V-a-c-a-tion

We've mulled it over. Researched deals. I've got my budget. Gone back and forth on Carribean vs. international vs. staycation. And we've finally made a 2010 vacation decision.

Drumroll, please...

We had so much fun last time, we're going back to Napa. (And San Francisco. And Half Moon Bay.)

Being that August is the only time Chad can really go anywhere, and being that I have the same business trip every August which he manages to get himself invited to, we've decided to extend our trip to California to see some family on the front end (and watch the Cubs play the Giants...but no our life doesn't revolve around baseball) and head to wine country on the back end.

Chad worked his magic and booked an amazing hotel for us in Napa. I'm so excited about this find I can hardly see straight. The only problem is that, between the giant bathtub and the fireplace, I might never leave the room!

Thanks in advance to Janice and Nick, who have graciously agreed to keep Lucy in exchange for a very nice dinner at a restaurant in Hawaii for their honeymoon. Something tells me after this 11-day experiment, they may rethink getting a dog.

Is it August yet?
