Kidisms

About a month ago, my friends and I were discussing vacations. One of the bestest opted for Florida, a Disney get-away.

"Ugh." I said.

Nevermind the cost, it's the fact that I did the Disney thing, the Florida thing, and planned on going to Florida this past fall but my plans fell through. I'm anti-Florida at this stage of the game.

So I asked little man, "If we could go anywhere in the United States, where would it be?"

"Vegas." He automatically replied.

He never ceases to amaze me, or should I say shock me. I don't ever recall having a 'Vegas' conversation with him, or mentioning Vegas to him, ever. It's not on my top ten destination lists so I had absolutely no clue where this came from.

Some pondering, research and a voice of reason made me think Virginia.

"I don't want to go there." He adamantly refused this destination.

"Why not?" I asked.

"They have slaves there." He told me.

Apparently, he didn't grasp the timeline of Black History Month. He did however grasp the heroic stories of this Nation's great history. I played up the history with Colonial Williamsburg and he told me it sounded "creepy." Now my feelings were hurt because Colonial Williamsburg is on my dream destination list. Little man finally agreed to Virginia, but only if it's a city. He wants to stay in a city.

We found a city in Virgina not far from Colonial Williamsburg.

I can't wait.
