Great Inexpensive Vacation Get Away!

I want to share with everyone the wonderful weekend vacation I have planned for the 4ht of July! I, like most of you I'm assuming, feel like the price of gas has placed a limit on my vacation opportunities.

Well, I'm not happy about it, so I did some research and I found a way to vacation without giving my money to gas conglomerates! This weekend I'm going to Philadelphia Premium Outlets!! I'm staying at the Comfort Inn and because it's teamed up with PPO I get a $25 gift card to the outlets! So the first 25 dollars I spend is completely on the outlets!

PPO is about 45 minutes northwest of Philadelphia so it's really close and it won't cost me a lot to get there. They have extended hours and additional savings for the holiday!! They already offer 25-65% off designer clothes and bags so I'm going to get great deals this weekend. They have about 150 stores so it's perfect that I'm giving myself the entire weekend to veg out at the hotel and shop at my own pace. It's going to feel so good to spend my money on things I can have for the next 5 years rather than spend my money on a plan trip far away.

On Saturday and Sunday PPO has entertainment in food court area. They have classic rock and oldies and they are featuring an acoustic guitar player and vocalist. I'm going to hear live music while I spend my money wisely this weekend! I'm so excited to celebrate the holiday and I'm not going to feel an ounce of guilt about it! Sorry, I coudn't resist the chance to tell everyone about this. If you don't decide to follow me have a great 4th of July!
