Real Vacation Days

Happy Wednesday, everyone!  In my case, it actually my Friday as I fly to DC tonight to spend the weekend with Becky!  I am especially excited because these are the first vacation days I'll take that won't be spent studying or dealing with the move!  So in other words, it's my first REAL vacation day in over 6 months!!  I am so overdue for some time away from work!

I visited Becky 2 years ago and she was the PERFECT host so I know I am in for some fun in the DC area.  I am not sure if I will still be in my cast and boot - I'll find out at my doctor's appointment this afternoon.  At this point, I'm expecting to get a new cast and to continue to be in the boot, but Becky is aware of this and has things in mind that we can do that won't require me to be on my feet. 

It will be strange to not spend this 4th of July holiday at the lake.  I can probably count on one hand the number of times I haven't been at the lake for the 4th.  So it will be a different kind of 4th of July celebration, but I will still have a great time.  I am glad I'll be with a good friend as that will keep my mind off the family fun that I am missing out on back at home.

For my American readers, I hope you have a safe and fun 4th of July celebration!  And for those outside of the US, enjoy the rest of your week!

It's crazy to think that last year I was in Seattle for the 4th and right after that we headed up to Amber's wedding! You and Becky are going to have a blast and hopefully you won't miss the lake too much as a result :) I hope you get the boot off!

We will miss you at the Lake and will send off a firework in your honor! Be sure to watch the skies for it! Have a safe and fun Independence Day!

I know you'll have fun with Becky and Ben regardless of the outcome of your doctor's appointment today. Though, I'm holding out hope you get some hopeful news, even if it does mean giving your foot more time to heal.

I am excited for you!!! I remember my 1st big weekends away from the family (my 1st memorial day weekend I spend in tears...). It is so important to distract yourself with fun things! Like this trip!

You will have so much fun! I love DC.

Praying praying praying for good news with your doctor's appointment.

I'm sure you had an incredible time, even without the lake -- and I know you'll have a blast seeing and being with a friend! Yay, Becky!

I hope you had a great time and that it was not too hot! I went to DC last year and the weather was perfect, but I have been in August and it's pretty darn humid. However, either way, I am sure you had a great time with Becky!
