What really matters - from out of the mouth of my babe!

The other day my son went back to preschool after a whirlwind vacation to Florida. We had done it all. We started at Kennedy Space Center. We saw rockets, the shuttle “Atlantis” and even a real astronaut. Next, we went to Disney World, where we met Mickey Mouse and all his friends. We entered a Magic Kingdom, World Showcase, Hollywood Studio and even a Kingdom of Animals. Finally, we made our way across the state to see my grandmother, Pat. It was an awesome vacation!

So, as my son was exiting my vehicle at drop off, his teacher let him know he had been missed. They also asked him what he had done and who he had seen in Florida. I leaned over to hear his reply. I hoped for insight into what had impressed my child the most. My wife and I had made quite the investment on this trip. My back and shoulders were still sore from carrying him as much as he walked. What would be his answer? The magnificence of the U.S. Space Program? Would it be a character or ride at Disney? NO! In a loud and ringing voice my son shouted, “I saw Mommy Pat!”
