We are heading to Reno next week to stay for 6 days. We can't wait!! And after that we will be waiting for Jacob to be born and then we will be off to move to Louisiana.

Right now, nothing. :( Jack just started a new job so who knows when we'll be able to get away.

I would love to spend a few days down in Williamsburg, VA, go to Busch Gardens (our most favorite place :D ) and The Pottery. We'll see. :rolleyes:

I'm not sure. Dh works every Sat. now so if we do any travelling, it will be during the week. I would like to explore our province more, possibly go up north a bit and I'd love to hit a number of antique and quilting stores in the process. Just to look you know. ;)

We're going to our state homeschool convention at the end of May in Orlando - http://www.gaylordhotels.com/gaylordpalms/ .

No trips planned for this summer, but in Oct. (if hurricane season cooperates) I'd like to take ds somewhere even if it's just 'local' trips (a couple of hours away) to some lighthouses or other fun/educational places.

We don't actually have it planned yet, but we'd like to go back to Buncomb Creek, TX area. We got together with the whole family down there several summers ago renting 2 trailers (one mom and dad and my sister and her family stayed in, the other my brother and I and both our families stayed in). It was about $110 a weekend to rent one of the mobile homes. We did a lot of fishing and eating there.

We also plan to take the girls to the zoo and some other places.

Sounds like a great place, Debbie!

No solid plans yet, but no doubt we will travel to Chicago to visit my mother. And probably make a trip to the Branson area since we live only 1 1/2 to 2 hours away. With gasoline so expensive, we probably won't go further than Chicago (which is far enough!).

For youngest DD's college graduation we have a trip planned for just the four of us in June. Hubby feels it will be the last time he has his girls to himself since both are now engaged LOL, no boys allowed.

We will be spending one night in Chattanooga to go to the Aqauirum and whatever else we can fit in, then over to the Smokies for a few days. We'll be staying in Pigeon Forge but will spend alot of time in the park itself.

We will be heading for Ketucky for a family reunion the second weekend in June. We all meet at General Butler State park for the weekend. Then we will go on to Louisville and visit my mom and sister. While we are there we will probably take the girls to Elizabethtown and the Abraham Lincoln Birthplace, and the Horse Park.

Before that, DH and I are going away for a weekend to Cherokee, NC. We are going to take a 4.5 hour train ride on the Great Smoky Mountain railway.

I am trying to get a friend's condo at the beach for a week in August. Our girls have never been to the beach in the summer - LOL!

Englishlady~ I haven't read the Harry Potter books either but my two daughters, ages 23 and 26 are wild for them. They would be very jealous I'm sure LOL!

We will be making our annual Mackinac Island Trip this year. We always go in June(our Anniversay). We will stay for 4 days.

We are going to IL for 3-4 weeks to visit dh while he is working there. That should be interesting :rolleyes:

We will be heading back to where we lived for 2 years when Joe first started his job. His first boss is who we made Godmother to our daughter and she has yet to meet her.

Wow, sounds like a great trip! I don't think I realized that the Harry Potter film castle was a real deal! My kids would be absolutely green with envy, Englishlady!

Dawn, I forgot where in Michigan you are. We haven't gone to Mackinac yet, but I'd love to. It's quite a way from us though.

We don't have any big trips planned, but we go on a lot of daytrips on weekends. We'd like to go tent camping at least once this summer. I'll do it if it means I don't have to go to Canada to see his family. :p

We're planning on going to Mexico again to use the last voucher for hotel rooms that we have. I hope we can get a great deal on airfare. We also have a couple of weekend trips in mind but they will be more of the spur of the moment type. Not many plans made on those yet.
