Now that it seems that vacation time is starting, I just wondered what all of our good friends here so for vacation........
We have people here from all over the U.S. and Canada, so we may get some interesting responses.
It's funny how people will travel hours to see what may be in our own back yard.

For instance, I'm less then 40 miles away from Niagara Falls, but hardly ever go there.

As for our plans,  we usually stick around the home during the summer, working on the house, pool, etc. 
Our vacation seems to be more in January/ Febuary, when we try to book a cruise to get away from our brutal western NY winter.

You do not need to get too specific, but it might be interesting to see about where you all go, how far, how long, etc....
Do you camp, fly, go see mickey, etc,etc.
Do you take more day trips, or do the "grand, big vacation" thing.....

Basically, what do you do to make that great, "Family Memory"............

Vacation - not quite sure what that is.  Haven't gone on a vacation since my Aunt's wedding in 1986 or 1988.  That was to Alberta - I would also love to go again and resee everything through adults eyes (I was about 8 then).  The Rockies, Banff, Jasper, Calgary Zoo, West Edmonton Mall, Red Deer, Lake Louise, the oil wells, the endless fields and the list is never ending.

Now for 'vaction' type days we just take a day trip somewhere or just stay home and work around the house.  Have big dreams of traveling out of province, but I don't like to drive and Chris doesn't want to fly.  May lead to some problems.

Good thread Frank!

I used to go to Branson every year, sometimes for a long weekend and sometimes for a week. I usually just take long weekends and do some fishing and/or hunting. When I deer hunted more than I do now I would take the opening week of deer season off. I never have been much on the "big" vacation, I seem to get more out of going to a good bass fishing lake for a few days, preferably somewhere that has nice restaurants and good night life close by.

Usually to there house lol. Spend time with them have fun, mabie have a nice holiday dinner specially made by my sister. Or we would go hicking, or go out in my brother in law's boat and go fishing. I don't know, anything that is fun. Last week my nephue came over and we had alot of fun! To me, thats good enough. I don't need to go to Hawaii to feel good or make the family feel good.

It's been a while since the family and I went on a vacation.  We usually go to Rehoboth Beach or a beach close by.  I'll hopefully get to Jersey this year, but we'll see. 

My vacation is doin' the work I really enjoy... a day or two at a time... here at home... and especially trips to my lot in Vt to mow & work...(when the grass is less than 24" tall !... LOL...)

Last  "real vacation" was 2 years ago...  2 weeks with girlfriend and camper to Canada... Prince Edward Island... and around the perimeter of Nova Scotia...

Dave...

I have to agree with Dave....just getting out of the city, little city that it is...feels like a mini vacation to me.  My sister lives further out in the country and I find myself relaxing the further out in the country I get ....I love the smell of the hay, especially after its been freshly cut. 

I get away up north once in a while and I enjoy that very much...a little cabin on 80 acres and lots of trails to explore.  The stars seem so much brighter up there too....just fill the sky at night. 

Someplace I've always wanted to go is Scotland....I love the history of the place and beautiful old stone buildings.  The land is such rich, dark color.  Ireland would be second.  Someday.

I would enjoy that kind of vacation 

I get  out to LV once or twice a year, justr for 2-3 days.   Also get a quick one dayer if one of my horses is runnin out of state.  Havent been able to get away as a family for 7-8 years now.  Always a new baby, or this or that goin on w/ my others that ya just cant find the time.  We are thinkin of tryin' to do Disney this fall, but I dont know if there is enough Valium on the planet to get me through it.  I would be lettin 5  wild animals loose in a park w/ nice people.
