Murphy's Law

Our family conversations, as they often do, drift toward vacations to Disneyland. Either we talk about our last trip or are making plans for our next trip. So, it wasn’t much of a surprise recently when my daughter, Claire, was looking at a collage of photos and asked me what was my favorite part of our last trip to the happiest place on earth. I didn’t have one. I never do. I like everything related to Star Wars. I like the Indiana Jones ride. I like the Transformers ride. I like eating large chocolate chip cookies and donuts the size of my head. I like having ice cream for breakfast. I like walking through all the shops. I like being able to wear tshirts and shorts knowing that back home it’s cold. What I like best, what I truly love and what makes me the happiest is that my family, which has grown to six, is all together. We spend a week doing just about everything together, and as much as I love Disneyland, it does not matter to me where we are as long as we are doing it together. My children, Claire and Alek, are older now and on their own. Claire and Trent have been married two years, and my son, Alek, will marry Anna June 1.
