The economy isn't affecting our plans at all. I'm skipping town with my wife and newborn and we're headed for the sun and beach. The really satisfying thing is our flight and hotel are both covered by credit card rewards points. Really makes the trip so much more enjoyable when we have no out of pocket expenses other than food! It's usually raining in Seattle on the 4th anyway, but it looks like the weather will actually be nice this year now that we're gone...figures.
