Family Vacation

Our family is faced with a quandry as to how we should spend our family vacation. We are somewhat up in the air, since we don't know the exact date that SgtDub will be home. We have a general idea, but not enough to make reservations anywhere. Thus the problem . . . SgtDub is scheduled to be home sometime around the end of June, and he will have approximately two weeks off before he has to report back to work with the police department. He can actually take up to ninety days (I think) to report back to work, but that's only if you can afford to be without pay during that time, and we can't, so he's heading back to work. We've talked about trying to take a trip, but now we're faced with the problem that nothing is available due to the 4th of July holiday - yes, the 4th of July holiday sits right in the middle of our two weeks off, and apparently everyone in the world wants to take a trip on the 4th of July. So what should we do for our family vacation? Anyone got ideas or suggestions for some quality family time? If so, please share your thoughts and ideas. Thanks and have a great day!

Sorry about the previous deletion. Poor spelling and grammar-and I'm a freak.. Anyway, how about a cabin/lake retreat. Where there aren't fireworks or parades should be a little easier to get in. Or some small-off-the-wall town- just to say you've been there? Anyway, prayers for your hubby's return. You seem like a great couple.

How exciting this must be for you!! I think I would just go on a nice quiet restful vacation somewhere simple and peaceful.
The mountains or a cottage at the beach IF you can find reservations during that week.

Whatever you do, praying for a safe and speedy return home for your Mr.

Oh gosh what a delima in some ways he probably just can't wait to be home. Then on the other hand you guys need to get aways from it all and just bug out of all things hetic. hmmm good luck with that.

Sea World San Antonio gives free tickets to Active Duty members. SGT DUB qualifies. I will call my cousin down at FT Hood and ask him how to get the tickets.
