Where is Everyone Going
Where is everyone going this summer? We are staying close to home. We will be in Ocean City, NJ for the month of August. Is anyone going anywhere exciting? Somewhere you have always wanted to go and haven't had the chance unitl now. Maybe a place you are really excited to visit?

We're doing WDW this year() and our usual homage to Myrtle Beach to my mothers. But the trip I'm most excited about is one of my older DS school science trips to Yellowstone & Jackson Hole. Though not excited about flying across contry with 12 teenagers (10 of them boys) I am excited about the trip itself. Almost more than WDW!!!!

Jojo, this is where we are looking into for the summer of 2012. I am really excited for you. It looks like a really interesting place!

We need ideas!
We aren't doing Disney this summer, since we were just there in January, so we're trying to decide where to do.
DD really wants to see New York, but otherwise we're a bit stuck. (has to be 12 hours or less from Toronto - ideally!).
I look forward to hearing where everyone else is going.

I'll have to forward you some pic when we get back. Most of our trip is educational since it is with the school, but this also assures I can see many things less touristy and more intriguing, maybe some lesser known things about the park. We'll be white water rafting down the Snake River, a tram tour in Jackson Hole to the higher elevations (10,000 ft elevation) of the Grand Tetons. I am soooo excited! You'll love it I'm sure.

Heather, I'm not sure if it is within 12 hours or not or if your family would like this kind of thing but we had a really good time in Salem, MA. There are so many fun things to do there.
Many, many witch related museums, reinactments, a pirate musuem, historic building tours, very old cementary, trolly tours. The walking tour is very much like Boston's Freedom Trail. Lines are drawn on the sidewalks.
We stayed three days and on that trip also hit Newport, Rhode Island and toured the mansions for two days. You can't even imagine these places until you see them. Cliff Walk is a beautiful walk. One of the mansions has actors in character. It was alot of fun for us.
You could also throw Boston in, but I think you have already been there. I think the same time we were??????

I would love to see them! In everything I have read, most tourist only venture into a very small percentage of the park. Some of the most interested things are never seen. Having a guide who knows the park inside and out is a real advantage.

We are doing a few small trips close to home this summer. For the last 3 summers we've done WDW as one of our summer trips (then sometimes another summer trip to another place), so it'll be hard to have a summer with no WDW fun, but my family doesn't feel like doing lots of traveling this summer. WDW is a 12 hour drive for us and my hubby and kids don't want that long drive this summer. Plus we were just there in March!
Our plans are to visit San Antonio with a side trip to Galveston Beach on the way home, visit a water park that's only an hour away from home that my kids have never been to spending the weekend there, DH wants to do a camping trip, perhaps a weekend to one of the gulf coast beaches, and a weekend getaway to Lake Conroe Texas and the Woodlands Resort near Houston. We also just did a weekend in New Orleans and will probably make our way back there sometime between now and the fall. DH does triathlons so we are also looking for any races in locations we'd like to spend the weekend at. There is a race in Fort Walton Beach, Florida in August so we may do that as well. I think this is going to be an exciting summer for us. Instead of one or two big vacations we'll be able to do lots of smaller getaways without spending a ton of money. It'll be fun to just go whenever we feel like it instead of me feeling like we need to save that money for the big vacation, or feel guilty about spending when we just got back from a big vacation.
I hope everyone has a great summer!

Have you considered Michigan for a trip? There are a lot of fun things to do like Mackinac Island, Traverse City, anything on the Great Lakes, and Michigan Adventure. If you look lower in the state, there is the Ann Arbor Art Fair, the Detroit Zoo and loads of other fun things!!

We have no plans as of yet. My wife's sister and her family are coming back for the summer after living in Egypt for over a year. My wife is so excited she really misses them, she was in the room with her sister and husband while she gave birth to 2 of the 3 kids and we hung out with then at least a couple times a week.

In the last couple of months I have seen many commercials on Michigan tourism.

Denise you are going to be busy this summer!

I'm going to Home Depot this summer so I can finish fixing my house.
Assuming I can get that done, we may go to the Grand Canyon.

Yes, we will be busy this summer, but these are all places fairly close to home that we've been wanting to visit with the kids, but have always put these "smaller" trips on the back burner for bigger vacations like WDW. This year we'll be able to do all these little getaways for less than we'd spend on one big WDW trip. None of these trips will be more than 2-4 days long, so while it might seem like a lot its basically just weekends here and there.

We were there a couple of years ago. I loved it. It was really amazing. We stayed at the El Tovar and it was very nice.

We're moving! From California to Virginia. It's a big one, so we probably won't take a trip anywhere else. However, since we'll be new to the area, I'm sure we'll spend some time exploring D.C. and might take a weekend drive up to NYC or Philadelphia.

Natalie, that's a big change. Have you always lived on the west coast?
DC is one of my favorite cities to visit. You can go there for a week and still not have scratched the surface of what they have to offer tourists. Plus, if you are close to DC then you have Baltimore right around the corner too.
Philly has a boat load of historic stuff to see and is a really fun city too.
I'm not much of a NY fan. I really can't say for sure why, it may be just because it is too crowded for me. I know that they have so much to do there but it's not a place I can't wait to get back to.

My husband's family is having a reunion in CO. We're in FL so the kids and I will be flying out and meeting up with my husband from his current work site. We also plan to do some site seeing of either Mt. Rushmore or Grand Canyon. We'll be about equidistance from either site.
