#36 - Take a trip with Alissa every August and do things that our husbands never want to do.

Louisville Girl's Trip - August 2008

Our first girl's trip - Tampa, Florida - February 2005 or was it 2006?

So the date for the trip w/ Alissa has been set - 1st weekend of October! Ok, I know. It's not August...I probably shouldn't have been that specific, but close enough! :P

We've decided to have a repeat of last year...just in a different month! We're off to.....Louisville, KY! It's a great halfway point for the two of us and it just gives us two days to do things that our hubbies would never do with us. My favorite part! ;) Sorry husbands...we love you...but there's just some things that you can only do w/ your best friend.

So anyway, I'm excited for us to get away again! We live 3 hours apart and although we keep in touch...it's still not the same. Alissa is my deal finder so I'm curious to see where we will be staying this time! :)
