Tripping

Today, Jff and I are heading out of town. We are heading to Arizona for a long weekend to escape part of February in Minnesota. Although it will only be three days, we will have a chance to get out of town, escape thinking about daycare, doing house projects, and looking at mud-brown snow piles on the side of the road. I am really looking forward to it.

It is officially the last time (for a while) that we will travel with only 1 suitcase shared between the two of us, with only a few simple things to do on the plane, and no one on our laps. It is the last time that we will leave our house in the morning with our stuff so we can hop on a plane directly from work. It is the last time we will leave the house for a trip with out diapers for a very long time. Amazing, really.

Last night as I was hoping that this trip would stack up against some of our best (and most recent trips), I made a top five trips in my mind:

5. a tie: Jamaica, summer 2006 and Washington D.C., spring 2007
4. San Francisco, spring 2006
3. Hawaii-Oahu and Kawaii, fall 2006
2. Oregon Coast, spring 2008
1. Europe, spring 2008

This was a harder task than I could have imagined because really, every trip has wonderful things about it that are unique and interesting. For instance, Jamaica was sunny, warm and beautiful and DocMI got married there, but our trip out to D.C. was one of great exploration and fun between husband and I. In the end, I guess each trip needs to be judged separately.

So here is to another great trip--as we look forward to the East Coast in July and Atlanta in October- these adventures with a third partner!
