Trip Planning
Lauren and I haven’t gone anywhere for a vacation since Paris in March. That’s 8 months! Knowing that we have a long, relaxing Winter Break (ah, the perks of student life), we’ve been thinking about getting away. While Europe is obviously where we’d like to be, a domestic vacation seems in order, as we’ve really never had one of those (besides visiting friends in Colorado, in July 2007). In the spirit of patriotism, we’ve settled on Washington D.C.! It has the splendor (and fine public transport) of a big city, with lots of indoor entertainment (vital, as we’ll be there in January).
Prices could not get any lower, either. Purchasing flight and hotel together, we can stay in a nice hotel mere blocks from key destinations and fly directly from Madison to Reagan International for $515 per person. How is that even possible? We’re planning to buy our tickets tonight.
We’re also planning to head down to Chicago next Saturday. While I was just there a few weeks ago, chilling with Dan, Woodie, and Anthony, this time will be focused on touristy things. Perhaps an art museum? Or an aquarium? Or something else noteworthy? Who knows. Most importantly, it will be the first time that Lauren has met Anthony. How is it possible that they haven’t met yet? I have no idea.
In other news, there’re two volleyball games this weekend. Tonight, the Badgers will crush Minnesota. And on Sunday, they’ll decimate Iowa. Actually, the Minnesota game is likely to be tough. I have faith in the Badgers though. This is a must win if they are going to make the NCAA tournament this year. It should be fun, no matter the outcome.
