So after 4 fantastic nights away we are home, it been amazing and just what we needed as a family. Yes spending money on a holiday is not very DFW but what we have gained from this holiday is priceless! it might sound cheesey but I am so proud of myself to have worked hard, saved and done this all on my own....these memories will last a lifetime
