Why I missed the 2010 Mom 2.0 Summit

I was really looking forward to attending the Mom 2.0 Summit this year. I purchased my conference ticket in December, I had my hotel booked, I was even going to travel with one of my favorite clients. It was going to be a great conference with some of my favorite blogging women.

And then, I learned my daughter’s dance team would be performing at Disneyland that same weekend. No contest.  (I love my fellow blogging-mamas… but I love my kid more.)  I quickly found a new owner for my Mom 2.0 ticket, and booked a flight to the OC. I’m not sure who was more excited: my little dancer or her mama (who has impressive stage-mom potential).

My husband and I gathered our best friends in Silicon Valley, and our best friends in Orange County, and we all trekked to Disneyland. We braved roller coasters, consumed cotton candy, hugged Mickey and Minnie, and marveled at my five-year-old dancing on stage! Our family had a good time at Disneyland and a great time watching the Big Show. My little girl may not be the next Cyd Charisse, but she is cute as a button!

Take a look at the video, and you too will understand why I can wait until 2011 to attend the Mom 2.0 Summit.

My family just returned from a wonderful vacation that included a trip to Disneyland and California Adventures.  We spend two days riding the tea cups, eating Cotton Candy, and meeting Princesses!  It was special to spend so much time together, even if our four-year-old was completely spoiled at the end of the trip.

Regardless, our trip was another reminder of how much I love watching a daddy and his daughter!  My two favorite people melt my heart!
