This morning, my husband and I sat down with our 2024 calendar and began planning our vacations for this year. Even though we won't be traveling until July, we have to work around so many schedules (scouts, camp, dance recitals & competitions, school) that we need to start planning now.
Our first decision was which long trip we wanted to take this year. We have a good friend who lives about 1800 miles away (27 hours driving, not including breaks) and a relative that lives 950 miles away (about 15 hours driving). We are thinking of visiting the relative, saving the longer vacation for when our children are ready to start visiting colleges.
We also had to decide which of our favorite vacations we would like to repeat. Fourth of July at the family lake house? Santa's Village in the fall? Is there a specific Six Flags we'd like to visit this year?
We're still working on the details, but we have a general idea of what we'd like to do. Hopefully, by the end of the month, we will have everything booked.
How about you?
