So close...I can almost taste it...

By this time tomorrow, I will be on a plane.  I am leaving all my stresses and worries of late back here in DC.  Well, I am going to at least TRY to, anyway. 

Earlier this year, I realized MVP and I had never taken a true vacation together.  Yes, we've travelled together -- road trips, holidays, family get togethers.  And we did take a trip to Florida last summer, but it was a group vacation with lots of MVP's family. 

I gave it some thought and set my sights on a particular trip.  I asked MVP to check his schedule and see if he would be able to take vacation on that particular week.  He gave me the all clear and I booked the tickets.

And didn't tell him where we were going.  He HATES surprises.  And me?  I LOVE them.  I think after the 2011 Christmas Day of Adventure he trusts me a little more...but still a little anxious. 

There was no way I would be allowed to wait to tell him the destination.  But I still wanted some sort of surprise.  Stopped at the store on the way home to get a card to put the info in, and then had an even better idea. 

And of course Blogger keeps flipping the photo.....

I just emptied the box, put the tickets in and taped it back up.  Bonus that it was on sale for $0.99 so was also much cheaper than a greeting card.

Tomorrow MVP and I will be off to San Francisco for a week.  Have been quite a few times and is still one of my fave cities to visit.  We have a few things planned out and a few days that are a little more open/laid back -- we figured over scheduling a "vacation" was def not going to alleviate all of my stress. 

This pullover will also be coming with -- the Phillies are in San Fran next week.  Yes, they will probably lose, but I will enjoy getting to see them in such a nice ballpark. 

So for now, its deep breaths to try and get me through the home stretch today and then I am outta here!
