Disney at the end of June...first time for both me and my five year old. :doh:

Then you must learn about fast passes, sun block, and turkey legs.

If you are going in June- take something to rehydrate with or the park will cost a fortune in drinks, and the water fountains produce foul tasting water, as does the rest of Orlando.

Good advice...thanks. I've been picking the brains of anyone I know who has been there.

You're taking Mariano Rivera on your honeymoon? :doh:

 

We rent a house on Martha's Vineyard for a couple of weeks every summer. Heaven. Especially the lobster.

Dude...love the Outer Banks!  Have vacationed many times in Kill Devil Hills/Kitty Hawk.  Love that area down there, though the beaches have been beat up pretty bad over the years by all the storms.

Going to OBX for a week in June - up near Corrolla. Been doing it for the past 6 yrs or so. We invite our whole family - my siblings are scattered all over the country so it is a nice way for all the kids to spend quality time with thier cousins, aunts/uncles and grandparents.

 

Otherwise most weekends in the summer are spent camping or going to the beach (Wilmington)

KDH and Kitty Hawk are nice (and fun!), but many of us quasi-locals (in Va Beach) seem to be drawn to Ocracoke.

 

It's close, small, relatively quite, and the beaches are all protected from development (and well maintained) by the US Parks Service. Mrs Campy and l drive the Jeep a few miles up the beach, find a nice little dune to chill-out on, get the portable grill going, have a few beers, and just leave life behind for a little while...

 

...I'm feeling more mellow just thinking about it! :doh:

I will certainly keep that in mind.

 

We will only be "on the beach" three days. I am driving down June 30 and driving home July 4th. Seeya soon for a plate. :doh:

That sounds great. Trouble with going to the OBX for me is that it's a at least 12 hours from where I live (near NYC), so we end up breaking it into two days down and two back. Love it down there, but the trip is tough.

 

The last two summers we've been going to Barneget Light on the Jersey Shore. Absolutely beautiful there.
