Vacation Crazy!

I am going nuts waiting for vacation. I’ve never been this excited. Hubby and I are finally going away together. Just the two of us. While we’ve done this before, we have never flown anywhere on vacation just the two of us. Yikes, that’s horrible. Of course I’ve only flown 3 times so far and two times were with my Mom and others. lol So it’s not like I’m a traveling fool.

Here, safe,happy!

If hubby didn’t have to go to the work he loved so much we could so move here!  Let it be known, this is exactly what we want to retire to.  I’ll post the pic when I’ve uploaded, the view is amazing from my Aunt’s balcony.

But that is not all.  My Aunt’s hubby, can’t call him uncle personally as he’s only 10 years older and I was an adult when they got together.  We’ve had a blast going to USC campus, hollywood and then beverly hills!  I’m ready to hit hollywood again because I’m trashy and want my pic taken with Capt. Jack!

VACATION!

Tomorrow is the day finally.  We’re on a plane to my Aunt’s house in Redondo Beach, CA.  Totally excited to get our first true family vacation.

Laundry is almost done, dishes are caught up and ready to go after breakfast dishes are put in.  It’s only 10:30 here but I think I’m off to bed so I can get up early in the morning and finish everything up.  Our good friend is living with his mom right now since the divorce (still making house payments while she lives there, another post, lol) so he’s going to house sit next week and take care of the dogs.  Hunting season opens in the morning so I’m also going to have the teenager come over during the day and weekend while he’s at work and hunting.  I’m still stressing out about leaving my babies behind, but it has to be done.    I’m going to miss them lots.

focusing on positive

I’m working really hard at focusing on the positive.  It’s been pure chaos the last week.  It’s not easy, but I swear it’s the only thing keeping me sane right now.  Kids are on spring break this week, so hopefully it will be a little easier to fit it all in.  I’m taking Thursday off to take them to the zoo, so that will help.

We’re also taking off for the weekend in a couple of weeks.  Were going to the ocean, but I think we may borrow my friends cabin instead.  We are just getting caught up on bills and I really don’t want to go blow a few hundred dollars we could put into savings instead.  Plus then we can bring all the dogs with no problems too.

Always looking for vacation

It’s no secret that I’m always looking for a deal on vacation. I’ve found a fun wine themed cruise that I would just love to go on. What better than to be pampered on a big boat with no responsibility and lots of different wines to taste? Not much! You can see other themed cruises in the cruise specials at cruiselocators.com. I am looking forward to running off to Mexico in October and can’t stop shopping for what we want. It’s time to commit now.

national rodeo

I’m so damn jealous. My friend went to Vegas and watch the national pro rodeo finals and had a blast. It was just too late for me to come up with the money. All I had to pay for was my plane ticket too darn it. Granted I wouldn’t have gotten into the rodeo, but the whole environment there is just awesome. They had the hotel already paid for.

Runaway from the rain

Well you might have read my previous posts or even seen the national tv on how we have record rainfall here in the pacific northwest. Yes, record rainfalls would be a lot. Duh, it’s Seattle. lol We’re used to constant rain, but not big huge drops. And it washed away a lot of the snow we just got in the mountains. ARGHHH, don’t mess with my boarding!

San Diego

My Aunt is going to move down to San Diego to be with her husband now. I’m totally going to miss her when she does move, but they have been living this way for months now and I can’t imagine how hard it must be on their relationship. She can’t wait to get us all down there. I was down there the summer before my senior year and I can’t wait to go back.

Vacation Plans

Well I am on the hunt for places to stay next October when we go to Mexico. The more we’ve talked about it, the more people have said they want to go at the same time. lol Well this leads me to just wanting to get a condo or house instead of hotel rooms. Much cheaper to split it three or four ways instead of all of us paying over $200 a night for a plain old hotel room.

I NEED a VACATION

Here’s the deal. I honestly need an adult vacation. I need to run away with my husband. We have a bunch of friends and family that I can’t wait to run away with. I hope you know the kind of friends/family I speak of. The kind that you can go on vacation with, but they won’t try to guilt you into spending every minute with them? Yes, I am blessed with the friends and family…now…that we can do that with.
