- During the pandemic, when we couldn't travel, I told my sons they could pick a trip for their birthdays.
- My oldest picked Seattle, and my youngest picked Disney.
- It's a gift to me being able to spend time with them and letting them call the shots.
In a few days, I'll leave my husband and 15-year-old son at home while I board a plane bound for Orlando with my 13-year-old son.
