When is school out for your kids?

Well, my daughter got out today (8th grade graduation) and my son finishes Thursday, May 19th. We usually come down on that next weekend but I was in a pretty serious car wreck last October and am still recovering. We are coming down in August though and we are all counting the days. We absolutely love the area...thanks to all who work so hard to keep it beautiful for us yearly visitors.

Hope you are feeling better. We like August the best for family vacations, especially if you get here the 2nd or 3rd week in August when it quiets down. You get all the benefits of the area in summer, but with fewer crowds. That's when we take the kids to the Big Kahunas, the sealife place in Panama City (sorry, forgot the name but the dolphin and bird show is great for kids), and eat out more. We're going for the first time in July this year and will get a taste of the busy season. We expect to spend most of our time at the beach, pool, and front porch and don't expect to get on the road much.

July is wild - especially the 4th. Like the all-american vacation times 10.

:clap_1: School is out in Knoxville, TN on 5/23. We are "empty nesters" and our 2 weeks of ecstasy start on 10/8 (after the little ones are back in for next year). Just got back yesterday from Myrtle Beach. Don't like the area, however we go for Harley Bike Week. Can't wait until October!!!

Here in St. Louis, MO, the kids (mine anyway) are done May 26th. We're heading down Friday June 3rd as soon as I possibly can get done at work. We stop for the night in Huntsville, and hit the road for the last leg early early. We also like to get to the beach in time to enjoy the day Saturday. This is our first trip to the area--usually our whole family goes to Gulf Shores, but half of the family wanted to try Florida for a change.

I can't wait!!
