Since we are going to California (don't tell the kids, it's a gigantic secret!) I've been looking online for places to stay. We wanted to go a different route than a hotel, which in my opinion, are often overpriced in peak seasons. Which is when we are going. I ran into this sight called airbnb.com. This site was amazing. I don't have too many issues with renting out a section of someone else's house or a studio apartment. In fact I think it's a pretty fun idea.
I know there's going to be some audible gasps from some of you, thinking, " You mean, you don't know these people? Think about the danger. Think about the...I don't know what... " And the answer is no. I do not know this cute single mom and her pre-teen kids. Maybe you're thinking Single White Female . I don't know. But, what I know is, we are going to be staying with a family in a residential area 10 minutes away from Disneyland with a separate entrance to our section of the house and we have access to a kitchen and our own bathroom. I'm stoked about it. Really. This will be our first REAL vacation as a family alone to somewhere the kids really want to go. I literally can't wait. But I'm having a hard time keeping it a secret and the kids know that! They keep pestering me to tell them because they know I can't keep things a secret very long!

I think that's pretty cool! I hope you have loads of fun and you'll have to tell us about the experience of staying at someone's home vs. a hotel!! What a great adventure!
Sounds fun! Please tell us how it goes. We're thinking of taking a trip too. If your experience is good, maybe we'll follow suit. :)
I think it sounds awesome! In fact, I'm getting on that site right now to plan our own disney excursion.
