We had thought about going to Arkansas for a wedding and spending a few days with hubby's extended family, but I don't think we're going to even do that now. It's so hot the middle of July and half of the family doesn't have a/c. It's pretty uncomfortable. Plus, all of the twist and turn-y roads make me carsick.

At the end of this month we're going to go to OKC for a wedding and probably stay 2 nights with hubby's aunt. That'll be about all the excitment for us this summer.

My wife and I (along with our dogs) love to go to the ocean. Somehow our dogs know when we're getting ready even before we pack and start howling. How they know is amazing -- maybe they know some english!

Well, I find myself currently unemployed and loving it! We are going to go camping again with my 3 year old, we went memorial weekend and had a blast and that was my hubby's first ever camping experience. We live in Michigan and we are going to interlochen state camping ground and it is fabulous. Michigan is awesome in the summer and winter. It is also great for the children as well.

We have a few family weekend trips coming up, nothing major. We're probably saving our big vacation for early next year. Too much going on and $$ is tight at the moment.

Now I am thinking we will do my upstate NY idea over Labor Day weekend. There's plenty of time to get good deals if we plan now. I just got a book on NY so I need to research it. I have been to NYC a bunch but not so much outside the city.
