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!

Scotland sounds outstanding! That would be such an excellent vacation.

Last time I was at G-burg I was a kid and I really didn't care for it (I was pretty small). Anything to do with war bored the crap out of me.

As I told my husband, if it doesn't have rides or animals, most kids want nothing to do with it!

My parents took us on two car trips, one from PA to FL and back and several years later, from PA to CA and back. Still memorable after all these years. Since we went to Disneyland, there were lots of rides to look forward to! And animals at different natural attractions.

Husband and I had long talked about an England, Ireland and Scotland trip this year for our 20th...alas, due to job change and income cut almost in half, neither trip is gonna happen. (more than likely a camping trip the week the girls are at band camp!) Sigh...
