All you guys, you have to come to El Salvador.
Great beaches, great moutains, summer all year ’round.

We’ve been taking the “official Smith family summervacation” during Spring Break - cheaper rates and all. During the summer the kids spend a couple of weeks at grandparents, my wife work a week of youth camp (oldest daughter goes this year). We will go to Daytona Beach for a denominational talent event. I’m only responsible for one student so I’m taking the family. Hotel on the beach - mini vacation there. Then we take advantage of day trip events and then end the summer with 3 days at our favorite resort in Myrtle Beach.

Love reading your stuff by the way.

thanks

My wife and i just got back from a week in Nashville, TN. As a worship and music pastor, I love going to here live music and there is no place better for it.

I’m a single, 20-something, interim youth pastor whose “interimship” will be over July 1st, so I plan on going somewhere in July. Craig (and others), what did you do for vacation when you were single?

Any suggestions for a single man to take a vacation by himself would be appreciated! =)

The Creation Museum in Kentucky is worth a stop. Checkout http://www.answersingenesis.org for directions.

Really cool for both kids AND parents!

It’s winter in Australia, so we don’t get a summer break this time of the year… although Miles appears to be enjoying his hahah, we just need more surf. The book looks a good read craig!
For His Kingdom and Glory men!

Does selling my house, leaving my secure job and the town I’ve lived in forever, to plant a church in another state count as vacation? Looking forward to it more than any summer break I ever have had!!

Last month went to the outer banks of NC (Emerald Isle)to enjoy down time before the move!! Great place!

Just finished our second day at Silver Dollar City (Branson) with our granddaughter. We will meet the whole family near San Antonio in a couple of weeks. When you are retired and full-time RVing it seems like vacation all the time!

We only live 1.5 hours from Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg so won’t be doing that. We went to Hermosa Beach, Laguna Beach & San Diego last year. That was a blast.

This year we are doing Panama City Beach & Mobile, AL. We live in NC. I like white sand and clearer water versus brown sand on our coast. I’ve never been to the gulf so I’m excited about a new adventure. And we usually fly on vacation, but this time it is actually cheaper to drive. So it’s also our first road trip!

Next year I think we are doing Boston during the ACC baseball tournament so we can hopefully see Carolina and the Red Sox at Fenway (my husband’s idea).

We’ll hit the beach in San Diego as usual. We go bayside to avoid the people and the ocean waves that knock our kids over. Last year the only people the whole length of the bayside beach were us and a single mom and her son. Now, that is relaxing!

Since I already live in “God’s country” I don’t need to go anywhere else. ;) I would highly recommend going to the northern part of Vancouver Island, British Columbia. We have some of the best fishing in the world - just ask George Bush Sr., Tom Cruise or Oprah. :) I might even know someone who could take you fishing … ;)

Since we already live in sunny CA and since gas prices are approachig the $5 mark, we’ll probably stay local and possibly postpone our vacation till Fall. In the meantime, I’m doing some day-hikes with my kids in the Sierras and Bay Area. We’ll probably end up spending a few days in Santa Cruz. Love the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk - best deep-fried twinkies in the world!

Tennessee last summer…White Water rafting, Hiking in the Smokey Mountains and mountain top cabin with my wife (best vacation ever)

This summer it’s off to Chicago for some baseball, museums, and family fun at the zoo…followed by some time with family in Michigan and a couple of nights on Lake Michigan with my wife.

Taking 2 Sundays off this year for the first time since we started BridgeWay…Should be a blast!

I love to go to any beach in North Carolina but mainly Topsail Island - it’s the best! This is the first time in 5 years that we’re not going to a North Carolina beach.

This year we are going to see family in Texas which will be fun but it’s not the beach.

A bad day at the beach is better than a good day anywhere else.

Just got back from a week in Southern Cal. Love the weather there. Spent some time in Laguna and took our 3 year old to 2 days of Disney. We had a great time.
