We are leaving in the morning on a mini-vacation. One thing we have tried to do each year since I started teaching, was to take a family vacation. We don't usually do a lot of major travelling but we do try to just get away. This summer we are not doing as much as normal but we are fulfilling a yearly visit. Every year we get together with some good friends of ours in Texas. Many of you know them because we lived near them at Harding and even for a while lived with them. That's right, we lived with them (pre kidos). I like to refer to them as The Dawg and The Dawg's wife. Normally, they would be coming to our house since we went to see them last summer, but they are expecting in a few weeks and so we are making the trip again. Last summer we took the kids to Sea World in San Antonio. The girls loved it, this summer we are heading to Schlitterbahn in New Braunfels. We are heading there because The Dawg has free tickets. Should be a fun time, if nothing else because we are leaving town and getting to spend time with dear friends. I'll keep you posted.
What vacations do you remember as a kid?

Hope you have a great time away and relaxing with friends!
I remember going to Dollywood in Gatlinburg, TN. We never had much extra cash for vacations growing up so it was a big deal for us. The two parents & three kids squeezed into a room with two beds & a kitchenette. We made most all of our meals ourselves for three days & went to the outlet malls where we couldn't actually buy anything, so that we could afford the tickets to Dollywood on the last day. It doesn't sound like much, but we had an absolute blast. Best vacation ever. We laughed so much. It was awesome & I'll never forget it. You guys have fun.
