Apparently I bitched so much about spending our vacation on the sandy beaches in Mexico that my husband actually agreed! Unfortunately I soon realized that he would be so worried about our safety the whole time that he wouldn't have time to relax and enjoy himself. So instead we figured out a trip that would make both of us happy, Washington, D.C. to New York, NY!
We're going for 10 days beginning in Washington, taking a day trip to Gettysburg and then riding the Amtrak up to New York. I've managed to book all the flights, car for Gettysburg, train to New York and hotels. So now all the working pieces are in order and all we have to do is wait. Problem is I was efficient enough to plan enough in advance but now I'm impatient and wish the trip was coming up. Unfortunately we have to wait until November.
Now that we're planning though, I'm getting super excited about DC and Gettysburg too. And I think Babe is getting excited about NY, which he's never had any interest in visiting. As planned as we are, the thrill of spontaneity always makes our vacations more exciting. We know how and when we're getting around but other than that, nothing else is planned. There's going to be a lot to see in such a short amount of time but I'm excited I get to experience it all for the first time with my best friend. He's definitely the best part of all these trips.
If anyone is reading this, I'd love suggestions on great places to visit that aren't the tourist hot spots. Something off the beaten path that would make our trip that much more enjoyable.
