We are one of the dumb ones, we bought a timeshare, but we are OK with it and how it works. We have opened up our vacation palette much more than we would have without this purchase. Normally, vacation has meant going to Corpus Christi and hanging out there.
Because of the timeshare, we spent last Spring Break in Galveston, the previous year up northeast Texas on Palestine Lake, and for this year, I think we might be heading to Conroe Lake, which is above Houston, not too far from The Woodlands and a short drive to downtown Houston (~50min). We were considering going and staying as far north as Branson Missouri, but we have plans for Florida, I don't want to get in a position where we overspend during Spring Break, specially since Boy already said he is not joining us. He said he would rather stay and work, make some extra money, so he and his friends can do their own thing. At one point this might have hurt my feelings, but I remember the last Spring Break he went with us, and he acted like a complete A-hole. I told him fine, he can stay, but he does go on the Florida trip because all the family is going, as in my folks and siblings and their kids. My parents also were on less than stellar behavior last time, when we were on Palestine Lake and my mom's concern seemed more to LOL on FB instead of talk and laugh with us, there. My dad was not that much better, me thinking he would enjoy fishing a new lake, he seems to be over it, as he would rather spend all his free time in a casino environment.
We shall see, I enjoyed going to Conroe Lake last time. We were invited for a weekend, and the drive is beautiful, and the grounds are pretty good too. We managed to find a heated pool at night, after we jumped in a regular pool, but got bumped when it looked like a storm was coming. The pools are situated where you can see the lake, it is all very nice and relaxing.
To make this trip even better, I would like to take my boat in for a tune up and take it with us. I want this to be the year we start boating again. We will be on a lake, the drive is three hours, if Boy doesn't go, we can take our truck, if my brother joins my folks, we can still use the Excursion, it will also tow the boat, with no problem. Honestly, I would love to spend enough time on the boat, that Wife starts thinking we need a bigger one for next year, and we go ahead and get a pontoon boat, but alas, baby steps.
