V-Day - 1

August 4th, 2011 at 01:20 pm


One day til vacation - I've decided my vacation starts today (vacation from stress that is), and by that, I mean vacation from stress and gumpies.

I was fairly productive and spendy yesterday (see previous post about Walmart and Walgreens) - got the dog groomed as well, and got rid of four big bags of stuff (two of hand-me-downs for a friend and two for Salvation Army).

Today we (1) head to the library for "free" entertainment - DVDs, books on tape and playbacks, (2) I need to get copies of my house key made for my mom who will come in and feed the birds, turtle, frog and fish (can you tell we have a menagerie), and some other odd errands.

We've decided to spend an additional day in VA (arrive Saturday afternoon, leaving the following Saturday early and making the 14 hour drive home in one day). This is what I've spent thus far:

(1) $100 for hotel during drive there
(2) $450 + Tax for six nites in Williamsburg
(3) $550 for tickets (7-day passes good for Busch Gardens and Colonial Williamsburg)
(4) $50 on snacks thus far (rough estimate)

I am also filling up the gas tank today, and we're picking DH up at work at Noon tomorrow, so I'll pick up the sandwich fixings and fruit in the morning.

We're also heading to the pool this afternoon, so I've got to be productive this AM. Smile

    Laura: Your vacation prep sounds like mine. I was longing for the days when I could throw a couple outfits in the car and go. Nowadays it's like planning the Normandy invasion. Have fun!

    Whoa! A 14 hour car ride. I feel for you there. We did a 10 hour drive to Colorado this spring and that was a very long day. I got particularly antsy once were gaining altitude.

    I think you will have a fabulous time!!
