DH and I go to Las Vegas 2 or 3 times a year. We're going again a month from today!  We also take a few day trips within the state - Estes Park, Black Hawk, Denver.

We're cruising to Alaska this summer. 
We did this last summer and it was beyond fabulous. My dh wants to go back this summer but I can't bring myself to spend that much money again so soon!
We don't have a real vacation planned so far. We're going for a long weekend (reunion) in Virginia at the end of April, and to Chicago for a weekend event in May. My dd has 2 school trips in March - one to a Model U.N. in NYC and another to the Florida Keys for an environmental/adventure trip. We want to go somewhere for spring break but she just wants to stay home after all of that!! Dh and I may leave the kids and go to New Orleans for a few days. 
ETA that I also go on a girls' weekend every summer with my grad school housemates. This year we MAY go to a house in France that one of the girls and her dh bought 2 years ago. (Obviously we'd go for more than a weekend.) I am so  on that one!!

Estes Park was the first trip dh and I took together... we loved it. I also spent a summer working in Denver while I was in school. I love Colorado!!

This year is different for us. We decided as a family no WDW until the new part of the park is built. Instead, we will be in Vegas in Aug for DH company meetings. I plan to take the kids to see stuff while he is working. Then we will drive to see the grandparents in Scottsdale. I want to take them by the Grand Canyon again because they were so little the first time.
Ive also rented a beach house on the ocean because it was inexpensive. As a child my mom always took me to the ocean for a week in the summer. It is one of my fondest memories. I played all day until darkness. Went back and had crab, and corn on the cob in the evening and watched the sunset.
DH has to go to Pittsburg sometime too, so I plan on taking the kids once because we have done a lot of studying about the founding of America and George Washington.
Then sometimes this year or beginning of next we are going to Puerto Rico to the Waldorf Astoria for a week for DHs company awards. Dont know what we will do except beach bum while he is off getting awards, but it will be awesome!!

Not much, since I am still looking for a job. 
We were going to D.C. since dh and I both have relatives in the area, but decided to wait on that until next year when hopefully I will be gainfully employed again.
We are taking a car trip during spring break up to San Fran. with stops in Solvang, Monterey and Santa Cruz.

We have 4 round trip tickets to use but since I got injured at work and am on restricted at work and off so I am not sure if we are going to get to use them. In a perfect world and with money we would go to Vegas and Aruba again.

Well, the thing I'm the most excited about is that we're doing a 'short farm stay' to work for 3-4 hours a day in exchange for room & board. I think it'll be a wonderful experience for the kids!

We're also visiting my mom in FL and swinging by Disney with our free volunteer tickets.
Visiting family in Santa Barbara, CA for a long weekend.
Going up North to stay in a friend's cabin.
Going to the Smokeys.
Most of these are gifts/trades with family members.

Very cool! 
I'd love to do something like this with DD(16), maybe while we're touring colleges.  She wants to be a vet and I saw a few "farms" I think she would be interested in volunteering at for a few days.

We just went to Riviera Maya in Mexico, south of Cancun, in December.
I took the boys to Colorado last month to visit family and the Air Force Academy.
We fly to Palm Springs at the end of the month, with a little jaunt to Park City for skiing.
DS wants to go somewhere for his senior trip so we are working on that next.

This summer, we will be going to Japan, Australia and Hong Kong. We may also visit Washington, DC. It's possible we'll take a couple of small trips to nearby states to check out a couple colleges DD is interested in, but that's up in the air.

We're waiting for the sale to go through for the rental property we bought in Destin, FL. It's a short sale and we signed a contract back in October. As soon as all is cleared (getting close) we are going to try to go down for closing. We go there most every year for vacation, so now it will be nice to have our own place
Reading this cruise makes me itch for Vegas & another cruise. Last year we also went to Alaska and we LOVED it! I'd also love to do the Panama Canal at some point. I've got the new Norweigen Epic on my radar - maybe next fall???

Last year I went to Erie. Year before, Erie. This year...Erie? 
DS is moving to Annapolis, so...
Maybe when the fishies who mentioned Pittsburgh come here we can meet! 
Seriously, I need a vaca so badly. But Im not getting one unless I drive to it myself & pay for it myself...
If the moves to Utah, maybe I'll go there for a few days. MAYBE.

Tangled up in all their lives of all the folks I know, I'd like to just let go.....
