When I was a little girl my parents called me Mouse. It was a nickname that my Dad came up with when I was a newborn. He said it was because of my long brown hair and how small I was in size. Over the years my parents would buy me little mouse figurines and books to add to my growing collection. One of my favorites was my Little Golden Book titled, "The Country Mouse and The City Mouse" which told the tale of two mice who lived in very different areas and took turns visiting one another.
I grew up much like the Country Mouse. I was born in Oklahoma and then moved to the mountains of Colorado when I was 14. When I was 22 I moved to the east coast and still managed to find relatively small communities in which to live. I've been into Baltimore and Washington DC less than a dozen times in the past 15 years. Clearly this mouse likes her places small and cozy.
But that is all about to change!
Tomorrow this Country Mouse is headed to New York City!!
This will be my very first time visiting New York City and I'll be meeting up with my blog & Twitter friend Veronica Diaz (AKA: The City Mouse). Veronica was raised in the city and returns numerous times each year and when she invited me to join her I jumped at the opportunity. We have a list of sights to see and we're both giddy over the 3 day girl's weekend.
Best of all is our plan to live tweet our adventures using the #NYCVirgin hashtag. I hope you'll follow along and interact with us via Twitter and check out my pics I'll be taking via Instagram!
Look out NYC...this Country Mouse is on her way!!!
