Just Like Dirty Dancing

Next weekend, O, myself, my best friend and her husband (plus our dog) are all going on a little mini getaway to the Poconos. 'Member the Poconos? Known in the '80's for swanky honeymoon suites with tubs shaped like wine glasses. It's where Baby met Johnny. And where they danced.

Well, lucky for me, a wonderful long-time friend of ours has a home in a residential community inside one of the resorts up in those beautiful mountains and we're using her place for our little retreat. There will be wine tours, brewery tours (gotta keep the boys happy) and a festival that celebrates the foliage in the area. Tiny towns, postcard scenery, wildlife, and some of my favorite things about fall: firepits, fireplaces, cozy meals and warm sweaters, and that satisfying crunch of leaves beneath really cute boots.

I know it's been a while since I've posted. Remember that burn I got about a month ago? It's finally healed and I'm wearing normal clothes again. Hopefully I'll get back on the bandwagon with outfits soon. For sure there will be posts from the mountains.

In other news, in just about a month we have yet another trip planned. We, plus our other very close couple friends, are going to Mexico for a week of relaxing and playing in the sand. I'm very excited! I've only been out of the States once, when I went to Italy with my brother last fall, so I'm hoping that this will be just as great, albeit totally different. PS. I've been mentally packing for that trip for about 2 months ... I've narrowed it down to about 15 outfits for the 7 nights we'll be there (when I know for a fact I'll be in a bathing suit about 90% of the time). Ah well.
