It's that time of year again where school is coming to a close in a short period of time and the family will be taking time away from home. For a long time, we had a beach house that belongs to my brother in law. We got to spend lots of time down at the beach. The drive form home was only about an hour and a half or less. Depending upon traffic course.
Hurricane Ike took away our home on Crystal Beach and there isn't anything but a vacant lot there now. I didn't think I'd miss it as much as I do. It was a year later when I finally returned to see the place. I've been a few times since and normally use it as an excuse o take the bike out for a trip. I'm glad to see the place is rebuilding, I just wish it were us being a part of it.
Last year, we took a trip to Alabama. I think it took us 8 hours to get there and we rented a cabin for a week. We enjoyed it so much that we decided if we could afford it, we would make plans for a return trip. As it turns out, we were able to rent the same cabin! IT was the only one available and this time we will take two weeks vacation. I can't wait to go. I just wish I were bring my bike with us.

Sorry about your cabin being destroyed. Hope you have a good vacation. Maybe someone in Alabama will be nice and loan you a bike for a day.
ReplyDeleteBike for a day! Now that sounds like great fun!!! Actually, I'm tempted to take only a week off and ride my bike there separate from the rest of the family. Eight hours straight on a bike sounds pretty harsh on my back though. I know I can 'last a solid 4 to 5 hours but there is a difference when riding alone versus with a group should something happen.
ReplyDeleteWe've never taken a family vacation - all of us. We never had the money to do so. Maybe next year *sigh*
ReplyDeleteHonestly, Family Vacations don't have to cost much. If you like to camp, for little to nothing, you can take the whole family camping. It can be lots of fun or a total disaster. Especially depending upon weather. At least it would make for fond memories later on. The only real reason we can afford this trip is we have several adults pitching in to rent the cabin.
