Summer plans anyone?

[anathelia]

Ooh. Well, I turn 23 a week from today. Then we're moving into our new place on the 18th. My brother's best friend is flying into town for a few weeks tonight because my brother graduates high school on Thursday.

Other than that, we're probably trying to work something out to take a family trip to Sedona for a few days this summer (without babies, whoo hoo!), and I'll be working my butt off trying to get in shape. I've got a lot of weight to lose, and a lot of in shape to get. I'm looking forward to doing the Warrior Dash next year.

Get Dean swimming lessons, take him camping and too the zoo, but just staying in Miami. I am hopefully going to be able to make it to California to see my older sister, but that is TBD!

It's more of a plan for my son to enjoy his summer break. He's going to either Chicago or Texas for a month 1/2 to stay with friends. IF not then we plan to do a long drive to Grand Canyon en route to Las Vegas and Hoover Dam. The rest of his other weeks off and on my days off- visit Joshua Tree and other National Parks- Redwood National Park etc. Might go back to Yosemite for some camping fun if time allows

I wanna also drive again the Pacific Coastal freeway from SoCal to Monterey ( North) . I wanna go see lots of beaches, seal coves etc driving that route! That sure was an awesome road trip the last time :thumbup

The Petrified Forrest is really cool from what I remember. While you are out that way. Check out the Painted Desert. That is amazing.

Death Valley was nice, but the drive to get there..(I went from Las Vegas) I thought i would see more. thre was only three of us on the tour, driving back to the hotel I saw Joshua trees, and the Red Rocks..

 

[NuckingFuts]

Speaking of Red Rocks. I think we may go back up to Sedona AZ. I try to go once a year at least just to unwind.

I enjoy driving my own that doing tours altho one learn a lot from the tours. Did you enjoy Joshua Tree? We didnt roam the whole park. I wanna see where that lake is by a hidden valley, I think :cool

Where's red Rocks?

Oh! Sedona was the place we were supposed to visit from that cancelled trip last January.I'm sure not to cancel this time :ninja

I was in Sedona for New Years. So much snow, yet so much fun. My son loved it because we really dont get snow here in my part of AZ. Also from Sedona the Grand Canyon is about 2 hours north west.

I heard it's a very relaxing place. Most movie stars I think have vacation homes in Sedona
