Vacations...Babies..Money....ARGH

It is weird to be feeling poor and planning vacations! It is always this way, so I needn't be surprised, but it is still odd.

BREAKING NEWS: Hubby just got a HUGE bonus and a nice raise...wooohoooo!

OK, so this summer we are limited on travel as the baby is due in the middle of July and I won't be able to travel much once the kids are out of school. We will, however, head to Sesame Place for Gray's birthday and stay one night. Even though the baby will only be a few weeks old, we should be able to do that park without too many problems.

Next summer we are trying to plan another trip with the Fallons. Hopefully we will book a beach house this summer in the OBX so we are all set for next year. The best part about traveling with the Fallons is that they understand what it is like to have a brood of kids, and we just go and have fun. Last summer we rented a four bedroom house and no one used the fourth bedroom, so we are looking at three bedroom houses for next year. So long as there are two bunk beds and some other place for kids to crash like a loft or game room, we are all set. The baby will room with Ryan and I and hopefully will be old enough to allow he and I some quiet time sitting out on the deck. Then we can enjoy the beach and the joys of relaxation.

Oh how I wish summer was already here!
