If the title of this post made you think I might actually be cleaning today, you are sadly mistaken (Domestic Goddess that I am). It's actually about vacations within the US that might actually be do-able sometime soon for my family. My sister-in-law, Suzanne came up with this idea. Click on this link to connect to her blog. The top 5 places I would like to go in the continental US:
1. Sanibel Island, FL: I've heard it's beautiful and we have to get Noah to a beach soon!
2. Glacier National Park, MT: I'm dying to drive Going to the Sun Road and I really want to do a backpacking trip there.
3. The Boundary Waters, MN: I know, I've been there, done that a million times, but it is awesome up there and I want to take Noah. Also, my child needs to know how to canoe.
4. San Juan Islands, WA: I know Noah would love to see the whales and I could begin to teach him to kayak.
5. Maine: My friend Josh swears it is the most beautiful place in the US. Mountains, forest, oceans, tons of open space. Sounds like my kind of place.
All this being said, we probably won't do a vacation in the near future because we are saving money for our spring break trip. My sister, Amanda, is going to be an exchange student in Spain second semester next year and we are going to go visit!!! She will be in a smaller town near Madrid. I think it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so I can hold off on the vacays til then!

crap. i forgot about spain. when you figure out when you're going, let us know. i don't know if we have it in the budget but maybe we can swing it. or maybe eric can go since he's never been to europe.
i've never heard of sanibel island, fl but any place w/ a beach has to be good. i'll have to look it up.
maine is one of the few states i haven't been to.
Your post came in my Google Sanibel Alerts, that's why I dropped by. :-)
Sanibel is a great place to vacation. I spent years of vacations there and stayed longer each trip. Four years ago, I just didn't leave and I still love it. I hope you can find time for a visit.
"do-able and domestic" sounds like a porno
