How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

I’m Scared…

in Everyday, Travel on 08/20/12

I’m going to do something very scary.

Is it borrowing the beautiful Buick Enclave, loading it up with my two girls, my sister and her babe and high tailing it out of the city for a week? Nope. (and thanks @BuickCanada)

Is it going to a place that even the GPS can’t find?  Seriously, it is not on the GPS!

Nope.

Is it existing under one roof with my Hubby, my kids, my Sister and Brother In Law, their kiddo and my PARENTS??

Nope, that’s why God made wine.

It’s because this week, I will be…

Unplugged

Apparently there are still places in the deep dark Canadian woods where the internet does not reach?  Wish me luck!

(and don’t forget me when I’m gone!)

    Woo hoo - another amazing HomeExchange! This week Woo hoo - another amazing HomeExchange! 
This week we felt all kinds of spoiled in our cozy accommodations in gorgeous Scottsdale. We hiked local trails, snuck in a little golf, drove with the top down, ate all the food, and enjoyed a sweet sunset in our own backyard. All because #Homeexchange provided us with a unique - almost free- way to stay in Arizona and see all the things! 

We had such an amazing time we’re already planning our next adventure!
