This is getting to be so exciting, if it is in July that would work better for me too, i was telling Brad about it lastnight and he reminded me that the girls always have 2 soccer tournaments in June, our kids are finished school around the 24th here.

How about the weekend of the 14th? That would work out so perfectly for us. Then I could just fly back to Utah with the kids and spend time with my mom before leaving Patrick there for the rest of the summer.

True there and any of us with kids in school will be finished by then too. I am sure we will get it all figured out!

We will. I am working on pricing my tickets now and I need to get ahold of my Mom and make sure that she is still ok with Patrick being there for 6 weeks so he can work for my Dad in the resturant. Kids can work at 14 there and he wants to start as soon as he hits 14 on the 17th of July. He wants to save for a car and both Mom and Dad have said he can stay summers with them as long as he wants to work. I would much rather him work summers and be able to hike and hang out with them than have him want to work during the school year.

Wrennie, I have a question for you. Would Newburgh/Stewart, NY airport be closer than Albany or is Albany easier? I have never been to New York before so I have no idea.

Cher, I was checking out Southwest for flights and even though they are not taking reservations out to July, the rate for a 1-way is around $100 through their internet specials. That was out of Portland. Dunno if out of SeaTac is cheaper or not.

Are you all planning a visit to NYC while you are here? How long would you stay in the area?

Probably about 2 weeks total. I do not think I would take them right into NYC but maybe. I do know I will need to go over to Delaware while I am out there to visit my Grandmom. (About a 3 hour drive)

I would probably only stay for the weekend and then I'm thinking of heading to Virginia from there to visit my aunt and cousins. It would be nice to see them, especially since my uncle just left for Iraq last month.

A 3 hour drive from where, Triss??? It took us 6 hours from here, when we went there for summer vacations, and that included an hour ferry ride. Wrennie is almost 2 hours north from here!
EDIT - I just looked at a map - it would depend on where in Delaware, but still - it takes us 2 hours to get to Philly from here, and Wrennie is still almost 2 hours north.

ok - when I did a search, it comes up 4 hours and 15 minutes
if you take the thruway south to the Garden State parkway, as the directions I just found, you'll be going right past my exit!!!

ok - even if you take exit 15 on the NYS Thruway - that is still the town I live in - just the one before the one we usually use!

oooooooooh - if you came this way, would you spend some time? We could take the kids to the Bronx zoo or something! The NY Botanical Gardens are right next door, but I don't think they'd be interested in that! ) They could all camp out in the basement - you could use Brian's bed - it's a twin though.

Triss you better make it 6 weeks.
Chermoni Newburgh/Stewart Airport is closer about 1 1/4 hours Albany is more city-ish and 1 3/4 hours drive (I searched on google-maps for times)

It's a bit early for me to commit as I wouldn't want to get too excited too soon. If this camping trip actually does happen, you can count me in. I would definitely make the trip. It's only about a 9 hour drive for me...I love road trips! (Yoo-hoo...Comfrey....you're coming too. )
