We take a week long family vacation every year to the gulf, usually somewhere between Gulf Shores,Alabama- Navarre beach, Florida. The wife used to go yearly with her female teacher friends and always tried to talk me into going on vacation there, never really thought I'd enjoy it but I finally gave in about 8 years ago and I loved it so we go every year now. This will be the first year without our son as he's married now and they've got their own thing going. We rent a condo right on the beach with a gulf view, drink coffee on the balcony in the morning and sit on the beach the rest of the day, maybe drink a few margaritas or a few beers, watch people, cool off in the gulf if we want, nothing special but just relax.
When the weathers nice we also like to get out and ride back roads on Sunday afternoons after church. Usually don't venture more than about 20 miles from the house but see if there's anything new going on. We generally are happy just being together and not having to do anything, we're pretty frugal so we don't go and do alot other than the once a year vacation, but we're content with that.
