William gave me plane tickets...to go to Colorado Springs in April!! We had coupons for the tickets, and the boss is kicking in for the rental car!

I get to my son and grandsons for the first time in 3 years!! I also get to see my friend Diane again...I haven't seen her since 1998! We'll be staying with Diane...so savings there...

I'm so excited!!

that is wonderful

Ellie'sNana 02-06-2011 06:43 AM

I am very excited for you! I know what it is like to not see your family for a while. I haven't seen my son, DDIL, and 3 grandchildren in three years also. They live in Kodiak, AK. I am praying for the opportunity to go in July. Just waiting for a good price on plane fare. Enjoy your family and your friend!

stichinluvr 02-06-2011 06:49 AM

WOW! ! ! What an awesome DH. Have lots of fun. I know you will!

letsquilt 02-06-2011 06:52 AM

Im excited for you, it is always fun to see family and good friends.

Charlee 02-06-2011 06:54 AM

Thanks everyone! He really did give me a GREAT gift!! When he suggested the trip, I immediately started in on him! "How can we afford this?" For every question I had, he had an answer...the flight is free due to him getting bumped once last year when he moved a customer for work. The boss is springing for the car. Staying with Diane saves us motel bills. I was floored. Totally. :) About the only thing it will cost is gas for the car, and some meals and he's even got that figured out with gift cards that we have! His mom will watch Chip for us...
I'm a happy camper!! C'mon April! :lol:

tryitall 02-06-2011 07:08 AM

That is just Fantastic!! Enjoy!

Moon Holiday 02-06-2011 07:40 AM

Colorado Springs is gorgeous any time of the year, but to see your son and grandson also - outstanding!

If you have time while you're here you might check out Ruth's Stitchery on Austin Bluffs between Academy Blvd & Powers (closer to Academy). They are really nice in there and there are some beautiful quilts on the walls.
