Weekend Mini-Vacation

This weekend G and I have decided to go on a mini-vacation. We just really wanted to get away without spending much money, so our solution is brilliant, if I do say so myself :) We are going to the zoo in Asheboro where we got engaged a couple of years ago! It's about an hour and a half or so away from here, so not too far to drive, but far enough that we don't get over there very often. In fact, we haven't been back since the day we got engaged, so this should be fun. And hopefully, it won't be as hot as it was that day since it's only April and not July :P.

We're planning to spend most of the day at the zoo (it's HUGE, I don't even think we got to see it all last time). Then, we've got a hotel room reserved in Greensboro. I've never been there, so it should be fun to sort of explore a new place. We got the hotel through Priceline, and after several failed attempts at naming my own price, I was able to get us a 3 1/2 star hotel (Marriott) in Greensboro for less than $70 for the night. The hotel has an indoor pool and jacuzzi, so I think we'll probably make some good use of that feature.

Even though we're just going away for one night, sometimes it's great to just get away and do something different together without the other distractions of every-day life. It might just be a trip to the zoo and a city that's just a few miles down the road, but we'll be spending all our time together, and I know we'll have a fabulous time. It's only Wednesday and I'm already excited about the weekend!
