$200.98

Travis and I have recently been starting jogging pretty much daily. After a couple of weeks of aching legs and feet, we decided that we needed to buy some good running shoes. I, being the queen of cheap, knew that I wasn't going to spend much on my shoes. I just wanted something more comfortable. Well, Travis decided to go and get these shoes himself. (probably so he wouldn't have to spend forever going store to store looking for the best deal.) He walks right in the store, studies his options and makes the purchase. And of course, what would new shoes be without brand new socks to go with them. So he gets his and mine- without my foot present- and the socks for both of us. So when I check the bank account to see how much he spent, I about fell out of my chair. $200.98. His response was "It's not that much."I would have never spent that on running shoes. But I bet my feet feel good this afternoon. Crazy boy!

Oh, and the shoes do fit!

Carnival Fantasy....here we come.....again!!

We've planned a trip for our first anniversary....we are going on the same cruise we went on for our honeymoon...it does make a different stop one day. So we'll be going to Progresso, Yucatan and back to beautiful Cozumel!

(Carnival Fantasy docked in New Orleans)

It is cheaper to fly than it is to drive...$399 round trip for both of us total! So, we have booked the flight....June 22, 2008 at 7:40 AM to New Orleans and our cruise leaves the 23rd at 4:00....so we will have a day and a half in New Orleans....anyone know of anything fun to do there? We visited an aquarium last time and saw a 3D movie there....but we want something different to do.




We were able to get the same room we had last time- perfect location- on the main floor, big picture window, first room in the hall! All that's left to do now is find a hotel in New Orleans that doesn't cost a ton! Last time we were able to stay at the JW Marriott- it was an extremely nice hotel- found it on a 24 hour sale on hotels.com for only $65 a night! Very comfortable and had a great view!!! Now it's $169 a night...I'm holding out for a sale...if anyone sees anything nice and cheap....let me know!! Or if you know where I can book a nice and cheap hotel room- please let me know!!



We can't wait!!! If you ever get the chance....you should definately go on a cruise...it is amazing...and cheap when you consider everything is practically paid for before you leave! So if you know of fun things to do in New Orleans....let us know!!
