We tried very hard to plan a vacation this summer. We had hoped on a week in Washington so I could further my plan to get the FP Gal to fall in love with a town out there so we could move. No go. Partly because of money, probably more because Relia is just not easy to travel with right now.
Instead we are going to stay around here and enjoy a little stay-cation. We did this back in 2006 and had lots of fun. We planned for something each day and had a very good time. We hope to do the same this year but we need help. That's where you come in.
1) We need advice. We're looking at things to do either in the Cities or just a day trip away from here. Keep in mind that we'll have an almost two year old with us. It'll happen over the last week of July. What should we do?
2) We could also use some volunteers for babysitters. If anyone out there wants to take Relia overnight that would help us greatly. It might let us expand to something a little further away or at least later at night. (Offer extends to family and friends only.)
Don't worry, we'll blog the whole time and take tons of pictures. In fact, I've got a silly little project that I might throw in to liven the whole time up. We'll see. Anyway, we could use some help, especially with advice.

If you want to go to the black hills, Kate's Stay and Play is always open!
I was about to say "What about the Black Hills?" My entire family just got back from a week in Spearfish and while the weather wasn't exactly hospitable, they did have a great time together. They stayed at the KOA...I guess they have little cabins there that wouldn't be too expensive. And wireless internet! At the KOA, that kills me! I spent almost every summer in the Black Hills...there's a lot to see and do, even with an almost two-year-old.
Funny - my family is in the black hills this weekend. They just called from the Mammoth Museum & were about to go to Evan's Plunge tonight. My mom was saying how everything is so dang cheap & it was not very busy. Could be fun?
LOL about friends & family only. Dang I wish we were closer - we'd love to babysit your sweetie for a night or two! (how about Chicago? you could drop her off on the way!)
Meigan we've thought about Chicago but we'd fly there. And Relia is just too young to parachute. Yet.
make sure you pencil in the puppet show on July 30th in our back yard!
Come to Duluth! Oh wait, you're doing that THIS WEEKEND! Wheeeeee!
