Hawaii (yes, this is IFV related!!)

I had this amazing dream last night that we were all in Hawaii (with our DH's too). We were dressed up fancy, like Oscar's style, and getting ready to go on a dinner cruise. Our first stop was some gorgeous mansion where they were serving us champagne.

Hmmm...think I've been on the bump too much lately!!

 How fun though, if we could all take a trip. Where would you want to meet up? I think I vote for Hawaii...or Vegas (that would be fun too!!!)

  • If I was not in savings mode for DE I would go. Although Vegas is not from San Diego right? I will be out that way for DE end of July beginning of Aug! Even in Vegas we could get all dressed fancy and go out!

  • Hawaii would be nice. Maybe one of those all inclusives in Jamaca or somewhere would be better. Then again we just spend 12k today for our IVF. So no trips for us:<
