Next Thursday starts my vacation! My original reason for taking vacation when I did was that I planned to go to Florida for a few days (and meander on the way down and back to see other places) for the sole purpose of going to a Thom and Coley show. Unfortunately, my two road trip buddy girl friends were unable to take the week off with me. Then it became a boyfriend and I trip idea, but realized that it wouldn't financially work (plus we weren't going to be able to secure a pet-sitter for the crew for the week - we really do need to get an RV that the critters can all travel with us in). I decided to go ahead and take the time off of work anyway, and just use the time to do some things locally.
We are less than a week out, and I am sitting here trying to figure out what I plan to do for the eight days that I have off. So far, the only real plan I have is to attend a paint night at my friend's church next Friday, and to head to the Lancaster area at some point for breakfast at Shady Maple Smorgasbord (because seriously, that's 100% worth the three hour drive - plus my friend Adele lives close enough to there that I am trying to get her to come see us when we go, and it's an opportunity for Jeremy to go shopping at Cabela's on the way there or back, which he's pretty thrilled about). Other than that, I have zero actual plans.

I am wishing and hoping for warmer weather during vacation week so that I can walk all or most days. The dogs would appreciate that as well, I'm sure. My neighborhood is a pretty awesome spot for walking, as it's nice and quiet, and also manages to offer some pretty awesome views. I loved the handful of nice days we got this year so far that allowed me to go walking with the dogs. There are also some really great local state parks, one of which I particularly love visiting. There's a few parks I haven't visited yet that I'm looking forward to checking out. I feel like my week counting down to vacation is going to be crazy-busy (tomorrow is my only day off between now and then), but I can't wait. I am so looking forward to just spending time doing what I want to do, for eight whole days. Now I just need to find a way to get all of the chores around the house that I need to do done before vacation so that I have a bit less to worry about.
