W
e were finally taking our
first real family vacation
in years: five days visiting
my parents at their Florida condo,
followed by three days at Universal
Studios Orlando. My ocean-loving,
Harry Potter-obsessed kids were
beyond excited.
I was filled with dread. All I
could see were the challenges, not
the potential fun. My 11-year-old
daughter, S., is a differently-wired
kid whose anxiety and mood swings
make life a little unpredictable. My
8-year-old daughter, C., is gluten-free
and the pickiest eater ever.
For advice on how to make the
best memories possible, I turned to
the wise hive-mind of Hudson
Valley parents.
New places,
new experiences,
new chances
for meltdowns
