So I've been thinking that I want to go on vacation! NOW! TODAY! But that's not going to happen. So I've been trying to think of where I want to go so that I can make some plans. I've come up with a few places that I've been thinking about for a few years. I want to go to Arlington National Cemetery in Washington D.C. I've been before but Harry hasn't and I'd really like to go with him. I loved it and I know that he would too. I have two very dear friends that are going to be buried there some day. I'd also like to do go and do the other things that are there in D.C. I've done a lot of them before thanks to Miss Ella.
I've always wanted to go to the San Diego Zoo. I've heard really good things about it. I've never been to San Diego either. I'm thinking that would be a fun trip. But I know I'll get there and wish I had brought Shelby and Reagan. You know how fun a zoo is for children and this vacation I want for just me and Harry. So maybe I'll wait to go there when the kids can go too.
I want to go to New York City. I've been to New York and to Niagara Falls and to the Sacred Grove and Hill Cumorah and other Historical Church sites, but I've never been to the big city. I want to go to see the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. I always wanted to climb the stairs to the top. Harry did that when he was a young boy but I understand they won't let you do that any more.
I've also been thinking about some where in Maine. Do any of you have any helpful suggestions of somewhere we should think about going on vacation. I'm open to your suggestions. Leave a comment.

I didn't see Washington State in your list. I've told Nate a hundred times, it's the celestal kingdom. Think about it!
It's so funny that you did this right now. I was about to do a post about going somewhere, too. I think I would like to go somewhere on my 30th birthday this year. I was thinking New York. We could all go at the same time!! Sounds like a plan.
Go to NYC, Boston and Maine ... I'm sure EP could give you some good tips on how to get around and what to see ...
Jim and I are suppose to go to NYC this summer...we've both been a few times before but it is a quick and easy getaway while in the east. Seriously though, I think you should go to the northeast...you could throw in NYC, but you must go to Boston(my most favorite east coast city) and the surrounding areas...Lexington and Concord, Salem, and Newport, Rhode Island is awesome too with all the homes. Seriously I could give you more info from our trip there if you are interested.

The kind of vacation you're talking about is the kind you need another vacation to recoup from.
When I think vacation I think rest under a palm tree somewhere where the temp stays 72 degrees or lower.
Or Maine or Canada; Oregon or Wash. State; Alaska or Hawaiian Islands; I really would love to go to the Cayman Islands or any secluded Islands off Austrailia and New Zealand.

Oh and one more thing...if you really want to take Harry to Arlington can I recommend going in the spring during Cherry Blossom festival. During one of our Maryland years we went down there during the festival and went to Arlington. It was crowded but so beautiful and a perfect day.
If you guys go to New York give me a call and I will meet you there! We've lived here for 11 years and I have still never been to the big apple. My parents have been lots of times. Mom says the best time to go is in the fall when there aren't as many tourists. I don't know if it can be any worse than GA, but it is sweltering in the summer anyway and the sewers are stinky!
If you go to Maine (which is BEAUTIFUL) stop and see me on the way!! It would be great to meet the last Crenshaw sibling!
If it were me I would go to NYC and see a broadway show or Maine.....I've always wanted to go to Maine. I hear it is gorgeous!
Haley is right about Washington State. We went to Spokane last April and fell in love with it.
New York is gorgeous almost all year round. I recommend fall visits. Great climate and beautiful spectacular colors!
I don't think they let you go to the top of the lady anymore because of the security issues and lack of access to the disabled. I've only seen NY from the airport, My idea of a vacation is good food, company and no rushing.
