We take several 3 or 4 day trips a year. In July we are taking the kids down to North Myrtle for a week. It is only about a 10 hour drive from our house and It isn't as hot as Florida in the summer.

I'm not much for the vacation thing. If it weren't for the kids I wouldn't do it at all. I would rather spend the a week or two at the golf course.

May 22 thru Aug 10 I am tied up with American Legion Baseball.
This is my 17th year of dong this as a volunteer.
Get to see a lot of good baseball.
These kids play for the love of the game and not the almighty $$.

My field...IT Consulting...Does not allow me take vacations since I just got through 2 months of unemployment due to lack of a contract. But I started a new job today. :D

Unemployment is the worst form of vacation. Good luck with the new job.

$? Who needs that when it's a FAMILY vacation, hahaha. I'm not spending a dime. Not to mention it's the first time I've gone anywhere with the family in... gosh, a couple of years now. So I'm sure I'll be spoiled haha.

That is the way to travel. :lol: Boston is very expensive, but no more so then most of the upper east coast. I'm a history buff and Boston is a very cool city if you interested in that sort of thing.

I'm a history buff... with the exception of the 1600-1800s haha. My history interests date back only as far as about 1939 and proceed until the end of the Vietnam-era. Some older stuff (ancient Chinese history, etc) interests me too.

I've done a ton this summer. I hiked 8 miles down Supai Canyon into the Grand Canyon, took some beautiful pictures, I've got them online, I'll post the website. It's a less known part of the canyon, but worth the grueling hike, and of course you can take a helicopter down there.

Pam and I also went to Sedona, OMG it's so beautiful there.

Then Memorial Day, we drove down to Guaymas/San Carlos, Mexico.


I highly recommend all these places to you.
