Family Vacation Idea

I think I ran the idea by most everyone of having a family vacation every other summer so that everyone could be there.

As expected, Dad had an "idea" which I, personally, think is a pretty good one...here goes!

Time of year: Feb - March

Place: Lake Havasu (bear with me)

Pros:
Usually we are willing and looking for a way to escape the dark, dull, dreary, rainy days and nights here in WA, while those in CA wouldn't have to travel far at all!
Cheaper to vacation during that time of year vs summer.
Ken Marsh...yep, I said it! You know he had to come into play eventually! We could take advantage of his toys such as a few waverunners, "party" boat (one of those flat ones that holds like 15 people), come and go from his pool, etc, etc.

**The thought is to attempt to locate a "monster" house on or very near the lake that could handle us. I know this might sound impossible, but you never know.

Here's where you all come in: I need to know how many people are interested in entertaining this idea and then dad and I would start the research should there be enough. Let me know your thoughts as well and other ideas you have.

okay, to add to this and maybe tweak your interests, check out this "example" of a retreat we could all get away to. http://www.homeaway.com/vacation-rental/p174552 For those of you that like the math done this would cost us $3500 for the week and breaks down to about $175/adult. Just an idea....

  2. Denice and Joel and their two offspring also love the idea of getting everybody together in a warm climate, and this house looks sweet! Count us in. With advance planning, anything is possible!

  3. I am in...hopefully my hardworking-highflying-military"serving" husband will be able to make it as well. BTW/FYI The flat "party" boat that holds like 15 people is called a pontoon boat. more casually referred to as a "Tooner".

    What are the christmas plans? Are we going to take on the northwest's best indoor soccer players in the xmas tourney this year?
