It's that time of year. The boring time of year. I can guarantee that I spend more time googling vacations at this time of year than any other. I am just itching to get out of town, or get something on the books that states in writing that I will be taking some sort of vaca soon. I need it on the books!
My sisters and I share this. I think it must have come from my Mom as she is as bad as I am; and it gets worse every year. The "borings" hit me as soon as all of the holiday excitement ends and we're left with the LLLLOOOOONNNG stretch from here till Easter.
So what to do to make the time pass? Winter is in full swing and I have lots of books to read, recipes to cook, yoga classes to take, volunteer hours to do, work (of course) - but I still find myself bored. Saturday nights roll around and my husband and I stare at each other blankly wondering how to pass the evening. Are we so lame?
The answer is yes.
So - here's the plan. I got the itch big time this morning and decided that even taking a little 36 hour getaway this weekend is better than staring at one another or the tv this weekend. Which is why we will be spending our weekend in lovely..... New Haven, CT! Actually we will be staying in
Branford, CT, which is very close. I want to visit Gillette Castle, Yale University, have one of those famous steamed burgers like I saw on Man vs. Food!
Now that's what I'm talking about it! It's not the Caribbean, but it's a change of scenery!

ReplyDeleteThe first pic you posted made me laugh :)
Here's hoping the borings go away soon!
I was googling plane tickets to Brussels just two hours ago!
ReplyDeleteSince the new year, I've looked into Europe, Key West and Colorado. I REALLY need something on the books.
Have a great time, and try not to get frostbit.
Amanda -I love long getaways too, but I will take what I can get! You know, gotta make the best of the weekend :)
ReplyDeleteLaurie - Brussels is amazing! You should totally go! I always want to go to Portugal this time of year too. Sounds warmish.
