Use it or lose it

One of the perks of being a 4 year survivor... err someone with tenure at work is that I accumulate vacation time quickly. Which leads to the next question, "Where am I going to go for vacation this year?"

Last year, I traveled to Virginia to visit with my aunt and uncle. It seemed as though I came too soon because:

1) I don't call 40 degree weather a suitable temp during any vacation for me. I was sequestered to the house until it hit at least 50 degrees. I am no snow bunny.

2) Then come to find out that the major annual event for Winchester, "The Shenandoah Apple Blossom Festival" is near the end of the month and not at the beginning when I was there.

But no matter. I had fun anyway.

So now I have about a two week period to figure out where to go.

Happy New Year!

It went off without a hitch. I fully intended to stay up and watch the ball drop in Times Square on TV and fell asleep on it. We had planned to make corned beef for new years and my son set the crock pot up before going to bed. I know this because I woke up to this before moving from the couch to the bed. I took a nap and then woke up at 3:00AM. Really? Insomnia? I stayed up until I watched the entire Rose Parade and then took another nap. Then it was lunchtime.
