Hi...good question. We (DH & I) will be taking our grandson to Wisconsin Dells in July. We are under 4 hrs. from there. We took him last year and all 3 of us had a blast. So...we are looking forward to going again this year. We did have another long weekend planned just for the 2 of us but decided to cancel that and add an extra day to the WD trip. As for the rest of the summer we will make a trip up north to visit our younger son and daughter-in-law and also plan on just relaxing and enjoying the yard we have worked so hard on.

I already went on my vacation - so I guess it was more of a spring vacation than a summer one. I probably won't get any time off for the rest of the summer, but I would LOVE to take a long weekend in August/September and go home. I haven't been back in almost a year.

Oh! I almost forgot, my mom and sister are coming up next weekend for a long weekend. I'm going to try and swing it so that I can take next Friday off and if my luck is holding out, I'm even going to try to beg my way into working 7-3:30 on Thursday.

Other than those two possible long weekends, my summer will be spent at work. I'd be more broken up about it, but I'm to busy planning a 2-3 week vacation to Europe next year!



Past Races:
-Boston Run to Remember Half Marathon, 5/29/11 (2:35:11, no training!)
-Corporate Run, 3.5 miles 6/2/11 (36:38, 4 days after running the half!)
-BAA 10k, 6/26/11 (1:04:52, wanted to be under an hour...)
-Tavern to Tavern

We leave for Vegas next Monday thru Friday. Technically its a work trip for dh, but I will get to shop, lay by the pool, etc. during the day - then we are mostly on our own at night. Plan to eat at some nice restaurants, hit some dance clubs, etc. The kids are going to camp while we are gone.

Then in July we are going to Jamaica for our 10th anniversary. We're staying at an all-inclusive resort in Ocho Rios for a week. The kids are flying out CA to stay with my mother in law and visit with my dad while we are gone (their first time flying alone! I'm a bit nervous about that!)

We haven't had a real vacation ever as a couple (we had a 3 day weekend trip to Tahoe 3 years ago - that is the ONLY "trip" we've EVER been on, never even went on a vacation before we had kids, never had a honeymoon, etc.) So to have TWO trips in one summer is like so amazingly crazy to me! I'm getting pretty excited that we leave for the first one in less than a week!

Hooray for finally getting away with DH! We are the same way--our 2 days in Chicago last summer was the first and only time we've gotten away since DD was born 7 years ago!


I'll be curious to hear about Jamaica. My DH wants to do something like that, probably for our 10th next year, too. He has a friend who has gone several times and keeps recommending it.


Have fun! I'm sure the kids will *love* the plane ride to CA!

We're leaving on a driving trip out West on July 11th. I'm leaving most of the details/maps/route to DH, but we'll be driving straight to Williams, AZ to ride the train into the Grand Canyon, spend the night there and ride the train back to Williams the next day. After that, it's California, here we come!!! We'll be going to the San Diego Zoo and a few theme parks, spending several days in the LA area. We should be back on/around July 31st and then the next week, DH and I make a trip down to the Gulf for business conference for a few days. A busy summer coming up for us!!!

We just returned from 8 days on the Mendocino coast (about 3+ hours north of San Francisco), where we rented a beautiful house overlooking the ocean and a river. It was quite relaxing. In August, we are going to the Monterey Historic Races for 4 days and staying in an inn in Pacific Grove. DH picks that trip every year for his birthday; this time, another couple will be joining us. We are hoping squeeze in another long weekend in July to go to Victoria or perhaps just back to Mendocino, but I am not sure that I'll be able to get the time away from work.

Well, we were supposed to take the kids to Disney world in May but that had to be postponed until next year.
