Dreaming of a Girl’s Weekend Getaway
Posted in Dreaming on March 21, 2011
This weekend is my annual girl’s weekend getaway. There are a couple of us that try to get together every year. It started with my 30th birthday. We headed to Biloxi, Mississippi for a true birthday blowout. Last year, we were on a super tight budget but we had a wonderful time exploring Destin, Florida. This year, we are headed to Orlando. I know I just went to Orlando for the Traveling Mom Retreat and it feels like we head to Orlando every other trip but I am so excited about this trip.
We have been reading the Harry Potter books since the first Harry Potter book came out over ten years ago. We have a standing date when the movies come out and I can’t wait to share the books with my children when they are old enough.
We are making this trip to visit the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. I got lost in the pages of the books and I can’t wait to get lost in the streets of Hogsmeade, walk the halls of Hogwarts, and drink our first butterbeer (we have been told frozen is the way to go).
What I am most looking forward to is spending some much needed girl time with two of my best friends.
Stop by Mother of All Trips to see other travel dreams!

Ha! We went there a couple weeks ago and I’m set to blog about it and other things we did in Orlando. HP world is pretty neat-o, enjoy!
Erin-If you have any hints on a successful trip to HP World I would love them! I can’t wait to read about your trip!
I hope you have a fantastic time!
Other than don’t go on a weekend if you can avoid it and take plenty of cash, I don’t have much advice. If you can afford it (and we couldn’t with 7 people), my friends have raved about the extra hours passes which let you in early and stay late. You can go on all the rides with almost no wait. They also offer line jumping tickets, which again make things more fun, but twice as expensive. If your kids are too little to go on the castle ride, you can go in the line-jumping line and just walk through the castle. And it probably doesn’t matter to you, but when Mike took the twins on one of the roller coasters and I took the little 3 ont he Hippogriff ride, I had to camp out at the beginning of the line and find some nice people to promise to ride with 2 of them as all needed a big person next to them (later, the twins were judged big enough to sit with a younger sibling).
I’m jealous. A real girls vacation sounds heavenly!!
Have so much fun!
I want to join your Mommy group!! I guess we’ll have to meet up for coffee soon! LOL!
