i have some deserved time off coming up. it was originally time set aside for another trip, but things change. so.... i need to find something to do the majority of the last week in july. i wanted to goto vegas, but that might be a costly endeavor. [; I kinda want to go back to toronto, but that would be quite the drive for me. [not that i haven't done it twice already]

anyway, a great friend of mine told me that if you have to travel somewhere it is always best to be going for some reason. so i have been thinking and have decided to involve the fam in helping me come up with ideas. the first thing that popped into my mind was going to the mall of america. everyone else in my family has been there and i am such a mall person i feel like i'm missing out. yeah i'm silly. if you haven't figured that out yet, start reading.

but anyway, i want to have some other options so please help me come up with some ideas. what is going on around the midwest that week that would be fun to hit up. i want to get out and have some fun. hopefully get some drinking in and see what other kind of trouble i can get into. post your ideas and lets see what comes up.

Update: I live in lexington kentucky, i frequent ohio, and i'm not afraid to drive. hope that helps.
