Are you going to go on vacation?

Despite a shaky economy this winter, spring is in the air and we asked parents at Barnett Park recently if they planned to go on vacation this year. Their responses indicated that a vacation was still in the picture, although nothing extravagant was planned:

"Hopefully we'll go to the Black Hills, just to relax and get out of cell phone range."

Andi Cappel and Grace, 5, Grant, 3 and Emma, 1

"If we go on vacation, it will be to Denver to visit family."

Jane Keith

"Whatever she says."

Travis Keith

"Maybe. We're going to Georgia, where Jarrod is being deployed to Iraq for a year."

Lacy Krueger, Jarrod Schmoker and Mason, 6, Madison, 3

"When I get back we'll go to Disneyland."

Jarrod Schmoker

"Yes, to South Dakota to see Mt. Rushmore. My son really wants to see it after he did a school project."

Becky Mai and Riley, 8

"We bought a camper this year so we can do more traveling close to home."
