Vacation plans?

[Jazz2000]

I can't believe it's August already?

Does anyone have any special plans for this month?

Well, maybe not for this month, but I am seriously planning on take the family to a boat cruise. I think that would be fun.

Boat cruise sounds great!!!

in a couple of weeks, my family will be going up north to my parents' cabin for a week. We haven't been there in about a year.

In Michigan "up north" refers to anyplace 2 hours or more north of Detroit; usually cabins, cottages or camping. Pretty much everyone either has their own place or parents or family owning a place up north.
