Spring Break 09!

Zac and I are going on our first real trip together as a couple this spring break!! (Corpus Christi doesn't count!) We have both flown since getting married, but never together. We booked our flights today and we are going to....(drumroll, please).......Seattle and Portland! :) We are so super excited. We had been talking about wanting to go just this weekend with my mom. Everything fell in to place perfectly, and it seems that it is fate that we are going on this trip. We were originally supposed to be going to Spain/Europe this summer, but that has been put off to next summer 2010, when I have actually been working for a year, so we have more moolah. So this trip is a nice little baby step leading up to our big trip next summer! :)
You might be wandering "Why Portland/Seattle?" Well, my friends, have no fear. I have prepared a David Letterman style list for that...

Top Ten Reasons we're Visiting the Northwest Coast:
10. Southwest Airlines was running a special, 50% flights to Seattle.
9. Zac loves Sleepless in Seattle, and I like Jason, The Bachelor from Seattle.
8. The trees and mountains are supposed to be amazing!

7. If something happens to us, we can meet the doctors of Seattle Grace Hospital. (paging McDreamy...paging McSteamy...stat!)
6. Space Needle, anyone?

5. It is near the place where Bella fell in love with Edward, therefore obviously romantic. (And full of diamond skinned Vampires! That is two reasons, really!)

4. We get to see Uncle Bill, who lives in Kent, right outside of Seattle. If you were at our wedding, there is NO way you forgot Uncle Bill. :)

3. I was awarded extra scholarship money for my good grades (3.9 GPA, big balla!) and we thouught a trip would be more fun than a new piece of furniture.
2. Did I mention Twilight? Probably not enough.
AND, Ladies and Gentlemen, the number one reason we are taking and so excited about this trip...
1. We get to stay with Zac's awesome cousin Luke, and his equally amazing wife Kayla!! :)
