Has the tiniest stone fort at the top and a Civil War cannon: it was the lookout post in case the South breeched the defenses at Gettysburg to march on Washington.

Of course, we'll likely not have any kids with us and dh has not yet reserved a trailer for our trip (because he doesn't yet want to purchase one), so there's that. For some reason he can't figure out why he'd need to reserve a trailer yet.<br />Please tell me I've shared the picture of us dressed up in Mormon pioneer garb from a recent spring break trek to the southwest (if not, I owe you a picture).<br />Karen (formerly kcinnova)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08965093440928340819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-78567935889541569002018-02-24T14:58:34.405-05:002018-02-24T14:58:34.405-05:00I wasn't home schooled, but almost every vacat...I wasn't home schooled, but almost every vacation we ever took had some kind of educational focus. My dad made us write out what we saw in our journals when we got back to the hotel. So relaxing. We did manage to squeeze in a few visits to the Magic Kingdom though. <br /><br />What parks are you considering? Yellowstone is our favorite. I have tentative plans to go this summer, but the only hotel reservations in the park I could get when I called in July '17 were for 'Rough Riders'. Bathrooms are a small walk from the room. My dad is supposed to go with me. Not sure I will survive the trip or he will survive the walk to the bathrooms in the dark of night. <br /><br />Finally, I am concerned that Larry has dementia, because our kids (the younger ones anyway) are still interested in camping. Coach and I hate it. Larry must be confused. When Coach walked out of the bathroom with Reggie by the wrist when we camped at the Grand Canyon and called to me, 'Guess who dropped his toothbrush under the urinal?' I was done.

That's 12 hours of driving (each way). Single mom + two boys + autism meltdowns + toothache all in one tiny car for 12 hours straight. And then back again. Friends, that was good times right there. Good times. Thank goodness for funny knitting books.

Your plan sounds excellent, but we don't think leaving all three teens home alone to be a smart idea. Hopefully, by next year, someone will want to go with us again. But once the kids are all grown and flown, I plan for Larry to take 2 months off and we'll do that thing where you can drive around the country and see all the national parks. Someone on Facebook worked out a route for that.<br />Suburban Correspondenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11488916572135296650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-47744053766959417362018-02-23T19:56:04.149-05:002018-02-23T19:56:04.149-05:00This whole post had me laughing!

Leave it to my children to actually prefer the more original, Knott's Berry Farm. And camping! Well, look at it this way, maybe without all the kids in the car on the way to Maine, you can actually stop in MA or NH! We could go to the White Mountains! Larry would probably love it.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08556301919720689325noreply@blogger.com
