A continuance.

I told Neall that this somewhat expensive and extravagant trip would be just what this family needed. I was right. I said that we needed to regroup before embarking on this trip down back-in-school-and-super-poor lane. I was right again. I said (actually promised) that this would be it until he is out of school and we are established wherever we end up, in a career we can sustain our family in. Here is where we run into difficulty. After a few days of rest I find myself daydreaming about going back. Now that we've done it the expensive way, I wonder how frugal we can be next time around. I mean, really. I only want to go to 2 parks. I wouldn't mind the campground. I could eat meals back at the campsite. The princess breakfast and fireworks from the top of a 5 star restaurant during dinner don't need to be re-done. Chicken nuggets and mac and cheese are not worth $8. I don't need dessert with every stinking meal either. So it could be done, right?!?! Dh is gonna kill me, lol.
