another VaCaTiOn

On June 24th we will be off to SEATTLE!!!!

You may secretly wonder why we can afford so many vacations...
Let me explain..

--No we aren't rich--

Just smart (and a little prideful) but mostly blessed. :)

When we got married we signed up for a Frontier Credit Card (gasp!)

--Not to buy many frivolous trinkets that we cannot afford--

You see we get miles for every dollar we spend so we buy everything with our card and use it like a debit card.

Now back to our trip...

2 round trip tickets: $10
Lodging: free (thanks to Aunt Shannon)
Rental Car: TBD (but splitting it with David's sister who will be joining us)
1/2 Marathon: $80 ($10 off for a coupon code I found online and $25 off for signing up early)

I am thankful to have another vacation to look forward to during these months of training (24/7) at my new job. :)

a top 10 of sorts

Some of my favorite things about our Caribbean Cruise:

10. Movies Under the Stars--imagine watching a movie on a lounge chair with free popcorn, a cozy blanket and your favorite person underneath a sky full of stars and a full moon. One word: bliss!

9. No responsibility--blackberry wouldn't work, no laundry, no cooking, no budget balancing, nada!

8. Twice-a-day maid service--I never made my bed or hung up a towel the entire time

7. Seeing the ocean every, single day!

6. Learning how to play Canasta on our balcony

5. Ordering 3 different flavors of ice cream at dinner --just so I could see which one I liked best

4. Getting to be with David all the time

3. Spinning Class--my first time ever and running has never made me sweat quite like that

2. Being rocked to sleep every night--I totally understand why babies like that so much

1.Doing what we wanted, when ever we wanted and never being bored--a perfect vacation!
