It’s that time of year where everyone – especially those of us who live in the tundra that is South Dakota – start getting sick of winter. We start dreaming of warmer weather and not seeing that dreaded white stuff around every corner. Unfortunately, it’s only February and winter is loooong from over. To fight those winter blues, sometimes you gotta get out of the tundra and go someplace warm.

And that’s exactly what we are doing! We took off early this morning and kicked off our week in beautiful Florida.

We are spending the week in Disney world and I can’t wait to get this adventure started! I am a giant kid at heart and have always loved everything Disney. I’ve been a few times in the past, but it’s extra special this time because it is strictly vacation. No conferences that my parents have to disappear to. No freaking half marathon I’ve gotta run while I’m here. Nope. Just vacation. I’m ready!!

I haven’t had an actual vacation in a few years and I am more than due for one. It’s so important to take time out of our busy lives to kick back and relax for a little while. I work hard and I deserve to treat myself! We all need to remind ourselves of this every now and again.

I strongly encourage everyone out there to get out of the cold if you can. Especially when we live in a place where it’s winter for 3/4 of the year, sometimes you just gotta get out of there to keep your sanity. Even a little break is good for the soul!

I hope everyone reading this has a wonderful week coming up. I’ll be out here soaking up the sun while I can. I promise not to rub it in too much 😇. See you in a week SoDak!

Until next time! 🙂
