Time For A Question - From Ann
I know where I would rather be right now. I would love to be in Calistoga, CA enjoying Sparkling Wine at Mumm. Then (after the appropriate amount of time ;-> )drive along the winding roads with our top down and the tunes guiding us along. 'What's that? Another winery? Let's visit!' Ahhh, dreamy. Where would you rather be?
Gosh, I would settle for anywhere but here right now. I have to meet my ex at the train and drop off my son, so that means...well, let's just say that means aggravation.
I would like to be in a hotel (I'm not picky, doesn't have to be a luxury hotel, Holiday Inn or Best Western will do). A nice indoor pool (not too many little urchins splashing it up). And enough money to dine in a few nice restaurants (ones that doesn't have paper napkins) during our stay. In a place that's a nice scenic drive from home. That's not asking for too much is it?
We were hoping to have such a getaway in about a week to the Wisconsin State Fair, but it doesn't look like our finances can swing it, so we will be missing yet another year of what was always a family tradition.
Of course a cruise would always be nice...

Am I too late to win your monthly comment contest?
Count me in on the Calistoga action.
Happy VGNO.
A decent hotel away from home sounds pretty good to me!
Happy friday and happy GNO!
<3 that song! i've hung out with those two ladies a couple times. they are terrific. (we are from the same place.)
yes, you totally deserve a little getaway. if i could get away OH! there are so many places!! africa, amsterdam, egypt, england, the galapogos islands, uumm... yea tons o' places!
BUT i'm trying (trying!) to be happy with where i'm at right now. cuz, well the only other choice i have is to not be happy about where i'm at right now. and that won't work!
for you...

Ohhhh, the Wisconsin State Fair--the cream puffs......
C'mon Lola, Road Trip!!! I'll pick you up.
Vacations keep getting put on the back burner for me too! Sucks!!!
At least you can afford VGNO. Right?
I'm sorry you can't swing a trip to the state fair this year - I'm in the same boat. Missing everything that I'd established as family traditions with the kids - which totally sucks, because I worked hard to create the traditions. When I was growing up, my family didn't have any traditions...and I missed that. So I can totally understand your frustration. :( And no - what you mentioned isn't asking too much. Then again, that could be because I'm wanting to do the same things! :) xx
