Thoughts for Thursday-Vacations

With an upcoming vacation for Michael and I, I thought that will be my topic for today. Michael and I take at least one vacation a year, where we get on an airplane and go somewhere. We started this in January 2005, when we went to Philadelphia to see the Vikings play the Eagles in a playoff game. It was my idea to take the trip to see the Vikings. We have now planned a vacation each year around the Vikings, which has included trips to Seattle, San Francisco and Dallas. We have also been to Florida a couple of times together, which is also the destination of our upcoming trip. We will see the Vikings play Tampa Bay on November 16th and drive across the state to see them play Jacksonville the following week. We also have taken a road trip to the Black Hills in South Dakota and numerous trips up to the North Shore. I have been to 17 states and have been to Canada a few times. I would love to take a vacation to a tropical location, outside of the United States. I've always wanted to go to Mexico and I can't believe that I still haven't been there. I really want to go to Turks and Caicos after seeing pictures from Michael's friends' vacation but I from what I understand the islands suffered major damage from one of the hurricanes this year. I would also like to go to Tahiti, again after seeing pictures from another person's vacation.

Do you go on vacation? How often? Where do you go? By car or plane? Do you travel outside of the United States? Who do you go with? Where is your dream destination?

I will link other TFT's as they get posted.

I LOVE vacation! I travel as much as possible... which isn't as much as I want!
I, too, have traveled for Vikings games (Cincinnati, Chicago, Detroit), which as been amazing in itself!
I've also been to NYC, San Fran, and many other cities by way of an old long distance relationship that allowed me to travel to many places.
As I posted a while back, I also love to road trip.. and I've seen a lot of our great country through the road!
I've seen Canada and Mexico and I have great wants to see many other countries!!

You have been to so many places!!!!!!! FUN!

I love vacations too! Without kids it is easy to just up and leave whenever we want to.

We try to go to Mexico every year as we have a time share at a resort there. We also go to Las Vegas every Spring and this Fall we are going to Greece.

Although, next year I am going to make a vacation plan just to see places in our State. People from all over the Country visit here and half of the vacation hot spots we have never even been to ourself.

Oh and I also do a Girls Trip with my sisters to go see Keith Urban in Concert. The last two were in Las Vegas and then Pennsylvania. My hubby also does a dad and brother family trip to New York to see the Yankees. They started it this year and would like to make it a tradition.

Although, with the economy we are trying to be very careful with money so our vacations may just be in our State next year.

Sunday Dec 7 you can visit Detroit and see your team play there. I hear the motor city is beautiful that time of year…

I go on vacations quite often actually, Brian and I try to go at least once a year, but sometimes end up going several. I do a girls trip to a scrapbooking cabin 2 times a year, and another girls vacay once a year. That's a lot for having 3 kids! I love to travel, I can't stop because I have kids, I hope that I can incorporate that love in my kids.

I don't go on vacation anymore and it sucks. Our vacations consist of the North Shore once a year. I would like to travel more for sure and plan to improve in that area and take family vacations somewhere out of state soon. I have been to Canada and 17 states. I sometimes travel for my job and flew over 15 times last summer alone. I think I'm going to take a Carribean Cruise for my 30th!
