I'm due in July, and will be taking maternity leave for the summer. DH and I have discussed potentially renting a little place, and enjoying a long weekend up in wine country. However, that will totally depend on DD being healthy, mellow, and up for the adventure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-not-going-on-any-summer-vacations/page/2#post-815706 Wed, 29 May 2013 14:09:54 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 815706@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Were thinking about canceling ours! We just got back today from vacation an it was SO HARD and tiring with a LO. DS is so used to our schedule and his bed that, he basically was a mess the whole time.<br /> We have a trip planned during the first week of July and DH and I are both thinking about canceling and moving it to the winter so DS will be older....not old enough to take, but old enough to leave with the grandparents!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-not-going-on-any-summer-vacations/page/2#post-815618 Wed, 29 May 2013 13:42:48 +0000 betsyboop 815618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't have any vacations planned for the summer either, just weekend travel to visit friends in different parts of the country. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-not-going-on-any-summer-vacations/page/2#post-815493 Wed, 29 May 2013 13:07:39 +0000 HLK208 815493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! No vacation except maybe a short road trip to the beach or a lake. The summer is DH's busy time at work and if we want to take a vacation, we have to go during the winter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-not-going-on-any-summer-vacations/page/2#post-815484 Wed, 29 May 2013 13:04:53 +0000 regberadaisy 815484@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: you can always come visit ME!

We've been trying to book a trip to NYC in August, but that looks like that's going to fall through as well.</p> <p>We're supposed to be invited to my cousins wedding that is out of state, so if everything works out we'll go for a long weekend and consider that our vacation! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-not-going-on-any-summer-vacations/page/2#post-815421 Wed, 29 May 2013 12:48:46 +0000 MsMini 815421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are skipping a summer roadtrip this year, and going to Jamaica in the fall instead. I haven't had a "real" vacation in like 5 years, so I have definitely earned a long tropical trip for my 30th birthday! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-not-going-on-any-summer-vacations/page/2#post-815376 Wed, 29 May 2013 12:32:22 +0000 plantains 815376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No vacation for us this year. We took two last year and just bought our first place a couple of months ago so we are in savings mode right now trying to bounce back. We are taking a vacation from vacations. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-not-going-on-any-summer-vacations#post-815025 Wed, 29 May 2013 10:22:56 +0000 littlebittyhouse 815025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No vaca for us. We have a week up in the mountains planned for October and DH was just asked to be in a wedding in FL in Nov (waves at @kjpugs) so we are trying to figure out what to do because we cannot do both :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-not-going-on-any-summer-vacations#post-815018 Wed, 29 May 2013 10:20:01 +0000 BelugaBean 815018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're hoping to go away for a long weekend but we're not sure it'll happen yet. I really want to go though and keep pushing it so I'm hoping it happens. The last time we've been on vacation was our honeymoon in March 2011 so it's been a while. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-not-going-on-any-summer-vacations#post-814946 Wed, 29 May 2013 09:51:17 +0000 sunny 814946@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think we are going anywhere the rest of the year! :-(</p> <p>We might go to visit my family for Christmas though!</p> <p>I can't complain too much though. We took a pretty fabulous trip in March! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-not-going-on-any-summer-vacations#post-814938 Wed, 29 May 2013 09:49:15 +0000 yellowbird 814938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're going to the beach for a week at the end of July. I think we will meet my family at a lake house for a long weekend in August probably. I would like to do more, but I want to save my vacation time for winter! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-not-going-on-any-summer-vacations#post-814929 Wed, 29 May 2013 09:45:43 +0000 Foodnerd81 814929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is due at the end of July, so I guess my maternity leave will be my vacation. DH's grandmother lives on Cape Cod, though, which is less than 2 hours away, so we will probably go out to visit her for a long weekend at least--not exactly a vacation, staying with your husband's grandmother, but still, it will be time at the beach! </p> <p>We did our last *real* vacation before baby back in March, so I can't complain. And my mat leave starts two weeks before my due date so I'm counting that as my vacation time :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-not-going-on-any-summer-vacations#post-814884 Wed, 29 May 2013 09:31:59 +0000 autumnlove 814884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are lame too but my maternity leave has been relaxing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-not-going-on-any-summer-vacations#post-814813 Wed, 29 May 2013 09:11:23 +0000 SugarplumsMom 814813@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We normally take winter vacations, not summer. But the last few times were visiting my mom and family and it doesn't really feel like a vacation, especially since I'm doing all the driving cause DH isn't used to the traffic. </p> <p>There's a tentative plan to go on a short road trip this summer, but I honestly hate road trips, so we'll see how that goes. I'm pushing for a REAL vacation this upcoming winter. But that's more than a few months away! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-not-going-on-any-summer-vacations#post-814801 Wed, 29 May 2013 09:06:41 +0000 ValentineMommy 814801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and I have never been on a vacation together. Ever. We cancelled our honeymoon because we got pregnant instead and wanted to save money. :( </p> <p>Now with the LO, we just can't justify the cost of anything except diapers lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-not-going-on-any-summer-vacations#post-814793 Wed, 29 May 2013 09:02:40 +0000 regberadaisy 814793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ash: good choice!<br /> @Pepper: lucky! I was really hoping to travel with LO (as in fly) before she turns 2. I don't think that is going to happen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-not-going-on-any-summer-vacations#post-814790 Wed, 29 May 2013 09:00:18 +0000 Pepper 814790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is due in July, so we won't be going anywhere this summer. I can't complain too much though, I've already been to FL twice this year. We are planning on going somewhere with LO next summer for sure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-not-going-on-any-summer-vacations#post-814784 Wed, 29 May 2013 08:58:46 +0000 aprk 814784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't vacation in the traditional sense ... Just a road trip to visit our parents. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-not-going-on-any-summer-vacations#post-814780 Wed, 29 May 2013 08:57:28 +0000 Ash 814780@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're putting our vacation money towards building our garage... since LO is due in November, we don't want to worry about the Iowa weather and the baby being out in it.<br /> But I'll be dreaming of warm, sunny beaches!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-not-going-on-any-summer-vacations#post-814773 Wed, 29 May 2013 08:55:25 +0000 BananaPancakes 814773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're not going anywhere, either. We haven't been anywhere in a good 3 years. My husband is just incredibly difficult to get on a plane or on a long car ride, and I can't justify spending any money on vacation. I don't know why I get so tight when it comes to taking a break, but I do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-not-going-on-any-summer-vacations#post-814756 Wed, 29 May 2013 08:48:55 +0000 fancyfunction 814756@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're doing more day-trips too. We are going to stay at a fancy hotel near our home for our anniversary, but that's it. We plan on going to Boston for a weekend in Nov. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-not-going-on-any-summer-vacations#post-814709 Wed, 29 May 2013 08:28:43 +0000 avivoca 814709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Due to my husband's summer travel schedule, we rarely go anywhere in the summer. This year, I have to save all of my vacation days for my maternity leave so I can get one full paycheck. It's a huge bummer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-not-going-on-any-summer-vacations#post-814704 Wed, 29 May 2013 08:27:34 +0000 Sugar.Biscuit 814704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We haven't gone on any sense our honeymoon. DH can't physically handle a trip. We do small day trips to the cabin with extended family but that don't count either. Sadly we will never be able to take a ligit vacation together again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-not-going-on-any-summer-vacations#post-814701 Wed, 29 May 2013 08:24:03 +0000 Bookish 814701@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maternity leave is my vacay! We did take a trip to Vegas a couple weeks ago for my dad's wedding, which frankly was not all that fun at 32w...but yayy for 8 weeks of maternity leave! Maybe I'll get to do a couple day trips to visit the ILs or my parents, but that's it. No 'real' vacation for the next year! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-not-going-on-any-summer-vacations#post-814698 Wed, 29 May 2013 08:23:07 +0000 Boheme 814698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We aren't. I'll be on unpaid maternity leave, so our annual beach trip is a no go. Luckily I'm getting a baby in exchange for it or else I'd be super bummed! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-not-going-on-any-summer-vacations#post-814696 Wed, 29 May 2013 08:20:58 +0000 kjpugs 814696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: same, March 2010! Haha! Money has been spent in other places since then, OY! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-not-going-on-any-summer-vacations#post-814692 Wed, 29 May 2013 08:19:31 +0000 Anagram 814692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me, because I'm 8 months pregs and by the time I get to summer vacation, I won't be able to fly.</p> <p>But we did take a babymoon to DR in April, so I can't complain *too* much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-not-going-on-any-summer-vacations#post-814691 Wed, 29 May 2013 08:19:25 +0000 regberadaisy 814691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kjpugs: YES! Our last "vacation" was our honeymoon in September 2010. So sad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-not-going-on-any-summer-vacations#post-814690 Wed, 29 May 2013 08:18:04 +0000 kjpugs 814690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't remember the last time I went on a vacation just for a vacation!!! It's always to visit someone or for someone's wedding. This summer we're going to Indy/Chicago for my baby shower and then DH's brother's wedding. 3 days total. And then the weekend before I'm going to NJ for my family's baby shower. That's it! Plus FL is so hot in summer anywhere in driving distance is too hot! I hope to take DH and LO to SLC Utah to visit my sister sometime within baby's first year which I would consider a real vacation! Maybe summer, I hear it's awesome there then! But that's next year. </p>
