QOTD: 2/26

Any summer vacation plans?

[Unknown]

I'm so over all this snow and cold, and am thinking ahead to warmer weather!!

We rent a beach house w/ the whole extended family each year. Last year we didn't go because DD was to young to enjoy it and wasn't a great sleeper, so we are more then ready for a vacation.

[sugarkissed]

Probably not much! Baby is due in early June so we will be taking it easy this summer. Maybe a few weekend trips to the mountains.

NO thank god! My brother is having a baby the end of March and I am throwing a meet and greet baby shower for them in April so we are flying to the homeland (San Diego) with both toddlers. Planing on taking them to Sea World which they are going to totally die from excitement. Other then that....laying low and enjoying our first summer in 3 years with out being pregnant or having a newborn. Really looking forward to getting the kids involved in some activities and relaxing.

Not yet. My SIL usually rents a condo on the beach in August near us and we crash it for a day or two.

We do have a big family vacation to Walt. Disney World planned in October. Staying on property for 5 days, 9 kids ages 8 and under, it's going to be a blast!

[junewife]

Probably not. I'm due in Sept, and DH will be really busy at work this summer. We're flying to the opposite coast for a wedding in May so that will probably be about it, except maybe a weekend trip or two.

None right now. We've been hemorrhaging money lately with stuff that keeps breaking (all expensive things like the washer, dryer, computers, toilets, etc) so I doubt we'll be doing anything like a vacation.

[fiveohfive]

No vacations for us this year. Between DDs surgery and its $5200 deductible, our black labs tumor removal in Oct ($1000), a $700 dental crown and my upcoming unpaid maternity leave we are maxed out. I'm hoping we can do a staycation day or two at our house.

DS and I may go to Hawaii to spend it with my parents. DH wants to get a job at a hospital this summer to get his foot in the door. He finishes nursing school in December. He might not go with us if we do go to Hawaii. The other plan is to stay home.

[lilqt3929]

No plans yet but desperately want to do something! DD has only slept away from home for a week last June and I'm really nervous of messing up her sleep since we've got a good thing going. On a positive note, she's finally a bit better in the car so that gives me a little relief for a long car ride someplace. We've thrown out the option of taking a long weekend up north in the mountains to do a trial with DD. I'd also love to take DD to see the ocean!

We don't really have any plans. I do want to spend a weekend at the Greatwolf Lodge though. It's only 30 minutes away and has an awesome indoor waterpark. Since I'm due at the beginning of August, I just want to float and be cool! We haven't set anything up though.

[Unknown]

A lot of S13 mamas not vacationing because of new babies...CRAZY!!

[mommabakes]

Nothing here, baby 2 is due in August and we have plans to buy a house this summer which means no extra money for trips. We will likely get away for a couple of weekend trips though.

[joi922]

Nope. We are hoarding all our leave for August when the baby is due, and saving some for the winter holidays. We went to Key West sin December, and that's going to have to last us a while!

[krose]

We've had a ton of plans come up all the sudden! 6 weddings between May and October, one of the weddings we'll be flying to Colorado and staying a few days. Two weekend away bachelorette parties, one in Newport and one in Maine (though I think I'll only go to one), both in July. We are supposed to fly out to Virginia visit DHs best friend and his girlfriend to celebrate his friends 30th in June. On top if all that, we had been planning to take a "pre trying for #2"/3rd anniversary trip to Barbados in September.

[redfraggle]

We would like to take another road trip, but we haven't made any plans yet. I'm just looking into swimming lessons right now for spring.

[af1004]

Probably just sine semi local trips. We will save and go to the keys next summer. Our goal is to go there every other year.

[marley629]

I took two weeks off during the summer months. The first week is a "Staycation" and we will probably do a few day trips with LO to Sesame Place, NYC, boardwalk down the shore. And then we rented a beach house in Long Beach Island (NJ) for the 3rd week of August. I can't wait. I need a vacation

[princessvespa1]

I think we are going to Gatlinburg either late May or early June. Other than that, not too much planned. If anyone knows of good things to do there with a 4 year old and almost 2 (by then) year old that won't break the bank I would love some suggestion.

[jlprybs927]

We are going to Key West in May for a long weekend and maybe the OBX in August. I am so ready for warm weather !

[af1004]

princessvespa1 I live 30-45 minutes from Gatlinburg! I actually haven't been all the way into Gatlinburg in a long time. They do have Ripley's aquarium and a few other Ripley's attractions. If course there is Dollywood and Dolly's Splash Country, I think they are kinda expensive but may not be too bad. Sevierville has a hotel with an indoor water park it's called Wilderness at the Smokey's. And there are a ton of dinner shows and other things in Pigeon Forge.
