I'd LOVE to go camping! I'd do it, but my wife not so much. Maybe glamping. LOL

PS: If our ship comes in, a customized Sprinter will be in the future.

Didn't you catch covid the last time you came out west? What disease are you aiming to get this time?

Possible trip to Santa Barbara in the fall to visit favorite cousin and his husband and their cats.

 

[Hoopguru]

Thinking of pulling trailer down to Carpinteria to meet up with friends and hang out for a week or so then make our way back with a stop at Crater Lake as the highlight of our trip home. No time line once we start and when we end.

 

[twobullz]

My oldest daughter and I are going to the Teton's and Yellowstone. Along the way we are going to visit Idaho State and Montana universities.

In July we are heading to Seattle for a couple of ball games and a visit to Western Washington.

Hopefully through in some camping trips along the way.

I worked there my sophomore summer for a month! Tough work!

[THE HCP]

No vacation plans. Son in college, daughter playing in college soccer ID camps and me not having any work lined up, no budget for vacation. We enjoy just going down to Cannon Beach and relaxing, that is about as exciting as it’s going to get.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Hawaii
Vegas
Seattle/Portland
Dallas
Vegas Bachelor Party

Maybe random San Diego trip

Basically every two weeks is a trip starting Memorial Day weekend

The best wine I've found in Washington state is the Columbia winery in the Red Willow valley. Their reds are a really good buy and their Rieslings are also very good.

Pike Place Market can't be beat. Two restaurants you might want to try are the revolving restaurant at the top of the Space Needle and Elliott's at the Pier which guess is now Elliott's Oyster House. Also, take the tour of the underground area which was flooded a long time ago.
By the way Skid Road came from that area where logs were skidded down to the bay for transporting elsewhere.

So the covid emanates from the west? Figures.

Nada. We believe we contracted it in Branson, MO from an ER nurse friend of my wife.

 

[Charcoal Filtered]

Will have at least one kid that will not be vaccinated before the end of the summer, so no flights anywhere for us. Also think that it is likely we see another surge despite the vaccination rollout, so we want to keep it outdoors and away from crowds. Have two weeks booked at Ocean Shores and another three weeks in Bend. Will probably not do all of them. Have done a lot of National Parks that are within driving distance but looking at options. Veterans getting access for free is pretty nice.

 

[bigbailes]

Thinking about a road trip to NOLA, Memphis and maybe Nashville. Would love to get in a trip back home to actually see friends and family since at Christmas it was just the parents along with sister/bil/niece/nephew.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

I'm going to Lincoln City.

 

[THE HCP]

I'm going to Lincoln City.

Is that your normal spot at the beach?

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Is that your normal spot at the beach?

Yes. Chinook Winds has the cheapest dog friendly rooms at the coast. And the hotel is right on the beach.

 

[THE HCP]

Man, when I go to the beach, or vacation or anywhere, I don't want to see ANYBODY. Try to head for the smallest quietest places we can find. Must be cause I'm gettin old.

Or you don't want to be blown up.

I’ll be in Sunriver for Memorial Day weekend.

NOLA and Nashville are two of my most recent best trips in the US. NOLA is probably my favorite city for culture.

I love New Orleans, only been once but it was a great spot. I've always wanted to go to Memphis, much more than Nashville, but we kind of figure with Nashville being a couple hours away and family living there, might be worth the extra drive to just cross it off the list.

 

[MickZagger]

I’m staying at the Scappoose Inn for a couple nights.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Going to spend a big chunk of the summer in Hawaii. Might be a pain with work, but I expect to go 2-3 times, 3 weeks or so each time.

We’ll definitely go to the Oregon Coast for a long weekend and up to Mt. Hood 2-3 times as well.
