean! UGH
