First things first I vow never to post that I will post later, or in just a bit, or tomorrow. I will never again blog a time that I will post something. It never happens... then all I think about is that I haven't blogged. So I promise to never leaving you hanging, expecting anything. I needed this long weekend so badly... I got so much done! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!
Oh so I bet you want to know where we're going on vacation... Brandy got it right, we are heading to CANADA!!! We'll fly to Seattle, then drive to Olympic National park, ferry to Victoria, BC, ferry to Vancouver and then I think were going to take the train to Whistler. I'm really excited about this trip, i've always wanted to go to British Columbia. But honestly right now the planning is taking up a huge part of any free time that I have. If you've ever been to B.C. please email me if you have any advice. I am tring out priceline for the first time and I got a hotel in Seattle for our first night and last night of the trip. Its a 4 star that the hotel had listed as $309/night. I got it for $69 plus tax for a total of $89 a night. I was so thrilled! I'll keep you posted as I find deals... I wish there was a web site out there that had travel itineraries. Somethings that said we flew here for $$$, we stayed here there # is, we did this trip at this time and there # is. We then drove to here, it stunk wer should have gone here, then we ate here got this and it was yummy, go here to buy the best souvenirs, then watch the sunset here. The planning is exhausting and the cost of things is outrageous. I have a very specific detailed budget... I do not want to come home in debt. I've traveled without a budget before and boy have I been sorry after wards. I like to know just exactly what i'll spend before I leave and then know exactly what i'll splurge on. This trips splurge will be for the best whale watching trip we can take.
I've updated all my sidebar items if you're looking for some new ideas. Oh and a new blog banner, Still working on the photoshop thing. I also added two new sidebars; my crazy girls because they say so many funny things I want to remember and share and Right now a place to add quick updates that don't warrant a post of thier own, or when I don't have time to post, it will be easier to do this remotely.
Here is my scrapbook page from my creative weekend last weekend. I did the photo collage for the first time in photo shop. Nine photos on one page. Just a bunch of fun things we did to beat the heat when it was 102 degrees. Randy worked on the truck, Omars exotic birds, cleaning the scrap room, new sandals for vacation, playdough, a birthday for Sally and Tige, a visit to Ky's Saloon (salon).
Have a good one! Leave me some comments if you have comments on any of the new stuff! I see that Typepad has rearranged some posting options, something else to get used too.
