lawngnome o-line Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 I literally just booked a trip to the Dominican Republic for spring break...March 14-20. I never did it when I was in college, and now that I'm single, I figure it would be a good time to "test the warmer waters" of the D.R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alk Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Going to Vegas with the wife and NO KIDS for work/vacation in April. Then we'll probably go back to the cabin in Colorado a month or so after that. That will proably be about it unless we go down to Oklahoma City to catch the Foo Fighters concert.

TaborJet Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 How about a Disney cruise? There's island hopping/shopping/on-board spas for you, Disney-related fun for the kids, and all-you-can-eat buffets for Max. You're welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 My kids are going to Prague on a chorus trip in July. The wife and I are thinking about going to Toronto to catch a Yanks game and see a few other things while they're gone. We'll probably try to fit in a camping weekend or two, as well.

#27TheDominator Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 The wife and I are thinking about going to Toronto to catch a Yanks game and see a few other things while they're gone. My wife and I did that a couple of years ago. Esteban Loiza pitched. Should be hitting Barcelona for a couple of days in March and hopefully a long weekend in Paris in May. Fingers crossed. If I can pull that off AND still get home in July/August I'll be psyched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's island hopping/shopping/on-board spas for you, Disney-related fun for the kids, and all-you-can-eat buffets for Max. You're welcome. Lets see -- just got back from a 5 day cruise on Carnival to Progresso and Cozumel - got sunburn but drank lots and lots but lost a little on Gambling -- Heading to San Antonio in a few weeks for a weekend getaway to celebrate the wifes 51st -- In June rented a cottage on Lake Ontario for a week (going there for a wedding )-- great deal only 400 bucks -- and will spend a few days up on Long Island in August to catch one last game at Shea other than that... Have been on 2 Disney Cruises one 3 day and a 7 day one -- THis was without a doubt the best family vacation money can buy -- you are treated like royalty from the minute step on the ship until the time you get off -- Its pricy but the Mouse dont skimp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kidhuman Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Me and theMrs are probably going to NYC this summer with the kids. Visit some old friends, take the kids to Yankee Stadium for their first ball game ever and my last time there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUM-KNEE Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Thinking of going to Maine in May! Moving in August though, so might need to save the $$. I wouldnt advise coming up in May, you would be hitting pre-peak blackfly season. End of June when the mosquitos hit is the ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where are you all heading to? from a kids/parents POV, we always liked the Washington DC vacation with Smithsonian, other DC sites FBI, Fords Theater etc..we would throw in a Kings Dominion, hour or so south of DC, or Busch Gardens if we did the Williamsburg thing also.. this helped offset the history etc..would spend all day in both amusment and water park section,, The Caverns are very near also and Mount Vernon is very cool... also, we went to a Mountain Resort in NC mountains that kids loved,,horse back riding, water rapids rafyting etc..we got a cabin and it was cool,,, http://www.nvnc.com/index.php this place is cool also i hear,,its where dirty dancing was filmed,,i havent been though http://www.rutherfordtourism.com/links/redirect.php?link=http://www.lakelure.com/lake_lure_inn.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did that two years ago. My sister lives near Virginia Beach, so we did a day at the beach, then a day at Busch Gardens, then went up to Washington. Senator Clinton's office set us up with tours of the Capitol and the White House (your senator or congressman can do the same), we toured a couple of the Smithsonian museums, spent an entire day at the National Zoo, then spent the last day on a trolley tour of all the monuments and Arlington Cemetery. I wish we had had three more days to spend there. A great trip. I had been to D.C. a few times before, but my kids never had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senator Barbara Mikulski was in the tram car in front of us. I think I was the only one in the tour group who recognized her. A tip for those who vacation in DC - get a hotel near a Metro stop. We parked the car when we got to the hotel and never moved it until it was time to go home. The Metro takes you everywhere you need to go without worrying about traffic, wrong turns or parking.
