New York, NY
Scott's been working really hard. And his boss has been bugging him about when he's going to take some of that PTO he's been racking up since before we even moved here and get it off the books already (finance people!). Well, Scott checked his calendar and we determined that the four days following Memorial Day (plus weekends) would be a good time for some R&R.
First we talked about possibly going to Italy again after all these years - this time to Rome and Sicily - taking advantage of the shorter and therefore less painful transatlantic flight from NYC versus from the west coast. (The travel time between NYC and London and NYC and San Francisco is nearly identical). Nah, still too many hours on an airplane to anyplace other than London or Iceland, we decided. And besides, after our first three months calling NYC home, we desired something less urban than London (and warmer than Iceland). Then we talked about a roadtrip to North Carolina's Outer Banks. I did a little research. Hmmm, we were still not feeling inspired. Washington DC to visit our friends Janet and Mark? No, we really could use some solid couple-time.

A Quick Trip to the Midwest for Some Niece and Nephew Bonding Time
Lake Orion, MI
Scott had a work conference in Scottsdale at the end of April so I decided to use the opportunity to go to Michigan to visit my sister, Jen, and her kids in Lake Orion. Now that we are just a short plane trip away, it is so easy to hop on a (relatively) inexpensive Spirit Airlines flight to Detroit. Although I have not been a fan of the discount carrier in the past, my flight was surprisingly pleasant for the brief hour-and-forty-five minute flight. I might have to do this again soon...
