Vacations

I was watching television tonight and they were playing what seemed like a million vacation commercials. With the economy the way it is, everyone is trying to get tourists to spend their money. The dreams just started coming.

Mount Rushmore is somewhere we would really love to go. I think South Dakota is beautiful. I love the ruggedness of the land, the plains and the mountains coming together. And how genius is it to carve faces out of a mountain. I'm not happy it's carved into the side of the mountain. You can't tell me it didn't affect the landscape, and I don't just mean the faces.

I think it probably took alot more work than we think. First the planning, the designing, the deciding, the planning, the implemeting, the stress. Can you imagine the consequences if you are off just by an inch? Roosevelt might not have a nose. Or Washington may have a mustache. You can't just put the mountain back and start all over. It is an incredible piece of engineering artwork.

I would love to take an adults only to a very private, tropical island. You know the one. The one with the cute bungalow and small pool and hot tub. The one with a dock out over the warm, green waters of the Pacific Ocean. The one with the hut at the end of the dock. The island where we can have lots and lots of hot, nasty, loud, sweaty sex. The kind of sex that you lose ten pounds in a week because you don't eat, you just have sex. Hold on, I'm getting a visual.

I would love to take the donkeys into the Grand Canyon and camp for a night. In a cabin, I should say. I'm not into real camping. I have been to the Grand Canyon twice and loved both times. The majesty and beauty of the grace and glory of God. The magnificence of nature and all that includes. I think the kids would find it incredibly cool.

Our dream is to visit all 50 states. But that is a dream that will have to be put on hold. Once we win the lottery or come into an inheritance of some kind, it is so on. Sell the house and all our stuff and buy a motor home. Home school on the road would be way cool. That is such a great way to spend our days.

Hubby and I have always had wandering feet. The fact that we have lived in the same area as long as we have is amazing to us. We love to be on the road and just go. Wherever we end up is where we end up. Think of the things we could see and the knowledge we could gain.

Where is your dream vacation? Do you like the mountains, the beach, or both? Do you like to rough it in a tent or rough it in Motel 6? Where would you like to wind up?
