In which pictures don’t load and vacations need to happen.
Well, my little bloggy has decided not to cooperate with me this morning and won’t load any of the pictures I want to show you from yesterday. While we wait for it it get its little act together, I have a question for y’all: after Katie’s wedding in June, Cate, myself and one of our college friends want to go on a little vaycay together because we have some vacation days that need to be used. Do you have any ideas of good, cheap places we could go, preferably with a beach nearby?
Or a Shamu nearby. Just saying.
Y’all typically have better ideas than me, so I thought it was worth asking.

If you do go to SW, if you take your ticket to the ticket counter once you are through the turnstiles, they will give you a second day pass for free… Yes, free… but I think you have to use it within 7 days.

Check out Anna Maria Island on the Florida Gulf Coast, our family loves to vacation there. We stay at a place called The Tortuga Inn (http://www.tortugainn.com/). You’d be just a short drive to Shamu as well!

Charleston is always nice this time of year. 
And it’s near the beach. There is an aquarium, but no Shamu. You can also check out http://www.vrbo.com to rent places directly from owners…sometimes if they have a vacancy they’ll fill it for less than a week last minute. It’s worth looking into.

Yaaaay, Orlando!!!! That’s where I live
We have Mickey, Universal, Shamu (who is amazing…during the summer they have Shamu after Dark which is my son’s favorite show that they have!), not to mention….THE HOLY LAND EXPERIENCE! Seriously, you just cannot go wrong with our side of town

I don’t think you emphasized the cheap enough AB.

The only cheap places I know are in Canada. Which is a little far for you to be going. Plus, no Shamu.
Happy beach hunting.

Definitely MB. For rizzle. Lisa, Keri, Joy and I got a very nice hotel directly on the beach with a king bed and a pull out sofa for only $42 a night. It also had an efficiency kitchen and three swimming pools, and a hot tub!!!!

Cruises are great! My husband and I just took one and it ended up being about $250/person (with all the FREE buffets, 24 hour ice cream & pizza, and room service you could ask for!). Definitely check into one!

Howsabout Charleston, SC. You guys can stay at our little place on your way and save money on at least one hotel Oh, and I can meet you. So it’s win-win.

Come to Va. Beach! When “beach” is in the name of the city, you know you can’t go wrong!

You mentioned Sham, so I thought I’d suggest… http://www.chattairport.com, fly Allegiant to Orlando (you just have to check the blackout dates, but tickets are $58 ROUND TRIP), Priceline a hotel for you and the girls, and call about tickets to SW. Go visit the Orca… I think that’s definitely the vacay you need!
