Vacations

[Lindsey]

Great avatar picture Betsi!

I've got no holidays planned for this summer, other than my friend's bachelorette party in Edmonton and her wedding, which will be in June. I'm going to do some weekend trips, like going out to camp with my friend who works at a golf course during the summer. I'll be doing quite a few trips home on weekends to work on the cabin. I was going to go to Pincher Creek, Alberta, for a family thing we do every year (it switched locations yearly) but just like last year, it's on the same weekend as the Dragon Boat Festival here. I had way too much fun in the races last year to miss it!
I kind of wanted to go to Vancouver for my birthday weekend (probably take a Friday and Monday off) since I've never been there, but I think I'm going to save my money and holidays for Europe in the fall! I guess I'll see what Scott decides to do for my birthday weekend, because I've dropped a few hints!

Lindsay, I hope you get to go to Vancouver for your birthday. I think you would love it there. It's such a beautiful and unique city. I've been there twice, and spent 5 days there once for a conference. I want to go back again. Vancouver and Victoria Island are two of my most memorable vacation spots!

Hi Pretty Woman, Betsi! It's a wonderful picture, and you are beautiful.

I'm going to explore my area this summer. Since this area is so beautiful, it is a vacation destination, and there are a lot of things going on all year round. I also have a pool in the condo, so I'll be laying there on my chair and swimming a lot. I love doing that.

I still feel like I am always on vacation, living here. I can't believe I live in the country. It was my dream!

The kids have been asking what we're doing for vacation and they're wanting to either go canoeing in Missouri or go 4-wheeling in the mountains. Amy and Jason are going to Pennsylvania to visit Jason's mother and his other family. Then they're going to Washington, DC. I keep hinting that I want to go too!!! :sad: But they're not taking the hints. I don't know if I could ride in the car that long with their girls anyway!!!

Sounds like there are some fun summers planned!

I told Scott this morning that I think I would like to go somewhere for my birthday weekend. We looked at flights and hotels in Vancouver, and then flights and hotels in Vegas Vegas was cheaper I asked my cousin if she'd go with some friends, and I asked my brother to go, and I can ask some more of my friends but so far it's a huge yes! I'm not a gambler but I would love to see some shows and go shopping!

OH VEGAS is WAY COOL TOOOOO!!! YAY! You can't lose with either Vegas or Vancouver. I dont' gamble either, can't stand the smoke in the casinos (although there are some smoke free ones). But the people, stores, casinos and the like are all so INTERESTING!!!

We plan on taking many trips this year...not to far probably,with the economy the way it is and me losing my job, we will have to stay local but, that is ok...as least we will be camping...Planning on going to Maine with it...I LOVE Maine!

Brenda I love camping, just haven't done it for awhile. I've been looking for used motorhomes (as if we could afford one). I did go to an auction this past Saturday and looked at a camper, but it was so small. I'm not one to give up too easily so I'll keep looking.

Brenda, we've been known to take our travel trailer to a little park just about 10 miles from our home, on the outskirts of the city - just to get out of town. Sometimes we go 1500 miles, sometimes we go 50 miles, but we always have a great time! In only 3 weeks we'll be going to Arkansas (about 500 miles away) for a couple of weeks!
