Family Vacation Search

Each year the Sceggel family takes a family vacation together and head down to Gulf Shores, AL. Almost every year we go during spring break but this year the breaks are at all different times. There are 2 weeks available in July we can all go together July 9-16th or July 23-30th so decided to drive north instead of South and look around the lake Michigan area. Our budget was $2000.00 to rent either 2 adjoining condos or a 4 bedroom house that sleeps 10. Well after days of searching on the internet the budget was raised to $2500.00 plus tax and cleaning and still we haven't been able to find what we need. Either the place is in our budget but already rented at that time or when we inquire the price is so outlandish we must pass. Does ANYONE know of a place to take our family? We will have 2 brand new babies (human not horse) and a 2 year old with us this year so don't think it is wise to travel more than 6 hours away.
Any help in finding something would be appreciated.
Today the post office must be visited to purchase another 600 dollar stamps 2 rolls of a hundred each 17 cent stamps and 12 rolls of a hundred first class stamps. We want to get the Bibles out the young group wrapped. We will be pushing it today as the mail must be processed also. Eva Jean always says, "Tuesday is my blessed day, with the morning spent at Meisters and the evening spent at choir." I hope after today she still feels that way!

  1. For $2500 Mike and Diane will move out of their house for a week. They offer a 3 bedroom house, plus a cabin that sleeps 4, NO TAX OR DEPOSIT NECESSARY. They also have Fishing, Swimming, Boating, Volleyball, Horseback riding, Hiking, Campfires, playground and they could probably hire Jenny to cook for you. And the best part is, it is only a 1/2 hour drive.

  2. Sounds pretty good, think Mike and Diane would go for it? The only problem is we would be close enough Mark would go into work completely destroying the bonding process.
