The last few years we have tried to go somewhere new ex: aruba, cabo, toronto. This year we aren't going anywhere, with the uncertainty of what type of treatment we'll need. And if it turns out that treatment is successful early on we have TONS of fun projects to do around the house- like put in a patio!

Every year my family has a reunion at cabins that my aunt and uncle own. That will be over the 4th of July. Our theme this year is Christmas in July- should be entertaining to say the least. I have heard several tales of Santa suits that will be making a voyage down the creek.
That sounds interesting. The pictures would be really fun!

Absolutely nothing - this is the first time we have never had a vacation to look forward to. We are trying to put our $$ toward house renovations and now IF treatments so we won't be taking our annual trip this year to Hawaii.
We are looking into a cheaper Vegas or Cabo trip for our anniversary in August so hopefully we will have something booked soon.

No big summer vacation plans for us. We have a beach house that we'll spend as much time at as possible. I'm teaching summer "academy" so that puts a damper on any travel. Luckily, it's only a week at a time (it's like a summer enrichment program for kids on the verge of needing summer school).

Vegas and Cabo are great - I have been to both before. I def. recommend going to Vegas at least once even if you don't like to gamble. It is only an hour and twenty minute flight for us though and cheap Southwest tickets.

We are still deciding. Our 2 top ideas are to go to Boston and the Cape OR to go to Williamsburg and Virginia Beach. I guess we are into a little bit of History with a little bit of beach this year - lol.
At this moment though it all seems expensive, so we may end up scraping either plan!! I guess we will need to decide in a week or two and come up with something.

We're going to Kauai and Oahu in a couple weeks!! I cannot wait. We went to Maui and the Big Island of Hawaii before beginning TTC and figured why not go to Hawaii again since we still don't have kids. This is our pre-IVF vacation. Hopefully, next time we go to Hawaii we'll have kids.

We actually just spent the weekend in San Antonio and had a GREAT time, but at the beginning of July we're flying up to my home state of Michigan to visit my family and spend some time up at the lake at the cabin...can't wait!!
A friend's family has a huge beach house down near Wilmington, N.C., and we'll be spending a week out there with them and some other friends in June. I can't wait! I love the beach!
Trying to grow our family with both fertility treatments and adoption since March 2009
At the end of June we're driving to Folley Beach, SC. My MIL, FIL SIL, her husband and two kids will be sharing a four bedroom/three bath condo with me & DH. We plan to do a day trip to Savannah. Looking forward to it.
We're going to Sedona in September and then I have a surprise trip to Orlando planned for DH's birthday in November. I've kept that secret for three months....only six more to go!
