Cherry Blossom Festival




I've always wanted to go to Washington, DC to see the cherry trees in full bloom. Photographs I've seen are so beautiful! This year they are expecting full bloom on April 4th. I'd like to go to the festival and parade that day.



I do have family (and my man has friends) in that area, so I think we're going to head up for a short vacation in April. It will be great to see my mom. Although I'm really going to miss the puppy! Considering taking her, but flights are hard on pets and we'd need a safe place for her to hang out while we went out. (Pet Travel is a whole other blog.)

Thinking of flying in to Baltimore and renting a car on April 2nd and home on the 6th. Anyway, we'll see how it plays out.


Dreaming of Paris



I have an amazing fascination with France!
My dog is a French breed (Papillon, butterfly dog). My grandmother's maiden name is French. I love French wine and films. I'm starting to learn French (slowly). I'm reading the French Culture Smart! book to learn more about the culture. I love French fashion... haute couture!!! I long to see the lavender fields in the French countryside and to spend time soaking up Paris.

While surfing for new Paris images online I came across an fabulous apartment rental site. They have images of all their apartments, rates and additional information about the area. I absolutely LOVE they are decorated.

My favorite apartments:

Also, found another helpful apartment rental site: ParisAttitude.com



I need to do more research on the Arrondissements to see which area I would really love to stay in and what each one has to offer. I'm really glad they have a subway... makes it easy to get around!

New York: Things to Do



Just booked my ticket to New York for a short summer trip. So excited!!! My friends are getting married in Long Island on June 20th. Flying up with my bestie on the 18th and home on the 21st. I can't wait!

The city that never sleeps has so much to offer for things to do. Here's my list...
  1. Ice skate at Rockefeller Center
  2. Spend the last moments of a year counting in the New Year in Times Square
  3. Go to the Halloween parade in the Village
  4. Visit the Alice in Wonderland sculpture in Central Park
  5. Shopping, shopping, shopping!
Although I won't be able to do #1-3 due to the timing of this trip... I will be shopping! Will probably go to Central Park and could possibly see the Alice in Wonderland sculpture (if I can navigate us there). We also want to go to the Village for shopping, etc.

This is the real deal. A tropical getaway that helps you shape up and rejuvenate your life. I would LOVE to do this!

Bikini Bootcamp takes place in Amansala, Mexico. Sounds like a fabulous vacation to me!
