Where Should I go?

When our kids are released from school for their summer vacation, all we seem to be doing all summer long, is trying to entertain them.

Now that they are getting older, they spend most of their time with friends.

We still like to get in a week and a couple weekends where it is just our family. Although we have family that lives close to Tampa, Florida, it had been a while since we had been there. We thought that if we took the kids to Tampa, Florida, we could spend a couple nights with our relatives and save a bit of money. We knew we would be buying our food, souvenirs, and needing money for entertainment. We thought visiting our family would save us some money so we could afford to do more. We talked to the kids about Tampa, Florida, and they were thrilled. Our youngest wanted to go on the boat trip and see the dolphins. My wife was happy to just do things as a family. Our oldest two wanted to go to Weeki Wachee Spring so they could see the mermaids. My son smiled over seeing mermaids, and I’m sure he was picturing swimming with them since he is fifteen. We’ll be heading to Tampa, Florida in the middle of June and we know it is going to be warm. We’ll be looking for some indoor activities, like the exhibits at the Florida aquarium. We’ll be doing a lot of visiting to the various springs that are in the area. We know we’ll be making a lot of memories with our kids. We still had memories from when we were there for our tenth anniversary.
