Tony Robbins in one of his talks asked the audience "who likes surprises say 'I'". Half the people said "I". He said "bull sh*t you just like the surprises you like otherwise you call them 'problems'".
This is true about life but particularly true about vacations, double true about winter vacations, and triple true about winter vacation with kids.
It took us 6 hours to get to South Lake Tahoe last night despite leaving the house just before 2pm. I woke up in the middle of the night with a headache and got up in the morning stuffed and in pain. A couple Tylenol Colds did the trick. Then we learned that the gondola to the ski lines were shut down due to sever winds. So there went the ski plans.
We started strolling the Heavenly shopping area and had a coffee which was the worst coffee at Nestle Toll House coffee shop when it started to hail. As we stepped outside the coffee shop a sales lady asked us if we had any fun activities planned. I told her my only wish would be to get rid of the kids for a couple hours and just sit in a cafe with my husband and have one cup of tea. As simple as that and as far fetch as eternity at this time. We all laughed at the joke and headed back to the hotel thinking about swimming under the glass roofed pool watching the snow flakes fall dreaming about life.
Here is to a surprise filled vacation!
