Travelling is a snap for Empty Nesters

Boy, travelling sure is easy when the only schedule you need to consider is your husband's.  It is so easy to pack and go when you are empty-nesters.  Of course it isn't nearly as expensive either.  So off we go.  One of our favorite get aways is the French Lick Resort in French Lick, Indiana.  Yes, very strange name, but what a wonderful weekend getaway.  It is historic because of the natural springs that were believed to have healing qualities near the turn of the century.  Two resorts were built around those springs.  Now they have been renovated and are both opulent yet welcoming and friendly (not the least bit snooty).

So far this year we've visited twice.  So much to do - golf, spa, indoor and outdoor pools, restaurants, on-site bowling, walking, biking, planned activities, an historic tour, carriage rides and a casino.  Here's a link so you can check it out.  http://www.frenchlick.com/

We've been to Chicago over Labor Day weekend for a Cubs baseball game, iconic deep dish pizza, and a show at Second City.  And tonight, we just returned from Michigan City to visit friends, see Lake Michigan, gawk at the lovely lakefront homes and shop at the Lighthouse Outlet Mall.

Next year, we are planning a couple of trips.  One is already booked with my mom, sisters, daughter and niece, the Six Chicks.  We are heading to a Florida beach for a few days.  Then, in recognition of our 30th Anniversary my husband and I are talking about a trip to New York City for baseball, Broadway, deli lunches and dinners with friends. 

We'll probably plan more trips in the meantime.  To that, I'd say...What' next!
