Going On Vacation

Tomorrow hubby and I will be on our way to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. This is sort of a working vacation for us. We are going to paint 2 houses, but it looks like there will be some down time for sightseeing and such. The first week, we will be staying in the city of Pittsburgh. The second week, we will be in the Allegheny Mountains at a little cabin on the river. It is about an hour away, north of the city and a beautiful place. We were there 2 years ago and loved it. That time, we drove up from here. It was some hard driving. We covered 7 states in 2 days. The first leg, we stopped in Nashville for a night. The next day, we went all the way to Pennsylvania. What a ride! We were on a stricter schedule then. This time, we will be flying. That is going to be interesting to say the least. I have only been on a plane once when I was 9 years old. It was a short trip. From New Orleans to Tampa, Fla. I don't remember much about it, so you could say this is going to be a new experience for me. We will stop in Washington D.C., but only for about 45 minutes. I would have liked to see some of that city too. I figure, if I take a nerve pill and maybe get a shot of whiskey at the airport, I should be ok for the duration of the flight. A friend suggested I take along a book. I have a couple in mind, but I don't want anything too deep. Just some light reading and I definately don't want anything about airplanes, terrorists and stuff like that. Maybe I'll just take the funny papers, or one of my grandkids story books!
All in all, I am excited about the trip and looking forward to some different scenery. I hope to have some good pictures to post when I get back. Until then, keep on blogging!
