Well the taxes are all done and me not so happy. I didn’t get as much back from Federal as I got last year, and I actually have to pay the State (albeit $2, but still). :p I guess it’s just a difference of getting the money before instead of after since I claimed “1” this year as opposed to “0”.<\/p>\n

However, Joe is getting a nice return AND a lovely bonus from work. So we’re going to pay off my car, save some more money, and also go on vacation. Nothing huge, but a couple of short road trips and maybe a longer one. For the latter we were considering Colorado as the destination, but we’re not sure. We want some place we can drive to within a day or so, and has something really fun to do once we get there. We’ve never been to Colorado before, so I think it would be cool. <\/p>\n

We’re up to suggestions, however. Just nothing more than 1000 miles from Chicago, please. Oh, and none of the states in red below as we’ve already been there, done that. :)<\/p>\n
