My name is Jenn, and I'm a 27 year old married and babied chick. In addition to a husband, a seven year old daughter, and a five year old autistic son, I also have four cats, three hermit crabs, two frogs, a few fish, and one snorty little Pug. I work from home doing a variety of writing and even some web design. I love blogging, digital photography and web design.

We’re leaving for Pittsburgh sometime between February 14th (Thursday) and February 15th (Friday), and returning on Monday, February 19th (probably later in the evening). We’ve got the one basic requirement taken care of: money. Our tax return is due back to us on February 8th, which is a full week before our weekend trip. 
Other things we’re working on:
- Planning out our drive there (250 miles)
- Finding a hotel (I swear, the prices I’m finding are rivaling those of Las Vegas hotels!)
- Planning out what to do in Pittsburgh
- Food? Eat at the hotel and at restaurants? Bring some stuff with us? Buy stuff at a grocery store
- When to come home
I can’t wait until February 15th!!!
I love planning trips. I like to try to plan in advance so I can have time to look at the best, cheapest hotels, the best restaurants, attractions, etc. I don’t like to plan every second of the trip out, but I like to write down options and ideas just in case I’m looking for some while there. You can also go online and find ratings for restaurants/hotels, etc and see what others recommend.
