Vacation Plans

I have had quite a busy little weekend. The weather was greatly improving until today. Snow hit and hit hard. We might get 5 more inches after we just got rid of the old stuff. So goes March! I cheered myself up the other day with just a few simple things. Nothing like a car wash, Noodles for dinner and fresh tulips to brighten your day!

We are going to stick with going to Idaho this summer. That much is decided. Rachel and Pete are going to drive along in their own car with Max. I think I would like to stop and see the Black Hills and drive up through the northern part of Yellowstone. I would also like to stay in a rented cabin or cottage in Coeur d' Alene this year as opposed to a hotel. When we leave CDA I'd like to drive down through Boise and go see mom's grave and make sure all is well there.

We decided that next Spring Break we are going to Disneyworld. I have always wanted to go but we could never afford it. It will be fun to start planning that trip now so it's all set! I would like to take everyone down to Sanibel Island. That was one of the more memorable places Tom and I visited. The Thomas Edison home was one of the more interesting spots we visited there.Disney itself I am sure has changed since I was there in 1986! Seaworld will be a must. Epcot was OK but I can live without it.

The *really*big plans might turn out to be for next summer. Jon mentioned Italy. We have always wanted to go see Pompeii. I will have to work up to that one. It sounds like one long plane ride to me! Not to mention that Pompeii is quite a ways from Rome itself. *sigh* We will have to see. I would love to learn some Italien. I am currently learning Spanish as part of staff development at my school. That plus the French I already know should get me by. It's all pretty exciting to think about!
