very little, either at the cottages on the beach or picking raspberries at the top of my grandmother's hill, or else at a friend's house, riding tobaggans down her long hill in WI, each person with their own sled, lying down, going feet first, looking up at the stars. After the hill there was a long flat field you'd keep sliding on for a long, long time.

School-Vacations
We took our vacation during April break. My daughters go back to school two days after Labor Day. We did take a few short trips this summer, though.

Let me guess -- one of the vacations is to
Vegas?

Vacations in California

Hi everyone,

The post below got me thinking...I live in WA, and I just wondered - from what I know, the nice beaches I know about in CA are private ones in Malibu. Are there any beautiful, clean beaches in CA that you can take your family to when on vacation? I love the beaches in Mexico, but would like to stay in the US. What do you recommend, if you live there?

Ditto!...Vacations are for relaxing and..
forgetting about work! Unless you really need the money, how about just taking time to enjoy life? You will not remember the shoes you bought or the big screen TV, but you will remember the beautiful day surrounded by nature!

After school starts usually vacations end. nm

Why would you take vacations when you're in such debt?
The money for those planned vacations could be paid towards your credit card. If you're income in increasing soon, why not apply the increase to the bills until the debt is gone and then reward yourself with a nice vacation that you save up for?

I am planning several long weekends this summer for mini-vacations.

We are going to drive up to the Omaha Zoo for a weekend. We live in rural Missouri north of Kansas City, so it's about a three or four hour drive.

Then, we have a family reunion in southern Missouri and I'm planning a 4-day weekend for that so we can spend some time in the Ozarks.

Then, we will go into Kansas City to Worlds of Fun and Oceans of Fun.

Then, I'm planning a four-day weekend in Branson.

So I guess we are going to explore our state too!

Plus we have a public pool in our town that the kids spend a lot of time at. Then there is girl scout camp for my daughter. My son will be getting a job this summer as he's 16 now and mom can't afford gas for my car and his car and to pay for his dates all of the time.

As you can see I try to keep my kids as busy as possible! There is nothing worse than bored children when you're trying to work!

For those people with school aged children when do vacations start to dwindle and you start getting
ready for school. I usually take a vacation when things slow down at the end of Summer and I am just wondering when in August most people start getting into school things and less vacations are taken.
