Work At Home Musings

The first week of my vacation is over and it went super fast! Unfortunately, I am going to have to wait until I get home to post some good pictures, but here is where we stayed the first week:

The home was right on the golf course in Kahler Glen (near Leavenworth, Washington). We were able to go horseback riding, tubing and visit the cute Bavarian town of Leavenworth. We also picked up some Turkish Delight from the Applet Cotlet store in Cashmere (more about that delicious candy later)!

I am finally on vacation and blogging to you from the great state of Washington! The trip was pretty uneventful but my husband and I had to travel on separate airlines due to the cost and I got to travel with the two young ones by myself. They were pretty well behaved though.

My husband almost didn’t make his connecting flight as they had given away his seat to someone else. I think if he had been traveling with one of those indestructible Zero Halliburton briefcases instead of the soft sided one he was carrying, I think he would have bonked a few heads!

I hate the last minute preparations for vacation! I get so stressed out that I feel like I am hopped up on Phentermine or caffeine. I also think that I will forget things and I do make lists, but sometimes I forget to put something on the list!

Fortunately, we are only traveling to Seattle, so I know that can buy whatever I forget. Still, it stresses me out! In fact, I had a dream last night that we arrived at the airport at 5:15pm when our flight was due to leave at 3:00pm!! Aggh!

I have mentioned before that I would like to visit Branson Missouri at least once in my lifetime. I recently came across a vacation site that offers Branson vacation packages. For example, they have a Family Package that offers 4 days/3 nights at the Presidential Condo, plus tickets to three great events. The total price for family of four is $925. Not a bad deal. If you just want to travel their with your one other person, you can get a similar package for just $423.

Since there is so much to do in Branson, I don’t think 4 days might be long enough! They have museums, water rides, go cart track, miniature golf courses, caves, shows, golfing and of course, SHOPPING! They also have some famous headliners with their own shows - Andy Williams, Bill Medley, Bobby Vinton, Gaitlin Brothers, Mickey Gilley, Oak Ridge Boys and even Tony Orlando! If country music is not your thing, you can go to an Elvis Show, a show with a tribute to 60s music, or other varieties of shows.
