Traveling in baby steps

I usually just go to work and back home. BORING!!!! I defiantly want to vacation out of the country but for now I need to take baby steps. My first step is to simply get out of the house on weekends and go far enough away that I feel like its an all day event. So my first all day outing will be at Victoria Gardens.  It's an out door mall that has restaurants, shops, and a nice sitting area. I am going to do my best to set it up for this coming weekend but money is funny and change is strange.
