Summer Plans

Matt and I had headed North on the Fourth of July this year to check out a B & B and we decided to stay over night in Traverse City. Our first really spontaneous trip. I had a spare set of contacts in my purse, which was the only reason we could do this. So we stopped at the mall and picked up a few necessities and I searched the Internets on my phone and we booked a hotel and we stayed the night. Yeah us!! We had traversed up the Old Mission Peninsula and stopped at most of the wineries and pick up a few bottles of wine too. :) In the morning we made a quick stop at the Cherry Festival and wandered around downtown Traverse City, tried some more wine, before heading back home.
I have started my party planning. I don't feel the urgency that I normally feel, so I think this year is going to be a little more laid back for me. Which will be nice. I am still planning tons of stuff, but most of it is easier and not as much new stuff. My grocery list is only 50-60 or so items. We haven't done much with the house since last year, and that makes me want to do something drastic, but we only have 4 1/2 days to get everything and there is lots of housework and cleaning. There just isn't time for me to go completely crazy. Maybe I'll do some more clutter clearing or organization.
