For both Mike and I, our dads' idea of a vacation was staying home from work. My dad always took a trip with his brothers in the fall to Canada for fishing, but whenever we traveled, there was always a reason we had to, y'know? Not just to relax.
But I don't get the Atlantic City thing. Or the gambling thing. Mike and I went to Wheeling Downs once out of curiosity - and I found it boring. Pulling levers on machines gets old, and the smoke that hangs in the air..:hurl:
But as you said, to each their own. We went as a lark, but we have no desire to ever do that again.
Disney on the other hand....
