    Places to visit that are not miserably hot in August?

    We love We love Somebody Feed Phil and did watch the Iceland episode. As wonderful as it looks, I don't want to wear a winter coat in the summer either. 70 degrees, shorts and a hoodie is my ideal vacation weather!

    Any Idaho folks out there? Trying to decide between Sandpoint and Couer d'Alene

    We will be flying into Spokane and then driving to Waterton National Park, on our way to Glacier National Park. We want to spend 2 nights in either of these two spots in Idaho. I realize they're only about 45 minutes apart. We want to be able to visit some places like Wallace, and take in some...

    Early fall road trip. Where to?

    We love Pittsburgh. We moved from NJ a very long time ago and apart from visiting family, we never go back. Can’t go wrong with either school! My DD graduated from Pitt (she initially had no interest in going to a city school, but once she got to the Cathedral of Learning, she was hooked)...

    OP here: Thank you for the many great suggestions! I neglected to mention that we've done the NE area. DH and I grew up in NJ and have family in Boston, RI and Connecticut, so we've seen lots of the area.

    Early fall road trip. Where to?

    I'm an elementary school teacher retiring in a little over 2 months. This will be our first year taking a vacation when we want. I'm looking to plan something for early fall with maybe a 2 week maxium. We really enjoy flying into a city and then exploring from there. I'd like to be able to stay...

    Anyone have a bed with built in drawers underneath?

    Since we are in the process of downsizing, we are considering one. If you have one, do you like it? Do things stay clean? Anything I should consider?

    what was your favourite things to do on vacation growing up?

    Just being with my 23 first cousins! All of us together for two weeks at the end of August. Went there every year for 16 years. Best memories! Nothing fancy. Stayed in bungalows, swam, tennis, square dancing, bingo. Just the greatest.
