Vacation Plans for Oct. 4-11

Haha! NO - we don't plan on doing ALL of this, but I just wanted to put an extensive list together of everything my parents or in laws could do if they start complaining they are seeing the same things, and doing the same things. But, I do hope to do this all within the next couple years!

And yes, vacation with my in laws in only 1800 sq ft is a challenge, but the again, that's why I say we all go our seperate ways. But I can say by the end of the trip.......I'm so ready to not see them for weeks. Too bad they live within 10 miles of us!

But regardless, I love the few new ideas people gave me, I'll be sure to add those! But considering I only had a few additions, I think I've done some pretty good research (i'm a little OCD and bored at work.....not a good combination!)

...you have done a great service for us all! I am glad to hear you are not going to try and accomplish your entire list! Have a great time.

I would have never guessed that ;-)

I used to be extremely OCD [about vaca] too. A few kids, many plans gone awry and about 20 years cured that. I get a lot of pleasure just "being" now, being healthy and being able to enjoy life, laughing when things go wrong. It took a lot of screw ups to realize that it's just as important to be able to enjoy yourself when the plans suck as it is when everything goes right. Then you're the fun person to be with, wherever you are.

Actually, going to SoWal is my cure. Nothing beats the most beautiful beach in the world. The hubby and I have tried to go several places to find a better beach and ocean and every time, we just look at each other and ask why we didn't just go back to SoWal? So now we just enjoy going, mainly hanging out at the beach, sleeping, and eating as much food as possible! I always know there will be another trip for the places we didn't eat and another trip for the places we didn't get to go. It's a piece of mind! The list is mainly for the in laws and my parents......so they can get out of our hair and let us enjoy just being a family.

Maybe the real cure for my OCD all the time........moving to SoWal!?!?!?! Hmmm.....only 22 years to go!
