thinking about vacation

As the month comes to an end and summer just beginning June 20th, we are looking forward to a much-deserved vacation. That is if any one really "deserves" a vacation! I can be thankful that my company benefits include several weeks of paid vacation. It is good to take time for rest & relaxation, and just get away from the daily grind. This summer we are heading to Arkansas for our vacation and look forward to seeing many of the family again. It has been a couple of years since we visited family. Last summer, my job moved me to Georgia, so we spent our vacation close to home in Florida.

Some of the possible tourist attractions we might see this year are:
Petit Jean State Park
Delta River Nature Center
Museum of Discovery
4th of July Pops on the River
