We have done it! Strike up the band, throw confetti, plan a parade! We have planned a vacation. Not a vacation to go home, but a vacation to go somewhere we have never been. We are traveling all the way up to Duluth. A whole two hours north. The one big mistake we made was going there during the fourth of July holiday. We both took the weekend off to go do something. It's nice to hang around home during the big holidays every once in a while, but the last thing we wanted to do was to do it again.
We have never traveled anywhere for holiday weekends like this one, so we decided to change it up a little bit this year. What are we going to do? No clue. What is going on up there that weekend? No clue. All we know is that we are going to be there. On a side note, plan your vacations way more than two months in advance. Especially if it is a holiday weekend. Hotel options are pretty slim. Also, prepare to overpay. But what are you going to do? Other than go on vacation on a non-holiday weekend.
I have written about this before, taking vacation. We have just always gone home to Michigan for vacations. Off the top of my head, I think we have taken one or two trips that were not to Michigan or not to visit family. We went down to Dallas for a weekend many years ago for a weekend trip for my birthday with a couple of close friends. We use to take weekend canoe trips with big groups of people. But that is really about it. We visited our brothers in Seattle and Colorado Springs. So it's not to say we haven't traveled places, we just haven't done so without ulterior motives. We have no plans yet for this weekend trip. We do not know what is going on up there that weekend. We are just going. And that is a wonderful feeling.
