Christmas in April!


I am so excited for the next two weeks that I feel like it is Christmas! I may just have a hard time sleeping tomorrow night! And why do I have the butterfly's in my stomach? Because its vacation time peeps! That is right ladies and genetelmen, Travis and I are headed to the windy city! My brother lives in Chicago and we love it there! It's a great place- but the 3 times I have been there were not during the winter!

We leave on Tuesday and we are BEYOND excited to......
see my mom and celebrate her 60th birthday
have fun with my siblings and their spouses
hang out with my two beautiful nieces that live there
see the Broadway show Wicked
have a private cooking clase (I could use this more than Trav)
eat tasty food
play some crazy game called Whirlyball
go on a city boat tour
watch my two brothers and sister in law run their booties off in a 10K
and go to the OPRAH SHOW!!!!!!!

Now that you read my list you realize why we are BEYOND excited!!!


Next Sunday Trav returns to the rock and I go to the great state of Texas for a week! We don't always do so well apart, so this is the only not so fun part of the trip. But somebody's got to pay the bills! Thanks Babe!

We NEED this vacation and we can't wait! There is always a good time when the Ginns are together! Maybe I will get a chance to post while we are gone. If not, I'm sure you will get more details then you want when I get back! Hope everyone has 2 amazing weeks!

I am SO jealous in the very best way! You have to post while you are away - I want a play by play of all of the Ginn siblings and their spouses together... perhaps you could set up a web cam...

I'm so excited to hear about Oprah! What day will you be there? Do you know the show yet? I can watch for you:) I've never been to Chicago, sounds like a fun time with the fam! I agree, you gotta post while you are gone.

OK....thank you so much for the gift card to Jamba. YOU ARE THE BEST! And hopefully you can get into the Favorite things episode. Oh man, that would be so cool. I am so happy you have such a great vacation ahead. You deserve it more than anyone on the planet.

OPRAH and TEXAS what the heck!
You are finally going to be close, and I still can't come and see you! Not Fair. Happy for you though. Too bad it's not Oprah's favorite things show. Could have cleaned up!!Have a great time. Call me when you get back, and tell me all about your vacation!

LUCKY!!!!! I'm so jealous! We went out to Chicago when ROb and I were first married and didn't get to do barely anything since he was doing the whole home security sales thing. I want to go to the Oprah show!!! And wicked...and play whirlyball...even though I have no clue what that is, but it sure sounds fun! YOu'll have to tell us all about it when you get back!

Tillia said...
