Every year for the last seven years or so we go to Williamsburg. We do Busch Garden, Water county, Jamestown settlement( sometimes) and other little outings. We will be doing this this summer as well! In speaking with my aunt about our plans she asked if we were tired of going there and thought we should do something different. Heck No! Last year was one of the best times ever. I'd been exercising regularly and although I hadn't lost much weight was in better physical shape and had way more energy than in the past. DS is older so I wasn't on baby duty, forced to sit in about a foot of water all day lol. Turns out he is a little dare devil like his big sis! You would not believe some of the rides he got on with us! I was surprised they let him. Anyway we are all looking forward to doing it again this summer and what they'll let him get on now that he's 5.
So do any of you take the same vacation every summer? If, so Where?
Hot Springs, AR. My in-laws have a timeshare there and it is so nice because we know what to do there, we know what we want to take the kids to do and we know we will get to spend time with all the aunts, uncles and cousins.
We love Virginia Beach because it is nearby and discovered we can get a cabin on the navy base there for a reasonable price since we are military!
We just had a weekend in Williamsburg and had a blast! Have you been to Historic Jamestown and the glassblowing demonstration? Much better than Jamestown Setttlement in my family's opinion!
We do weekend get aways about 3 times a year to National Harbor. We LOVE it there!!! The resort keeps us busy all day and my husband can still go to work in Bethesda.
We do Williamsburg also. Not every year, but we love it there. We went down in 09 for the first time, then last January, and we're booked for Memorial Day Weekend this year. Can't wait!!
Keisha:
Nope. We like to change it up. We didn't take a vacation last summer as my husband was unemployed.
I think it's great that you do this!! Gives the family something to look forward to!!! Especially since everyone enjoys it!! YOU GO GIRL!!!
Keisha,
This is too funny. Every year, we go with the In-laws to Williamsburg but at Halloween for their "Fright Fest" or whatever they call it. It is the same thing every year, but we look forward to it. When we couldn't go last year due to a medical emergency with my FIL we were really bumemd and tried to figure out how we could go....needless to say it didn't happen so we are REALLY looking forward to going this year! We tend to be creatures of habit in our house. As long as we still enjoy it, we will continue to go!
We also go to Lake Gaston in North carolina to o camping every summer. This might be the first year we don't go....still up in the air but truthfully, I coudl go either way on it.
No, unless weekends and holidays at my parent's cabin count. We like to see new places. Sometimes we don't take a summer vacation at all. After three years in a row taking a nice summer vacation, this year we are going to take a nice spring break vacation and either skip the summer vacation or just go somewhere not too far away for a long weekend. If your family found something they really like to do every summer I'd say good for you! It sounds like a great vacation. Your kids are still pretty young too. We've found that vacations evolve quite a bit as the kids get older. Have fun!
wildwood crest .. nicest beach in jersey
We spend a long weekend on Captiva and a short week on the Maryland shore.
we live about an hour from williamsburg so we get year passes to busch gardens, water country and ocean breeze (in virginia beach) my cousins then 4 year old went on almost every ride at water country lst year. wish i lived closer id go every week. my daughter is 7 and im hoping she can get on a roller coaster this summer...right now she's an inch away from that goal:)
how fun!! If y'all enjoy it, who cares if you make it the same spot? As a creature of habit, I would like it because y'all know where everything is and what's good, ect. Congrats on your exercise! I too am on the weight loss journey (17 pounds down, a million to go) but heh! Its a start :) we go to biloxi ms each summer. My dad lives about 3 blocks from the beach and its really fun. We get to stay there for a week on a true vacation! I don't have to clean or cook and I get to relax too! Our baby will be 5 this month and past the baby stage so no baby duty for me either! I am a worrier when it comes to water so we all have to be protected but other than that, good, lazy and a fruity drink laying on the sand time! Hopefully ill drop a good bit of this weight and be able to be comfy this year :) I hope y'all have a wonderful vacation!!
