[QUOTE="James Snover, post: 16733074, member: 67454"] Dumb vacations? Guys, y'all arent even _trying_. Here's what the wife and I do on vacation: When I go on vacation I chart out known used bookstores and plan my itinerary around that. Any "found" book store is added to the list. Finding something like an old Audel's Steam Engine Repair manual is a major find and justifies the whole vacation. One I found Misner, Thorne and Wheeler's "Gravitation," for $15.00! It is _the_ text book on on General Relativity. It's big enough it has it's own damn gravity. It was in new condition, even! Justified the whole vacation. On top of that, you can add any and all aviation museums. Or spacecenters. (If you haven't been to the Stennis Space Center, it's great! They've got a whole Saturn VB booster stage on display, tons of rocket engines on display, you should go it's awesome! My wife is an equestrienne. She rides horses. Part of the reason I can feed my book habit is that on weekends, I don't see much of her because she's at the barn. So our vacations have to chart out places they offer trail rides. A huge compromise on finding books, but one has to work at keeping a relationship going. So: one man's dumb vacation is another guy's reason for going. [/QUOTE]
