I like the trip idea better than a party, personally, so I am glad that Mom
and Dad seemed to like that alternative. And in June, I think that the
mountains sound great. I have a preference for Western mountains -- big,
open sky (Grand Tetons could be great), but if Mom pictures North Carolina
as the spot I am sure that we can find something good. We were in Ashville a
couple of years ago, which was very near the Blue Ridge. We stayed at a
place that was supposed to be terrific, but we did not care for it. I am
sure that there are other places in the area to research. There may also be
some spots around Charlottesville, also just off the Blue Ridge. I think
that some people from here have vacationed in that area, so I will ask around
and see if there are any good suggestions. In magazines, I have seen
pictures of places in Tennessee and Georgia ( I guess they do have mountains)
that look nice. I will see if I can find the names of those places.

Thanks for pursuing this with Mom and Dad. --Sally

Subject: anniversary


Met Mom and Dad for dinner last night. I did some pushing for the
anniversary decision. Mom was quite adamant about not liking cruises (Mom,
adamant? What a shock!). What did seem to appeal was a trip to the
mountains (really!). She's think of N.C.--probably blue ridge. I know
there are some ski resorts there--something like that would also offer our
little and not-so-little ones something to do. I've been searching the web
for places during lunch. Will compile some info and let you know...
