[speaker001:] well this is the season for vacations and uh I guess for places I like to go I enjoy going to the beach and having having outdoor being outdoors somewhere and someplace that's very different than Texas and uh as far as
[speaker002:] right
[speaker001:] maybe maybe as the summer heat comes along I'd sort of like going somewhere where it's not so hot and being able to be outside and enjoy outsor outside activities so
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] enjoy going places where I I enjoy playing tennis so I like to have a tennis court there or or if it's at the beach the beach is great a pool is great and uh
[speaker002:] where where do you usually go
[speaker001:] oh well let's see we have plans this year to drive up to the uh to Colorado and we'll be going to Estes Park and Colorado Springs so
[speaker002:] um-hum hum uh-huh
[speaker001:] one year we went to the southwest corner of Colorado into Durango and north of the area there and uh
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] boy that's that's a nice nice place to visit it's really nice uh there's a nice nice train ride that goes up to the city of Silverton where they used to do a lot of silver mining
[speaker002:] right
[speaker001:] and uh and then actually north north of that is another town and a smaller on a smaller scale I guess than Silverton but uh and then there's lots and lots of real uh of mountains that are covered with uh boulders
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] so I guess people Jeep through that area and we didn't have a chance to do that but I sure would like to go back there and do that again
[speaker002:] right we're um uh we haven't had a vacation in several years so so be our first chance in awhile in awhile uh we're going to go to uh Destin Florida which is a very nice beach area if you're not familiar with it it
[speaker001:] I haven't been but I've heard it's wonderful
[speaker002:] oh it's it's gorgeous uh we used to go quite a bit uh before I moved out here we were closer and uh used to go almost every summer uh and just just rent a condo there on the beach uh there's quite a few uh there's a lot of development of of condominiums there along the beach front
[speaker001:] right
[speaker002:] and uh  so they have uh they're very very large condos and they have quite a few rooms and uh so we we'll usually rent one for about a week or so and
[speaker001:] right and the beach is nice the beach is really nice isn't it
[speaker002:] and go down oh yeah it's it just uh just beautiful white sand and very clear blue green water and uh a lot of
[speaker001:] oh
[speaker002:] nice waves usually uh
[speaker001:] sea shells
[speaker002:] enough enough to make it I'm sorry
[speaker001:] sea shells
[speaker002:] uh there's not as many sea shells along there uh that's the only thing that they really don't they have some but not not so much um if you go further down uh
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] but you'll usually find some but not right in there uh I don't know why it is but uh just it seems not to not to have as many there but uh we we enjoy it uh it's the place where we stay is we stay we usually stay at the same place every year and  they are like I say right on the beach so it's uh
[speaker001:] oh where do you stay and my husband always wants to go to Destin we just haven't gone that direction yet
[speaker002:] it's a place called Jetty East uh J E T T Y E A S T and it's uh called that because it's at the very end of uh a jetty there which is uh sort of the end of this little little point and uh it's a at the very end it's the last set of condominiums there and it's uh
[speaker001:] okay
[speaker002:] it's very nice uh it's not very expensive uh you can I think we're going to go with another couple and their their kids and uh they have a we have a uh I think it's three bedroom or two bedroom uh condominium which will sleep I don't know quite a few uh six or eight and uh
[speaker001:] right
[speaker002:] because it's got you know pull out couches and all that and uh I think it's going to cost us per couple about three hundred dollars for the week
[speaker001:] oh that's nice
[speaker002:] yeah it really is because um the uh you know it's got its own kitchen full size kitchen and everything and this one I think has two baths and it's the one we got is on the uh on the beach side so
[speaker001:] right oh nice
[speaker002:] we've got a beautiful view and balcony and uh just you know really it's really a nice stay uh in fact we stayed there on on our honeymoon we I had won a trip to the Bahamas but didn't get to take it on our honeymoon time so we instead went there uh and loved it just as much as as if we had gone to the Bahamas we in fact we stayed an extra day or so because we liked the uh the particular room uh uh uh
[speaker001:] oh
[speaker002:] uh suite that we had gotten was very nice and so we decided to stay
[speaker001:] right oh
[speaker002:] but uh it's a pretty nice place you'll need to try to go and and stay there sometime but
[speaker001:] well we've just we've just
[speaker002:] it's a little far from here but uh
[speaker001:] are you driving
[speaker002:] yeah we are we're it'll take uh a day and a half to get there probably
[speaker001:] oh
[speaker002:] so
[speaker001:] well well we're uh the neighborhood that we live in they're switching to an alternate calendar this year so it starting well starting at the end of July we'll have two vacation weeks in October and two vacation weeks in March
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] so that'll be interesting turn on vacations for our family so uh
[speaker002:] uh what does what does that mean alternate
[speaker001:] well it's what it truly is supposed to mean is nine weeks of school three weeks of vacation nine weeks of school three weeks of vacation
[speaker002:] oh uh-huh
[speaker001:] and uh in and in the summer would be more like a two month two month break
[speaker002:] right
[speaker001:] so and they hope to boost the they hope to boost the learning of the children
[speaker002:] I see
[speaker001:] just the retention of the material for them so uh
[speaker002:] kind of scattering the vacation out throughout the year
[speaker001:] yeah yeah so
[speaker002:] yeah um uh
[speaker001:] it so anyway so maybe maybe within a year we'll see how that falls
[speaker002:] right
[speaker001:] we'll head for we'll head for Florida maybe in somewhat of an off season instead of summer
[speaker002:] right
[speaker001:] so uh
[speaker002:] okay
[speaker001:] well that's probably need all we need to do today
[speaker002:] okay
[speaker001:] all right
[speaker002:] so long
[speaker001:] thanks a lot
[speaker002:] bye-bye
