Tracey suddenly discovered the first week in June might be the best time for her to take a week vacation as she will finally be well staffed then. I say we should go for it but we don’t really have a clue where, if anywhere, we would like to (afford to) go. Also it would depend on where the boys would be willing to go to. Obviously driving would probably be cheaper for the 4 of us and then again, depending on where we would go, we may not have time to drive. Decisions, decisions and so little time to decide! Tracey spent an hour or so on the Internets last evening but didn’t find much. She asked me what I thought about “historic Williamsburg” but it sounds a bit like a tourist trap to me. I don’t know. Guess I will have to think on it. Think fast!

We’re in the same boat over here...vacation time has been reserved, but where to go? Well, we all have a destination that we’d like -- Alaska -- but by the time we’d pay for airline tickets, we’d be broke! We have been looking at Tybee Island near Savannah, GA or Myrtle Beach. Myrtle Beach is such a tourist trap! We thought we would then drive over to Jackie’s and stay for a few days too. Originally we were thinking about a cruise. Then we watched a free video from Princess cruises and decided that really wasn’t for us. I should rephrase that: Andy, Dave and I didn’t jump up and down over a cruise. We liked all the stuff to do OFF the ship. Boy, the Disney vacation spoiled me!

I’d really like to go to the Gulf of Mexico. I’ve never been there. Or maybe Atlanta. I’ve heard it’s really cool. The mountains in TN are always nice. Of course, I have no vacation coming up, so this is all just idle prattle on my part! Jennifer

Tammy ——> We were so spoiled by Wally World we have thought about taking another trip but thought it would too crowded and hot this time of year —— not completely out of the running though. Tracey wants nothing to do with a cruise ship!
Jennifer ——> All good choices! I’m thinking the TN mountains sound like a real good choice. I will have to do some Internet searching to see what and where! My heart is in the Rockie Mountains of Colorado and / or Yellowstone park, but we have been there a couple times each and the rest of the family would like something different I think.

I would recomend Dollywood in Tennessee. It is all based in the mountains so you can visit the town and then drive to the top of the mountain. Mom and I did it in 3 days but wished we had 5 days. Oh did I mention there over 60 restruants and food stands to “enjoy”! I would recomend this area if you like to travel and see all the great sights.
