It started with almost a week in New Orleans for work. A great, great trip where I got to hang out with my favorite Nola-ite and also two of my favorite Tennesseens! (Is that a word?) SO MUCH FUN!
I just returned Wednesday from San Diego. A short trip, also for work. While there, I explored Gaslamp, the Seaport Village, Old Town San Diego and Coronado! Packed in it. Totally planning to take the family back there next Summer when I have to go back for work.
Next up, St. John for 10 days in April. Over Easter. Ella's spring break. What a lucky gal. We are staying at an adorable cottage near one of my favorite beaches. Just the four of us. I am eager to completely become one with my Virgin Islands Mango Ale and my beach chair! Pictures soon come. This will be the first trip back for the kids in while (I got to do a girls trip last March) and they are pretty excited.
In May, Hung is venturing to New Zealand for 11 days. I am a little jealous but he more than deserves a boy trip! In late May, over the Memorial Day holiday, we'll make our annual (2 years running) camping trip with the Gills to far middle of nowhere Virginia.
In June, another turn for me! Spain, Portugal and possibly Morocco (depending on the political situation) with two of my favorite girlies! Tickets are purchased, hotels/apartments are booked, car reserved. So far, in all my travels, I've only ventured internationally to London & Cambridge. This should be QUITE the adventure. I am very excited but it seems very surreal. It doesn't seem like its real life.
In late June we have a weekend trip to Atlantic City planned for Dave Matthews CARAVAN! A music festival with some of my all time favorites ... other than Dave - Amos Lee, Grace Potter, Ray Lamontagne, Michael Franti, David Gray! It is going to be AMAZING!
July will bring a quick trip to Christiansburg. A shared birthday girls' weekend with my favorite southern bestie. There isn't much to do in Christiansburg, but there are wineries and it is mid way from Knoxville, TN and Northern Virginia!
Late July/Early August, I pack up and head away for work again to Miami Beach. Not an ideal summer location, but yummy mojitos and a king size bed to myself for an entire week! Though I have to work my tail off, it is a fun time and will be here before I know it!
September - semiannual beach trip to our condo in Virginia Beach!
October, I'll be heading out with my favorite new mom for another girls weekend to Rehoboth Beach. Our annual tradition takes us there typically in May, but between a June due date for my bud and all of my travels, October seemed more civilized!
Nothing, so far, planned for November or December ... though I am eager to hit NYC between Thanksgiving and New Years eventually. Maybe this will be the year!
2012 promises to bring Boston, Montreal, St. John (again over Carnival this time!) and San Diego --- mostly work related, but all looked very much forward to!
