I have come to the conclusion that I need a vacation. I want to get on a plane and actually go somewhere a significant distance away. In the almost 5 years that we have been together we haven't had a real vacation. We've gone on small trips but those were usually 2-3 days long which in the grand scheme of things isn't a lot. We never had a real honeymoon either, I think after 5 years it's time.
The Army is always a factor when we are planning vacations because of block leave schedules. They usually are given 2 two week leaves. One during the summer and one during Christmas. I'm hoping this next block leave we can actually go somewhere like maybe Hawaii or the Caribbean. I would love to go back to Maui, it's one of my favorite places and I would love for Kyle to see it.
I mean seriously how awesome is this resort? I stayed here in 2005 and it was amazing. I will get back there one day. Let's just hope it's sooner rather than later haha. I just need a break from reality for a week or so. We also talked about possibly going on a cruise but I'm not a boat person and given the recent events it just freaks me out (Yes I know they are all isolated incidents).
While I go daydream about vacation at the gym I will leave you with these pictures of my lazy furbabies haha.

Fishy loves laying on my blanket on the back of the couch. He was actually watching the dog show when I took this. Not sure if he was scared of all the big dogs or just zoned out. :)
Emma has officially given our backyard the big thumbs up. She will lay out there for hours and roll around. Best money spent ever! :)
Have a great day lovelies!
I'm in, lets go on Vacation!! Leave yesterday? I think thats only fair.

I've never been on a vacation... unless you count studying abroad!
ReplyDeleteWe were the same way! Our vacation time was spent visiting family, and rushing from place to place. There was never any relaxing involved. So we changed it up for a real vacation a couple of years ago. Funny thing is that we chose Vegas as our vacation spot. Had I known how close we would have lived to it I would have picked another option. It was such a nice change though!
ReplyDeleteYay for the gym!
I'd like to go to Hawaii. :)
ReplyDeleteMy oldest is in the military and he and his wife are coming here for their vacation next week. Woot! We're not as exciting as Hawaii, but I'm glad they're coming. ;)
Maui is beautiful!! If you're looking for a vacation to remember, St. John is absolutely gorgeous!! You see their beaches in alot of magazines and calendars. Its always fun dreaming up fun and exotic places to visit. We run into the same issue with drill, training, and deployments and having to schedule around them.
ReplyDeleteI have heard good things about St. John! I just want to go anywhere tropical with a beach that I have to fly to get to haha. :)
DeleteWe always turn PCS moves into vacations. Very exciting, I know.
ReplyDeleteWe try to do that but it's hard with pets.
DeleteI really want to go on vacation, too! It's not in the cards for us this year, but hopefully next year. :(
ReplyDeleteHope you guys get to go somewhere awesome! :) I've never been to Maui, but I hear it's so beautiful!
Ugh I would LOVE to go somewhere too! I'm always afraid to book something and then have the Army tell us we can't lol and we are waiting on school for him soooo who knows what I'm doing with my life right now!
ReplyDeleteAll we keep talking about it how we are soooo ready for a vacation right now, I think everyone has the winter blues haha
ReplyDeleteWe need a vacation too! We've never really done anything and even though we are going to DC my parents and Ev are coming. We've been talking about heading to Vegas for a few days when we go home to Utah. Just something to get us out and being a couple again!
ReplyDeleteOh and I hope you go to Maui! We went to Hawaii a few years ago, before we got married and loved it! Maui is our next island we hope!
ReplyDeleteVacations are lovely in many ways, but I admit they can end up stressing me out too. I think I actually prefer the short trips!
ReplyDeleteHave a good day Jen!
Ah I looove Hawaii. I've never been to Maui but it looks beautiful! I'm hoping to get there in August. You should definitely go with Kyle if you can swing it :)
ReplyDeleteMaui is amazing! I would go back in a heartbeat haha. :) You will love it!
DeleteI need a vacation too. I was planning on going to Florida with some friends this year for Spring Break but I've somehow gotten finagled into going to rural Arkansas with my family. Not exactly the vacation I was hoping for.
ReplyDeleteI hope you get to go on a vacation soon too! We went to St. Lucia for our honeymoon and it was GLORIOUS!! I hope to get back for our five year anniversary!
ReplyDeleteI vote cruise!! I've even seen one from LA or San Diego that visits all of the Hawaiian islands. I can't wait to go in two months. It's seriously addicting!
ReplyDeleteWe have yet to be on a vacation together since we have been married. Actually, we haven't even gone on a honeymoon and I think that resort is calling my name!
ReplyDeleteI think you should go on a fabulous vacation and I will live vicariously through yours!
:)
You DEFINITELY deserve a vacation! Hawaii would be wonderful! I vote there!
ReplyDeletei hope you get your much needed vacation too. where ever you go, i know it will be a blast.
ReplyDeleteThat picture of Emma is hilarious...she loves her grass! As far as vacation goes, yep ~ I am right there with you! I want to go on a vacation and we are most likely headed back to Maui this year with Reagan. So excited for her to swim in the ocean!

I have a bit of that "gotta get away" feeling too - someplace that needs an airplane, hopefully by the summer. I've never been to Maui but I've heard amazing things, that sounds like the perfect vacation - I hope you get to go! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm dying for a tropical vacation, I hope you guys get to take one! That resort looks beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI keep trying to get J to take me to Hawaii. I mean come on we live in WA and are so close! Plus I'm tired of all the grey here.
ReplyDeleteWe almost booked an Alaskan cruise in 2011 but ended up doing IVF instead.
I hope you can go on a trip soon!
ReplyDeletewhen we first got married the end of Feb was our vacation time...I needed and wanted a break from everything!!! now we vacation in the summer....and I start planning in Feb!
ReplyDeleteHope you get to Maui soon!

I hope you get your vacation soon! You both work so hard and deserve it! Love the fur baby pictures. So cute!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great vacation spot!
ReplyDeleteI dream of Cancun but not the price tag do I will just search the Internet and dream.
ReplyDeleteI want to go to the Caribbean so bad. I've never been. I've actually never been on a cruise either... Maybe next year ;)
ReplyDeleteWe try to take one good trip a year. So far we have done pretty well at that. This year things maybe a little different for us, but we will try to fit in a couple shorter trips.
ReplyDeleteThis is the time of year where I always feel the need for a vacation, too!
ReplyDeleteDon't forget to enter the giveaway happening at Cotton's Pickins now!
I REALLY want to go on an Alaskan cruise. Without kids. Maybe for our 10 year anniversary. We're a week away from 7 years, so not that much longer!
ReplyDeleteGURL YOU NEED A VACATION! Everyone needs a vacation.
ReplyDeletemm that resort looks ferosh. i need to lay poolside like right now.

Sounds like you do need a vacation!! I have never been to Hawaii but the pics are always so gorgeous! Furbabies are darling!
ReplyDeleteYou do need a vacation! Go somewhere fabulous and exotic and really enjoy yourselves, you deserve it!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely take a vacation! That's why I sent the Starbucks. I escape there when I can't escape to the beach. You deserve a nice vacation too! I recommend planning. That gets me excited and motivated to save money. :) Esther Norine Designs
ReplyDeleteUgh. I want a vacation too, but other than little weekend trips it's going to be awhile before Will has time off :(
