Just the two of us, no one else around (except the millions of other people there). I wouldn't trade that trip for the world :) http://thingsthathappentomeandnotyou.blogspot.com/2009/08/my-happy-place.html My favorite adventure so far was our trip to Disney World.

It was everything wrapped into one.... I met my son, became a single mom, and my life was forever changed. I'm still scared to death, of course, but I can't believe the memories I already have in just 6 short months. I can't wait to see what the years to come will bring.....

I was newly single and didnt know many people as I had wrapped my entire world around my Ex. One of my cousins from So CA (I was in Sac)0 called and asked if he and his wife could hosts my daughters bday at their house to insure she wasnt alone. It was great! His wife made her a Barbie cake and they even got her a bicycle for a gift. Several neighborhood children also came over to celebrate. To see the look on her face I will never forget it. I will also never forget how loved that made me feel. For me, it was my oldest Daughters 3rd Birthday. we were all alone.

We arrived in the capital, and flew in a 10-seater to an isolated peninsula, in the middle of nowhere, where we stayed right on a volcanic sand beach. I only became anxiouse shortly before we left, as I realized that he would be with JUST ME for all that time, and unsure whether or not there would be other kids around. As it turns out, there were only four other adults staying in the beachfront bungalows on an empty, unspoiled beach, and my son managed to charm the pants off everyone and make a memorable impression. We were woken up in the mornings by 4 different types of monkeys and scarlet macaws, and had the most amazing, relaxing time in this tropical, untouched paradise...no whining, complaining, etc. It was magical! my most recent memory is a trip my 7 yr old and I took this past winter to Costa Rica, just the 2 of us.

First time commenting - want to have a chance at a prize. :) I found it when I was going through a rough patch, being a single mom most of my son's life (he's almost 4), and coming here reminds me that I'm not the only one doing this! Biggest adventure(s) with my son were moving to 1600 miles to live with my parents when he was 6 weeks old (that was an adventure with Grandma, me, new baby, 2 cats, and my honda civic piled with stuff). Then there was moving back to my home state almost 2 1/2 years later - just with me and him driving the 1600 miles. Sometimes I wonder how we've made it this far! I love your blog so much!

Mak was only 2 but she was soooo proud her Mommy was a nurse. And I was soooo proud because I had managed to PASS and FINISH nursing school being a single mom with no help or support from "The Other". I did it on my own for me and Mak. Awesome!!!
