Question of the Day - August 21st

Colin and I went to Six Flags, the St. Louis Zoo, and just explored St. Louis a little bit for our birthdays (July 29). We had a blast!!! I LOVED the water park at six flags and all of the rollar coasters at the theme park. The zoo was wonderful- i really enjoyed seeing all of the animals and just walking around!

I'd definitely recommend St. Louis to anyone- it's a really fun city and it seems like there's a good bit of stuff to do there!

DH and I went to Kure Beach in NC for our 1yr anniversary in July it was beautiful and yes I would deffinately reccommend it to anyone who just wants to get away for a while

We went to Disney World in May for memorial day weekend. We went to all 4 parks and the 2 water parks. We also went to Downtown Disney, Disney Quest and the Marketplace to do some shopping. I definitely recommend it especially if you are are staying in a Disney Resort. The Disney shuttle will to take you anywhere you want to go.

Northern Michigan...and OF COURSE!!!! Much prettier than where I live.

My mom and I went several years ago in March and the weather was beautiful! And you're right, we did TONS of walking! We stayed at the Luxor...where did you stay?

Yup-it was hot, but the humidity was much different!! They say you dont sweat there......umm, I recall sweating while we walked the strip!! Oh, and we stayed at the Excalibur!!

One of my daughters was living in Alaska...
I used her home as a base while I explored the state for 2 weeks.
It was August and the weather was glorious.
Everyone should go at least once in their life.

Does going to Altoona, PA this past weekend count? BOOOOORING unless you have family there. OH WAIT! There was family there and it was STILL boring....not too much do in such a big city

Sorry, Travis....

New York City.....I think everyone should at least visit it.

Last year we took a roadtrip to my hometown (vandergrift, Pa) & yes, I would recommend it. My heart aches everytime I think about it. It is a beautiful little town, & it's like going back in time, to a place where people are stilll friendly & wave to strangers, where an old guy can still doze off on a bench outside of a diner. There are quiet treelined streets with big well kept houses & people sitting on their porches. A friendly neighborhood diner where the locals go that is still there from when I was a kid, the walls decorated with the city's football memorabilia, past & present. The beautiful city of Pittsburgh, PA 30 miles away....what else can you ask for? (and by the way, Pittsburgh was once in the top 10 most beautiful places in the US to visit)

Well, my last overnight trip was to Gettysburg and it was awesome! I would recommend it to anyone!

I don't count our periodic trips to Vancouver Island as vacation, since we go for a few days to touch base with family, but I would indeed recommend it to anyone.

Our last vacation was last summer to central Mexico. We went with our choir on a tour there, stayed in San Miguel de Allende, and visited Guanajuato, Atotonilco, Queretero, El Pueblito and some went to the hot springs at La Gruta. It was a totally awesome time. All things being equal, we will be going back in 2009, and I for one am deeeeeeeeeeeeeelighted. Yes, I would certainly recommend it.

Hmmm, I don't go anywhere that cool. I go to Ottawa when I go on vacation. It is a nice city though

I've not been on vacation since I was a little girl so I wouldn't suggest it to anyone. Family is so...scary!!

Our last "so-called" vacation was June of 2006.

We were going for the week of my husbands b-day which would be thursday of the week we were there.
To make a long story shorter.....Hey, I tried

We were having a great time.
We stayed at the Alladin for the first time. Awesome beds!!!
The last 3 times we stayed at the Excalibur and LOVED it, just wanted to check out the others.
We got married at the Excalibur Hotel Chapel in May of 2000. It was so nice and they were awesome to work with from Indiana to set it up.
First time either of us had ever been to Las Vegas and I almost didn't make the flight because I was sooooo terrified and hyperventilating, crying, etc...
Anyway we go back because it holds such a great experience for us both.

That thursday I woke up feeling a little rough, and had no alcohol the night before. 5 night trip. Got up went out doing our thing, by 1pm I was back at the room to take a "short" nap. I ended up having heat stroke!
I spent the night up and down every 10-20 min. and was more miserable than words can describe.
Bad enough I was sick, it was my husbands birthday and I was in NO condition to go anywhere..
I was still very sick when we had to check out friday morning by 11am.
Waited at the airport till 6:45pm for our flight home not knowing what my body would do next. ;(

So, my last vacation was a Disaster and I am waiting for the one this year, (next 2-3 months) to override it in my mind.

Not sure where we're going but it won't be Vegas this year.
Don't misunderstand me....I LOVEEEE Las Vegas, I just won't go in June, July or August again.
Wanna see that guy that won "America's Got Talent" there at Bally's when I go next. They offered him a gig there with his million dollar prize.

Hope your vacations turn out better!!
