***EDIT***
Mom, what do you think about the Grand Canyon this summer?Ā We could go down on mules and leave Dad and Andy up above…Andy says he’s afraid of heights, but I think he’s really just a wuss….
Just in case anyone still reads this, I’m trying to decide where we should go for vacation this year. I’d really like to go southwest at some point, but I’d like to rent a jeep and go down into Canyonlands for a few days and I’m not sure we can afford that this summer. So, Andy’s never been to Mesa Verde so we could just go down and do that kind of stuff (plus I’ve been reading a lot of Tony Hillerman lately, so Chaco Canyon could be a fun adventure) and maybe head up north for a day or so, too. Or, we could go to the Dakotas, because I haven’t been there in awhile and Wall is always fun. Or, we could head the other direction to the east coast. Maybe to Niagra Falls, since neither of us has been there. Any other suggestions or votes? Keep in mind we’ll camp at least part of the time, and try to be as cheap as possible the rest.
How about Ouray, CO? Beautiful scenery, a quaint town, a hot springs pool. Plus it is fairly close to Mesa Verde, Durango and Silverton.
What about Fiji? I hear that all you need to get there is a boat moped… You can pedal while I sleep…and we can set up a tent on the high seas, so it still counts as “camping” for most of the trip! š
Hello, Houston is the obvious choice š You can camp along the way or down on the beach in Galveston if you really want to, and the rest of the time you can stay with me! That equals $0 in accommodations! And I will cook you wonderful food (though admittedly not as creative as yours).
Things of interest around here: NASA, the Gulf, shopping, various sports teams, art, museums (including the National Museum of Funeral History)… and me! š
I don’t know if I can ever get dad to go back there. He is typical of Chevy Chase’s “Vacation” theory. Once you’ve been…
I would suggest you ask him. I don’t have much luck. Anyway, let’s look at our calendars and see what we can find.
so i got it..me and andy will go to fiji..you and mom can go to whatever desert or strange landmark you choose…and dad can do whatever he wants to do…
