Living the Dream

From the moment we booked the flights, to the day we went and now that we are back home and back to reality, I still feel  like it has been a dream!  I am so grateful for being lucky enough to win the money to be able to take our family on the trip of a lifetime and go to places that I have always dreamed of going but never thought would happen!

Even now I keep pinching myself to make sure that I am awake and not dreaming!!

For those of you who don't know, last year I was lucky enough to be invited to go onto a game show.  The most exciting part was that I won a little bit of money and for the first time in our lives my hubby and I decided that we were going to do something fun and not be our boring sensible selves!  We sat the family down and all said "if there is one place in the world you could go to on a holiday where would it be?" 

The kids and my hubby picked Hawaii and I jumped at the chance to be able to go to Las Vegas and renew our vows with Elvis!  We also decided that since we were over that side of the world that it would be totally ridiculous if we didn't go to Disneyland and LA and all the other exciting places while we were there.

Once we had decided on where we would like to go we set off to the travel agents without list of things to do.  We had booked 3 weeks of awesomeness and adventure that would give us a lifetime of memories!

It has been over 30 years that my hubby and I have been wanting to go to Disneyland (it's every kids dream isn't it?!) so to be able to share this experience with our girls made this trip even more exciting!!  Throw in extra trips to Universal Studios, Hollywood, Beverly Hills, San Diego Sea World, Legoland, the Grand Canyon and Hawaii and you have the ultimate dream holiday!!

Even now I can't put into words how grateful I am to be able to go on such an awesome adventure with my most treasured loved ones!!

This has definitely been one of those memorable moments in my life that I will always carry with me and that I wish everyone could experience!  There is nothing better than that feeling you get when you can live out one of your dreams!

Now I will start chasing my next dream because I have proven to myself that you can catch them!  And it's definitely worth it when you do!
