Tanya's Daily Scoop
NEXT GETAWAY DEPARTS IN: 1 DAY

Another day, Another performance

HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE!

Did I tell you that one of our Doves eggs hatched?
And we now have a new baby bird!

It's actually a funny story how I finally noticed that this little featherless baby was in the cage with pair of love doves.
DC had mentioned to me that we have a new bird - my first thought was that DC was losing his mind and was telling me about the pair that we've had for years!
​I mean this was rather justifiable since he is so darn forgetful. So in my mind I was trying to come up with the best and kindest way to inform him that these birds have been around for a while...when I glanced at the cage and spotted the new baby that DB was referring to!
Hmm - if DB had only known what was going on in my head! LOL

This one doesn't have a name yet.

We never did make it to the stables yesterday, as the logistics just seemed to make more sense for us to go today. So before getting performance ready, that's where Cosette and I will be. Plus I'm sure we'll squeeze in a quick little shopping trip in there as well! Tis the season to boost the economy! lol

And then tomorrow we'll be off on our weekend getaway to San Diego!
​I'm looking quite forward to our annual Christmastime visit that'll be filled with fun festive activities, plenty of Christmas shopping and lots of yummy food!

There's even a chance that my mumsy, Jet, Andrew, and Chaplin might show up on Sunday to join in our the good times.

Speaking of good times, be sure to check out Elisa's column, as she is going into the city today!!
​How much fun is that?!
​NYC at Christmastime is purely magical. I really do wish that we could be there with her and the girls..

IN FACT - according to Conde Nast Traveler out of the 10 Best Dressed Holiday Windows in the World NYC got 3 out of 10!

Something I realized yesterday was that I still hadn't reserved a vehicle for our upcoming winter wonderland ski trip to Colorado; so I got online and began the search - WOWZERS the prices for the time of our trip are beyond OUTRAGEOUS!
Well the vehicle is now booked. But I'm definitely not happy with the prices that I found.

Another thing that I noticed is that Dave is only booked to come to join us on the first and last weekend of the trip, but not the middle one...
​So I inquired with him if he wants to spend a third weekend in Colorado with us. I think he does!!

Meanwhile I've been working on plenty of other exciting travel plans - which I'll go into detail with you on Travelin' Tuesday :)

It's time for me to hit the road and sign off.

I'll be back tomorrow - hope to see you!

NEXT TRIP DEPARTS IN: 14 DAYS

Good Day for New York City

Well..HELLO THERE!!!
Friday finally and so excited to see sunshine!

Best of all, I'll be heading into New York City later today.  There is nothing better than The Big Apple at Christmastime.  I dare you to come up with something better lol.

This morning has been quite a whirlwind!  After dropping the kids off at school, I ran over to the doctor to get a quick check up because I have had an ear ache for the past few days.

Sure enough...I have a slight ear infection.  

Then I had to hit the post office; then the pharmacy to pick up my antibiotic and then back to the school to pick up the girls.

From there, we had a very nice, relaxing lunch at Rustica.  By this point, I was exhausted!  My last step was to the nail salon to get a much-needed manicure. 

So, now I'm sitting here finishing up my blog. 

I'm so grateful that the weather is so mild and gorgeous out.  We'll be hopping on a train mid-afternoon, which will get us into NYC early evening.  

Although I hate when it gets darker earlier this time of year, I think it will be working to our advantage since we will see everything all lit up for Christmas.

Well, guys, sorry this is a short one, but it's just one of those days!!

Happy Friday!!
