What are your Summer Plans?

[misty]

Summer's almost here & I just thought it'd be fun to compare what vacation plans we all have.

As for me, My hubby & Daughter will go camping for a week & I'll stay home in a blissfully quiet house!

We are going to the Cape, a week from Thursday!!! Oh, you don't know how much I need a vacation. Woohoo!

[Tigger]

We are not doing anything at all But we are talking about camping. I dont see us going, we talk about it every year so I know we are not going

[puzzled]

We have tickets to Cedar Point on June 30th....discount tickets from a friend whose hubby works at a factory that offers them....Chelsea will go with me to help corral the boys.

Tigger, I feel your pain! Every year, my hubby and I 'talk' about doing something as a family. Camping, a weekend trip somewhere, whatever....and every year it doesn't happen! He just cannot drag himself away from his businesses. Part of that is that he would have to leave the businesses in the hands of his not so competent brother, partly it is his workaholic nature......but it is frustrating, I know! This has been going on for almost 28 years for me......

I end up taking the boys to Cedar Point, just to do something, and as you other mom's know, that is not much of a vacation for us! Too worried about sunburn, keeping track of the kids, walking, waiting in line......you need a vacation when you get back home. It is only a few hours from me, but still a drive, at least this time I will have Chelsea to help out with that.

My husband and I are talking about going to the Bahamas again. NO KIDS ALLOWED. That's not a vacation it's just the same aggravation in a different place.

I'm sure we will be going to at least one historical place, hopefully more.

We also will most likely go camping. Of course, I may just opt out and let my son go with my brother so I have some quiet time alone while dh is out on the truck. I love the peace of being out in what seems like the middle of nowhere though, so I'll at least go spend some time there during the day.

We have a couple of "Mini" vacations planned for the summer. In two weeks were going to Petoskey, Michigan to veg out on the beaches of Lake Michigan for four days.

The last weekend in June we're going up to my sister's lake house with my entire side of my family. We do it every year and have such a blast. Sunning, boating, tubing, eating everything we can see...just great fun.

In July we're going to Michigan Adventures. Its a really small theme park and water park combined, but I love it. The water park is awesome and we go every year with my sister and her family.

And finally...the week I will be dreading...ok, not toally dreading, but kinda. In August my lovely husband and son have planned for us to go to the Upper Pennisula for a week. If you know anything about Michigan's UP, it is nothing but forest. I'm sure it will be beautiful, but their going to make me fish, hike, and who knows what. We are just taking a week and not making any reservations...just flying by the seat of our pants and falling where we land. I like that part of it, just going and not knowing exactly where we'll be, but I know those two, they'll have me in woods hunting for bear before its over with! Hee Hee!

We are sure to hit the beach this summer! Bradford beach at lake michagan. I only live 30min from it! HE HE! I live near milwaukee in Wisconsin! We went to a lkite flying thing there last weekend and ds loved it! They had some really hudge kites!They have events all summer that are Free! So I'm sure we wil be there alot!

We also go to the cottage every labor day. Its our end of the summer bash with dh side of the family. Luckly they are the ones I like! We go for the weekend and its a blast! I alway look forward to it but at the same time it is sad cause that means summer vac. is over! But we sure end it with a bang!

I am going to try to convince dh to go camping this year! But its doughfull it will happen! (At the cottage its only a hour from home!) the kids would love it!

We are going to the beach in July and August. We will try to do at least a weekend camping trip over the summer. We are going to DC next weekend for the day.

Bugs, you had me cracking up! Be sure and get some pics of that bear, LOL. We are probably going to drive to Virgina and go to Bush Gardens. My daughter has never been there and I know she will really like it. We'll probably do day trips to the beach too over the summer. I am so looking forward to it.
