October 2011 Moms

Hey Ladies! I have a question about vacations. :)

First of all, I have been lurking just looking at how much everyone's little ones have grown and how adorable they are! I can't believe it's been as long as it has. Good times, that's for sure! :)

 

So, we took Norah to the beach in October but are trying to decide what we want to do for vacation this year. I don't want to fly, so it needs to be in driving distance. We are planning a Halloween Disney Cruise for next year but still want to do something this year. Are you all taking a vacation & if so, where?

  • Also, I changed my signature, but it's not reflecting the change yet on my post... Anyone have any ideas about that?

  • Like you, I'm not interested in flying with DD, yet. We do bite sized weekends within driving distance - usually to St. Louis to visit family. There are a lot of kid friendly activities there.
  • We are going to a scientific meeting in Denver in May so DS will be coming with us for that. We always turn those meetings into mini vacations. We may go to Seattle by car for a long weekend in February. If we do that we will just be kicking it around town and shopping at Ikea. Other than those 2 things we do not have any plans except for our usual camping trips during summer.

  • We're going on vacation in March and trying to save money so we'll drive instead of fly too. We're thinking we'll drive up the coast for about 3 days stopping and staying in different areas and hotels, and then drive back down for 3 days stopping and staying again. We haven't worked out any details yet, but we'll get to see the CA coast, stop in places like Santa Barbara and Pismo Beach and Morro Bay, and never spend more than a couple of hours in the car at any one time. That's the idea at least.

    That would be a lot of fun! We have not confirmed plans 100% but we are keeping our fingers crossed that it will happen. I will definitely keep in touch and let you know if we head out that way so we can all meet up!

  • We live in the Portland, OR area: so far, Gator had been to...

    Bend, OR
    Crater Lake, OR
    Lake Billy Chinook, OR
    Foster Lake, OR
    Lake Tapps, WA
    Seattle, WA
    A road trip to San Diego and back...making numerous stops.

    This year we have planned so far:
    Brundage Mountain Ski Resort, ID...but we came back do to family emergency so we were only there one day.
    Foster Lake, OR in May
    Dosewallips in the WA Puget Sound in June
    Lake Billy Chinook, OR in July and August.
    Foster Lake, OR in September
    A couple of trips to the beach
    Some overnight hiking adventures

    We are mostly lakes for camping and boating. We try and squeeze as many as we can in there since the summer is so short but I am sure we will add a trip to the John Day River and Prineville Before the summer is over. Gator loves camping and I made a vow that I would continue to do our trips because I don't want to be afraid to take her somewhere thinking it will be too much work. So far, except our trip this week, all have turned out good. And while I am SAH with Gator, SO loves that I don't have a work schedule to worry about and we can drop everything and go. This kid has traveled more in the past 14 months, than I think I did in my first 10 years of life.
