Oh, What Do You Do In The Summer Time...

When all the world is green?

We like to go on vacation. With the exception of last year. You know, the cruise and then getting rear ended. We didn't go anywhere after that. But it's something we like to do. It's fun and exciting.

As we have thought about where we want to go this year, a few places have come up.
Yellowstone...Which would require camping. Which would require shower facilities. Or, my personal preference, rent a house or cabin. But that could get pricey.
Black Hills...Same thing as Yellowstone.
Southern California...Which would require a whole Disneyland theme. And that is something that we are planning for next year. Too pricey for this year.
The Alamo...My suggestion. Which is way too long a drive. We don't want to fly.

So I am asking for suggestions. From you, my dear friends. If you could choose somewhere, in a good driving distance, relatively inexpensive, fun, fun and exciting, where would you go?

A few years ago we made a play for Albuquerque New Mexico. We'd never been so we looked at what could be done there and made plans. It was such a fun trip. The kids still talk about it. We saw museums and drove around, sometimes because we were lost and sometimes just to see Albuquerque. Fun.

That's what we're going for this year. Somewhere we've never been. Somewhere we can just go to and find fun things to see and do.

And we're not opposed to camping. But there would need to be shower facilities. Like KOA. Which we did a whole vacay with 2 years ago. It was fun. But the one by Yellowstone doesn't have showers. Sheesh.

Any thoughts? Any ideas? Any Bottles? Any bones? (I don't know what that means. My dad just always said that when asking questions) Please suggest any fun cities!
