I get to go on vacation! I am so excited! Aside from camping trips, Sim and I haven’t been on a real vacation since our honeymoon. (Granted, that was a little less than two years ago, but still. Come on people!)

So we fly out of Portland on Friday morning and arrive in Washington DC. Sim has a conference there on Saturday and Sunday; so we are just gonna hang out for a few days. I will be lounging by the pool and checking out the shopping while he is geeking it up. Then we will check out the monuments, the White House, etc.

Next stop is Atlantic City, where we will stop for a day and check out the ocean on the other side of the US (Hey Jeff, maybe now I can see the sun rise over the ocean!). Maybe play on the boardwalk and check out the casinos! Watch out Donald Trump, here we come!

Our final stop is New York City! I have waited my whole life (all 23 years of it!) to visit NYC. I am so excited. We are going to go up in the Empire State building, check out central park, and maybe I’ll even let Sim check out FAO Schwarz! Then on Wednesday afternoon we fly out of Newark and head back home. Should be exciting and lots of things to share with you when we return!

Eeek! I am so excited!
