Is ready for Friday!

That's right, I am so ready for Friday. Why you ask. Well, I'm driving to Columbia, TN to see my best friend, Summer, and her husband and little girl. I haven't seen them since last year and Irie is already over a year old. I'm really looking forward to my drive. I'm actually going to spend the night in Florence, SC at Brian's parents, then leaving Friday morning. That way it will take 2 hours off my drive. Anywho, my drive will be really nice. I will get to drive through the mountains. I've always loved the mountains. Growing up, my family and I would go camping in a small town called Townsend. I loved going there. So many fond memories. We would go inner-tubing down the river, drive through Cades Cove, go into Gatlinburg and ride up the sky lift to see the view from the top of the mountain, drive over to Cherokee, and so much more. I've had the opportunity to bring Brian there a couple of times. I think he enjoyed himself when we went. I'm a little more outdoorsy than he is. Grant it, I won't be driving in the state park, but I will get to see the mountains from a distance when I drove through Asheville, Knoxville and the other towns I will be passing by. I think we will have a good time. Summer and I always have fun when we get together. Saturday night we are going to watch the Sex and the City movie. Soooo looking forward to that one. I'm glad I get to watch it with someone other than Brian. I think Brian would have shot himself if he had to watch the movie with me. On my visit, we will just relax and catch up on everything I'm sure. I will leave Monday and head back to Florence.

Tuesday, Brian and I are getting on a plane at 5:45am for San Diego, CA. We are going to spend two and a half days before we jump on a cruise ship to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. We are going to the San Diego Zoo, Sea World, and to a Padre and Chicago Cub's baseball game. Can't wait. Brian got us a room at the Hard Rock Hotel in the Gaslamp district. Actually, everything is located at the Gaslamp. We can walk to everything from our hotel. I've already looked up the restaurants that are rated to best places to go to check out. It will be a little chilly there, but at least we won't be sweating while at the parks. We should have a ball.

Thursday, at 4pm, we will get on the Carnival Elation ship for our voyage to Cabo San Lucas for 4 nights and 3 days. So exciting! I'm looking forward to eating all of the food. I'm also looking forward to all of the fabulous drinks we will be having. We will arrive in Cabo at 8am on Saturday and we will be there until 4pm. While in Cabo, Brian and I are going snorkeling and parasailing. Sounds like fun doesn't it? I will be sure to take lots and lots of pictures. I've never been on a cruise, so you know that I'm so looking forward to this trip. I got a cocktail dress for the Captain's Dinner and a couple of beach cover-ups to wear on the ship and island. I know this will be a fabulous trip. I'm glad I have a husband that likes going to different places each year. Our first year together we went to San Francisco, the next year to Omaha, NE for the college world series, and this year to San Diego and Cabo. Plus, lots of other places in between.

When I get back, I will post lots of pics.
