I spent my vacation money moving to a new state this year.
However, since I always choose to go to one beach or another, I now have a bunch within an hour of me -- so I can go and sit by the ocean any time I'd like. Did that yesterday....;o)
Anyone that wants to visit, get in touch!

Beach 5 minutes away. We might do some local camping.
My sil is on hospice, so we are staying close to home os we'll be available when they need help.

We prefer our big vacations to be in the winter so we can go someplace warm!!! I am hoping to fly to Mississippi to see my dad this summer, definitely on my list of to do's. I have weddings in September in Vegas and October in Texas. A convention in June in Salt Lake City.....not enough days in the year.
The ocean sounds awesome.....

I plan to spend most of the summer putzing around the house with the occasional trip down to the beach. I'm researching the possibility of turning something I do for fun into a home-based business. If it pans out I'll spend a lot of my free-time getting it off the ground.

I plan to make home improvements - rip out the carpet and replace with slate and paint interior of house and add some wainscoating.
I also am attending a Blues Festival that will have two really great blues players/singers (amongst others) in attendance - totally stoked. I'll take my son to see my parents and my grandmother who will be 94 this year in August and then school starts for me again in August.
I have family coming in from out of state which will be great to spend time with them.

We are moving in this direction...plus..you don't necessarily have all the "touristy" stuff in the winter months...things are a little cheaper and you get more for your money...
DH RARELY gets time off in the summer...even though he's been at his job 14 years, he still doesn't have enough seniority to get time off in the summer...We can manage a long weekend, but to take any time off in the summer will be nearly impossible for another couple of years...

Let's see. In 8 days I'm off for 15 in a row. Since my wife will be on project in Buffalo during that stretch, and for the most part, upstate new york is about as boring as it gets, I'm going to take a road trip down to Louisiana, then cut over to Texas and hit Houston, Austin and Dallas, and then speed through Oklahoma as quickly as possible. Then I'm off for another 15 starting the last week of August. We haven't decided where to head for that trip, but most likely up to Seattle to see my SIL then on to Victoria and Vancouver for a week or so.
In betweeen, I'll find some illegal immigrants to do some landscaping in the backyard.

I don't really have summer plans. Sounds like everyone will have some fun stories to share when they return. We do a week at the beach every summer, I hope to do that for years and years.
Those who are so close to the beach you can smell it I am jealous! I could live there, just listening to the waves and watching the water.
