Tanya's Daily Scoop
NEXT TRIP DEPARTS IN: 9 DAYS

W2GW: Easter Weekend

Well Helloooooo there!

I woke up to the wind blowing like crazy here in SoCal...
NBC reports: Southern Californians are in for another blustery day Wednesday with forecasters predicting winds strong enough to topple over big rigs on the highway and waves 9 feet high at the beach. 

I'm quite sure that their idea about blustery weather is a far cry from blustery weather anywhere else in the country (maybe with the exception of Florida and Hawaii) LOL.

Anyhow, on the subject of weather and with weather in mind, Spring has definitely sprung, and in SoCal that means HOT weather, with most of the days being in the 70s-80s.
And while I don't mind the low 70s all that much, once the temps start creeping into the mid then upper 70s and then the 80s it is already too HOT for me!

Another thing that the change in seasons means is me switching out our seasonal clothing, because who on earth wants to be wearing pants, sweaters, and boots in these temps?!

So although yesterday was really not all that exciting, it was productive and I got lots of work done - does it look like I did - NOPE. But I did. There is definitely more to do, but I made some headway.

And while doing so, I came across items that I even forgot that I own! LOLOLOLOL

Yes folks, that's me I'm the type of gal who buys things that I NEED to have, then I forget that I have them and then down the road I find them again and it's like a big surprise for me!

So, in coming across some of these items, I had already started planning what to pack for our Europe trip! 
Today I'll be heading out to some more stores and if all goes well I'll be buying some more things to go on that trip.

In the meantime however I was also working on a couple of other trips:
  • The 2017 MLB All-Star Game Trip & Cruise to the Western Caribbean

In doing so, I also found out that the 2018 MLB All-Star Game is going to be in Washington DC....you know I'll be there and I'll be making a BIG trip of it!

The other trip that I've been looking at is:
  • This July's Crested Butte mountain biking trip, but at this point I'm going back and forth about it.

​I've left it to Dave B. to decide on going there or go mountain biking in Mount Hood, Oregon.​
​Both I'm certain with have beautiful terrain and be lots of fun!!

I'll be working on these and get back to you with updates next week on Travelin' Tuesday!

While today happens to be W2GW do you know what else today is???
Picture
TODAY IS NATIONAL PUPPY DAY!
National Puppy Day is a special day to celebrate the magic and unconditional love that puppies bring to our lives. But more importantly, it's a day to help save orphaned puppies across the globe and educate the public about the horrors of puppy mills.
​
​On that note here are some things for this coming weekend and this weeks edition of W2GW:

CURRENTLY TRAVELING IN: FLORIDA

W2GW: Theatre, Movies & Baseball and Puppies

HI THERE FOLKS!! Happy National Puppy Day!

Another lovely day in paradise, here in South Florida.  

I'm coming to you from yet again, Starbucks, only today, it's in Boca Raton, not Long Island.

3 OF THE COUSINS TOGETHER THIS MORNING
With Danielle arriving yesterday, the four cousins were together and wasted no time hanging out and catching up. 

They were up bright and early beginning their day.

That's the upside.  The downside is that with Nolan and Julian now in Florida, the girls decided to spend the boys' first day hanging out together, instead of going to the Palm Springs International Equestrian Center to see their friend Daphne ride.

It would have required getting up super early and heading to Wellington (half hour ride).  So, since the show will be going on until Saturday, we rescheduled to the weekend.

Today will be a day of swimming and relaxation.

I will say, as far as tomorrow goes, I will NOT alter my plans at all - I will be heading ton Fort Lauderdale, with or without anyone and everyone to see the "National Parks"  IMAX show!!

KELSEY WITH BABY MIKEY IN THE STROLLER
Picture
Yesterday, I headed over to the Boca Town Center Mall to get a few necessities from the Apple Store. (BTW - I dropped $120 on a much-needed charger and MacBook protective cover!)

I had planned to just run over - in and out - and get back home.  Kelsey had something else in mind...she wanted to join me and bring her new little friend, "Mikey" in his doggie stroller.

Boy, did she garner a great deal of attention!!

She had a blast!
Picture
Today will be a relaxing day!  Hanging out by the pool - watching the kids play in the pool and taking a dip myself!
