FAVORITE VACATION SPOT

Leah's favorite vacation spot has to be on the ocean -- any ocean - as long as i can see the water as far as i can see and hear the waves hitting the shore. i don't want to swim in it and i don't want to sunbathe near it - i just need to see it and hear it. We've only vacationed in Galveston and Port Aransas, and are headed for Rockport this year. Someday we hope to make it to San Diego and to the east coast.
 * Marcy's favorite place is Victoria and the ferry ride to Vancouver Island. Spectacular scenery and the beautiful Butchart Gardens are magnificent.
 * Liz: Colorado, Maine and Cruise to Carribean; toss-up.
 * Kiera's favorite vacation spot - Not being much of a traveler, I can't really answer this question. From the few places I have been, upstate New York (Cooperstown area) is absolutely gorgeous, Phoenix is fabulous and the Grand Canyon is one of those sites you just have to see at least once in your lifetime. Where would I like to go....hmm...will have to get back with you on that one!
 * The Guybrarian's favorite vacation spot is Seattle, Washington. My wife and I went their for our 10th Wedding anniversary. It was terrific. Good mass transit to get around, nice parks, Pikes Place Market was where we went everyday. Saw an eagle catching fish and went whale watching.
 * BG's favorite spots are National Parks of Canada, Yellowstone/Grand Teton area and the Bermuda Islands!
 * Julie's Favorite Vacation Spot--My husband and I went to New Orleans during Spring Break last year and had a wonderful time! We took three historical walking tours, rode the cable cars to get from one place to the other, rode the paddle wheel boat on the Miss., toured two beautiful plantations, and ate tons of delicious food (my favorite treat was cafe au lait and beignets at Cafe Du Monde). If you have never been, I highly recommend it.
 * Beth's favorite is British Columbia, Canada. Love Victoria, Sooke and surrounding communities on Vancouver Island. Also love Vancouver and the drive from there to Whistler. We have traveled quite a bit, but the beauty and awesome summer weather of BC makes for a perfect vacation. So much to do outdoors and good eating too.
 * Brenda's favorite vacation spot is Boykin Springs. I'm really a country girl at heart. It's nestled in the Angelina National Forest in East Texas. There's a springfed lake and a meandering large stream to cool your heels.There are a couple of waterfalls that feed into the stream. It's very lush and green and rocky. There are lots of hiking trails to explore. It reminds me of the mountains. It's very isolated so not many people know about my little corner of paradise. If you wish to stay overnight there is a really nice, quiet, but well equipped campground with real toilets that flush and showers as well. I must warn you though, there is lots of wildlife and you may hear wolves and coyotes howling at night. It can make the hairs stand up on your neck.
 * CT - The Texas Hill Country. Love the scenery. Colorado was my favorite when I was a kid. My family and I camped out alot.
 * Angela's favorite vacation has been Colorado in the summer. We went rafting, took the train to Silverton from Durango, went hiking, rode the alpine slides all day, etc...it was the best!!!


 * My favorite and most relaxing place to visit is Lake Tahoe. Dana
 * Nancy - I'm with Leah... read what she said about the ocean!
 * Carolyn here: a few years back our family drove to the Grand Teton Mountains in Wyoming. The massive boulders and riots of color made such an impression on us. The geysers bubbling, spewing, simmering in their pools of alien color added to our visit. Since we stayed in campgrounds and slept in tents or on the bed of our truck, we really got to experience the park.
 * Lea Ann-My favorite changes, but I'll haul off and go to the U.K. every chance I get. One of the reading teachers here and I are planning a trip to Scotland next Spring Break. We are both half-hoping for another Icelandic volcano to keep us there a few extra days.
