Plans are finally finally set for this anniversary. This 7th 7/17 :-). I wanted to do something special… something different from our small anniversary outings (a few picnics in the park, a jazz show, lots of dinners, maybe a movie, BROADWAY/Bubba Gump Shrimp was AWESOME! so was the one in AC (when the pier was brand new)… but still :-P). So what evolved from “let’s go camping so we can bring Hugo” became “let’s stay at this amazing bed and breakfast!!” and then Hugo got sick and he couldn’t get his boosters so camping was out and then our budget was $200 lower (vets are expensive, man…) so the really nice B&B was out, then we would have gone to a less amazing, but still cute (and cheaper) inn, but this was of course the weekend before and so EVERYWHERE was booked except for cabins in campsites which again, Hugo couldn’t go to. And we weren’t about to leave our Huggo :-):

So, preview for the actual weekend to come (if no other craziness comes!)

:

Friday day: Drive to Lambertville/New Hope <3. This one was my choice… with this historic inns and picturesque river and valleys, and antique shopping and quaint bookstores and outdoor cafes and wineries and… yeah. Used restaurant.com for that $25 gift certificate for a dog-friendly indoor/outdoor restaurant that I’ve heard great things about! May or may not go to the botanical gardens.

Friday night: Will drive to Philly after we can’t deal with the heat any more. Grab a cheesesteak at Pat’s (This one was PJ’s choice). Hopefully Hugo will be knocked out and won’t mind us going out at night ;-). Staying at a pet-friendly hotel in Center City.

Saturday morning: Anything else we want to see in Philly I want to knock out in the morning because we can check into our next room at 3pm!

Saturday afternoon - Sunday evening: Staying right near the Delaware Water Gap/Appalachian trail. I have to walk the trail a bit, Hugo has to learn to be a hiking dog, lol (it should be a little cooler up there on Sunday but not much lol) looking forward to this change of scenery, a little escape not too far from home :-)

And by then, I’m sure I’ll be out of the money saved for this mini-vacation and we’ll head home fulfilled. :-). That’s the plan… though it probably will not be this easy. 

:-). I can’t wait! It’s never been just the three of us.

Here’s to our first family vacation! :-D
