The Girls Plan A Getaway

It’s early in the planning stages, but the Aunties and Cousins are planning an All-Female getaway in July 2008.

It goes without saying that trips like these are a good and necessary thing. They build and strengthen ties, allow people to catch up on how life is for everyone else, and the trip can be relaxation away from the usual hubbub of every day life.

Of course, that’s not the primary reason for the trip next summer.

It comes at a time just before Leah’s wedding. And a better time could scarcely be found for the getaway. This gives the Women of our family a chance to get together and share advice, experience, and wisdom learned from one generation to another. The exchange of knowledge will surely be great. It is a special thing for the Aunties and Cousins to do with and for Leah as she becomes a bride and builds the foundations of her own family.

Thus far, either stays at the Chumash Resort near Santa Barbara’s numerous wineries, or somewhere close to the heart of California’s Wine Country in Napa Valley have been tossed around for consideration. Nothing is definite yet.

There is still time. But don’t wait too long or places will be booked by the summer tourists.

In any case, to everyone going: enjoy!
