Through The Tulips Words of 'Wiz'dom

I’m sitting here watching JJ attempt to bury his bone inside his crate and I can’t help but laugh. He’s so funny and animated and I honestly think he has the potential to be the best dog that I have ever owned, running a close second to our old family dog, Cocoa- who was brilliant.

Marcel and I have been talking recently about doing some traveling. Since this is the year for our ‘big’ vacation later in the year, we don’t want to make it anything major, but we do want to get away for a weekend, or even a week to relax and not have to think about the responsibilities of everyday life. We’ve been going back and forth as to whether we’ll take JJ with us, or if we’ll let his mom babysit. I guess it will depend on the type of weekend get away we take. Part of me thinks it would be fun to take him somewhere new to experience, and then part of me just wants the quiet time without having to worry about ANY responsibilities, including that of taking a dog out. I guess we’ll have to wait and see how it all plays out, and where we end up going.

It doesn’t really matter to me where it is, as long as it’s somewhere.

A few days ago Marcel and I were talking about vacations. He brought up the subject, and he started asking me if I’d been to various places such as Los Angeles and the Outer Banks. I was able to say that I’d been to LA, but I couldn’t remember ever going to the Outer Banks, unless I just passed through on the way to somewhere else. I rememeber hearing alot about Outer Banks vacations when I lived in Virginia, and since then I’ve heard numerous other people talk about how beautiful it is there. He said that maybe we should go sometime. Maybe he’s right. There are so many places I want to see, I’m sure my list will never be completed.

Where is your favorite U.S. travel destination? I loved San Luis Obispo, CA and traveling up Hwy 1, plus I love Williamsburg, VA and Roanoke, VA area and the mountains. Again, there are so many places that I haven’t seen.

My sister in law told me a few days ago that she’s always wanted to visit Las Vegas. She has huge dreams of hitting the jackpot, but I told her that I would imagine that anyone who ever visits the casinos and plays hopes to hit the jackpot.

Personally, gambling is not my thing, I’d rather take my money and have fun with something like the shows. In fact, I could go to las vegas hotels and never even think about going to the casino, but instead spend my time by the pool and going from one show to the next.

What about you?
