Hard at Work on the Summer Vacation Plans

The middle of winter is a good time to start thinking about summer! Finally nailed down a rental house for our June Hilton Head vacation with Mom and Dad, that is also big enough for the Robinson clan to join us. Though it's not in our preferred Palmetto Dunes location, it is 150 yards from the beach and has a bike path right out front and (most importantly) six bedrooms and a pool. It will be a new experiment (hopefully successful!) to not be in Palmetto Dunes this year, our 5th year in a row vacationing at Hilton Head.

Besides the Hilton Head vacation, Ben will be spending three weeks at Teen camp at the JCC, one week visiting Uncle Mike and Aunt Kathleen in Philadelphia, and two weeks at a  video game design/ computer programming camp at Charlotte Latin School. (Somehow I found the only day camp in Charlotte that is actually more expensive --but just slightly-- than Teen camp at the J. Don't ask me how, but I managed it). Rebecca will be spending six weeks at Camp Mindy at the JCC and one week at overnight camp at Blue Star. Joel and I will hopefully be spending a week vacationing by ourselves (maybe Wild Dunes?) while Becca is at Blue Star and Ben is with his aunt and uncle, provided we can make arrangements for Caroline.

And now... back to the winter doldrums :)
