Ladies and Gentlemen, We Have a Vacation Plan

Thanks to the need for a completely new and improved furnace/evaporator coil/duct work, plus the new carpet we just had installed, we will not be going to the Caribbean this summer. Well, that’s most of the reason. But also there is the fact that Jake really wants a new and very expensive camera lens that I, the CFO of SpudCorp, said he could get with some extra money sitting in PayPal if we didn’t go to the Caribbean. Oh and the fact that I am a paranoid mom and somehow was nervous about taking my infant daughter to what is essentially a third world country. Granted, a beautiful third world country, but still.

With that in mind, I looked domestic. We had such a fantastic time in Hilton Head last year, and it’s very affordable, and we could use fewer frequent flier miles to get there… So yeah, we booked a condo in Hilton Head. It’s very close to the lovely house we stayed in last summer, so we already know what’s around as far as stores and restaurants and such. I know, it’s not an exciting adventurous trip but considering it will be our first family vacation ever, maybe exciting isn’t exactly what we are going for. I am secure that we know what we are getting and will have a good time. That counts for a lot. Nothing worse than arriving at your vacation destination only to be disappointed in your hotel or the destination in general. Maybe we’ll save the Caribbean for when she’s older and can appreciate the turquoise water and white sand beaches.

OK, well now I need to get my ass to the gym. I have a little less than 3 months before I need to appear in public in a bathing suit. And I don’t have the luxury of wearing a maternity suit like I did last year. Well, I guess I could, but it feels like cheating.
