Planning that vacation?

Go to historic Gettysburg, PA!

I tell everyone that, with the caveat that they have to take me. For $5 I'll give you a tour...in period dress too! (Provided I can squeeze into my corset, that is.)

I get a ton of women's/family magazines, and at this time of year they always have glossy photos of choice vacation spots. I haven't noticed any articles on going to G'burg, though, so I'm going to say right here: Go! Trust me, once you get into it, it's a lot of fun.

So, yeah, I'm still planning on taking the younglings to see that Star Wars museum exhibit...and I'd also like to take the kids to King's Island. But do you know what I'd really like to do?

Get my kicks on Route 66. I don't know why, but I just think it would be fun to start in Chicago and drive along Route 66. I've seen all kinds of programs on the History channel about old roadside attractions, stuff that was popular before the big highway system came into being, and I'd like to take a long drive. I realize things have changed...

But wouldn't you love to check out that motel in...wherever it is...that has the rooms shaped like teepees? I want to do stuff like that, just go and check stuff out.

*sigh* I realize, though, that this trip will have to wait until the younglings are a bit older. Did you know, though, that I'm already planning a trip to Scotland? Yep, the day after Daughter graduates from high school I'm outta here. No kids, either!
