vacation

Great wineries, camping, miles of lakes with sandy beaches, golf, cherries, amazing food and loads of family fun await you when you travel North on vacation and visit Traverse City, Michigan! It just so happens to be my hometown.

I'm not sure why I thought I might get to rest while I was on vacation but it didn't happen!  My second day off I get a call from my boys dad asking me to come get our middle son because he needs to go to the hospital.  This is what happened!

Just when you thought 'Community' ensured Chevy Chase would be out of our hair for a while and the Ed Helms continuation of National Lampoon's 'Vacation' franchise had collapsed, in comes ABC with a TV reunion of the famous road trip family's parents, Chevy Chase and Beverly D'Angelo!

It looks like Ed Helms and Christina Applegate won't be taking that 'Vacation' they've been planning anytime soon. New Line has delayed the reboot, citing "creative differences."

A new 'Vacation' film has been in the works, with Ed Helms taking the lead as Rusty Griswold, but he won't be going it alone: veteran stars Chevy Chase and Beverly D'Angelo are in talks to reprise their roles in the latest installment of the series.

Until our daughter mentioned it I had no idea what a zipline was. After Karen explained it to us, something about hanging in trees and zipping around like a dememted Tarzan, I said "sounds like fun, why dont you make a reservation and go". She made reservations for three, Karen, her Mother and Me. Me? I'm too big, too old, too gray, not tipsy enough. Any excuse will work. Daughter Karen
