I figure that any hotels that we stay in will be dives - I'm not picky, as long as they have beds and a shower. I don't need the Marriott to make me happy! And mmmmmmmmm chocolate factory....<br /><br />We could actually do Gettysburg - one of my sisters lives in York Springs and I'm sure that we'll be seeing her at some point. Not bringing any bikes though - not enough room in the van!<br /><br />Right now my kids are 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11. By the time we get there, they'll be 4, 5, 7, 10, and 11.

Look for a hole in the wall hotel outside of DC maybe along the metro line. it will save you tons$$. The chocolate factory is free - but have your parents get tickets at Giant in Dillsburg - I think they are cheaper there. I will keep thinking :)Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16225291652604462660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758570882310139920.post-39756224809384191492011-06-04T20:06:40.053-05:002011-06-04T20:06:40.053-05:00LOL Definitely great minds!
My main thing that I ...LOL Definitely great minds!<br /><br />My main thing that I sell is soap - I have a ton of it and it sells really well, but I haven't done any shows since November so it's all still sitting here. I also sell canned stuff in season (apple butter, applesauce, sand plum jelly, pear butter....) and I do some quilting. So, a little bit of everything.<br /><br />And I actually do have a paypal account... ;)<br /><br />I am going to make this trip happen, one way or another. It might be tight, and there might not be a lot of money to spend along the way, but having free places to stay for the majority of it definitely helps matters a lot!!<br /><br />I am not moving again for another 2 years. I have a plan as far as that goes - I didn't plan to move this last time, but we lost the house because of the last divorce, so we didn't have much of a choice in the matter. :( It's better in the long run, because now I don't have to worry about fixing stuff in the house if it breaks - that's what I have a landlord for! ;)Non-Stop Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11019977789459727121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758570882310139920.post-60201899438854955422011-06-04T19:59:56.600-05:002011-06-04T19:59:56.600-05:00So funny Amy, I am just getting ready to post and ...So funny Amy, I am just getting ready to post and I see a post came in from YOU on MY blog! great minds,hm?? <br />What do you sell at craft shows?? You need to set up a paypal account so we can "buy" from you off your blog! I WANT you to get to see your folks (and all the other fun things, but after this year, I can tell you without a doubt, DON'T put it off! Especially if you feel the urge, you NEED to get the kids there to see your parents...you will never have regrets that way.<br />Maybe you can put your energy into "crafting" to help raise the money and put off the "wanderlust" a bit...don't do like me and keep moving (especially with the kids so little! lol I am the QUEEN of moving!)<br />have a great night..<br />maremarejohnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03903554421867897659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758570882310139920.post-4530481424260002232011-06-04T18:22:30.693-05:002011-06-04T18:22:30.693-05:00DC is wonderful!

I really really want to get the kids there - one of the things on tonight's to-do list is to go over the finances again and see where we are on that, then we can start firming up plans!<br /><br />I'm still antsy and ready to go somewhere, but I have to control it so that I don't spend all of our travel money ahead of time! LOL I think we're going to go to a tiny little local lake tomorrow just to get my water fix! ;)Non-Stop Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11019977789459727121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758570882310139920.post-80982662848862425112011-06-04T18:17:51.862-05:002011-06-04T18:17:51.862-05:00We're hoping to make it to DC this summer, too...We're hoping to make it to DC this summer, too. I've never been, which is a shame, since I live so (relatively) close. <br />As for the wanderlust... I get it too. Usually I find myself being transported in a book, since actually going's not an option for me.Teahttp://unsweetenedme.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758570882310139920.post-76339620727178270902011-06-04T12:21:22.150-05:002011-06-04T12:21:22.150-05:00LOL Everyone's going to know as I blog about i...LOL Everyone's going to know as I blog about it. Our plan for the PA portion of the trip is to stay in Dillsburg for a few days (that's home to me) and visit with friends, and then Altoona for a few days (that's where Mom and Dad are). Our biggest expenses other than gas at this point are going to be a hotel around DC for a couple of days and a hotel around Indianapolis on the way back. Out of the 2 weeks, we only have 3, maybe 4 nights with no place to stay, believe it or not!<br /><br />Hershey Park could be a definite possibility! I haven't been there in FOREVER. My parents were never big into the amusement park scene so we just didn't go very often.<br /><br />I absolutely love DC - it is one of my favorite places in the world, and there is so much free stuff there. I can't wait to take the kids to the Smithsonian, and the zoo, and to just walk around the monuments. I think it'll be absolutely amazing for them.<br /><br />Money, money, money - it always boils down to money, doesn't it?

D.C. is a great choice - the zoo is free. You can drive to Shady Grove (the most northern stop on the metro) and for $5 a person each of you can ride the metro all day long. it makes for a really easy day trip. the metro will take you to the zoo or to all of the monuments .. etc. Also - what about Hershey Park? I can look into getting you some discount tickets - they have them everywhere around here. um..... where (aprox) - I'm not going to stalk you - in PA are you headed? I'm the queen of free things to do :)<br />KristenKristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16225291652604462660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758570882310139920.post-42349136679624139872011-06-04T12:03:32.181-05:002011-06-04T12:03:32.181-05:00I know, Granny.

I just have to get the money together - that's part of the reason that we're waiting so late in the summer to go, so that I have time to scrape together my pennies.<br /><br />And after talking to my sister today, I know that I really need to get out there to see my parents. I have to make this work, or I have a feeling that I'm going to regret it. =/Non-Stop Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11019977789459727121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758570882310139920.post-26676876829568380712011-06-04T10:11:13.312-05:002011-06-04T10:11:13.312-05:00THEN JUST PACK UP AND GO.
