Last-minute Summer Vacations
June 23, 2007. We realize some folks like to procrastinate. Others have a hard time making a decision. For those who haven't booked their luxury vacation rentals yet, and don't even know where to go this summer, we offer these suggestions:
Lake Tahoe – Escape the heat by going high into the mountains and visiting the cool, clear waters of Lake Tahoe. Charming mountain resort towns ring the lake, and the scenic loop (which can't really be done in just one day) takes you past beaches, state parks, kayak rentals and photo-friendly vistas. Fly into Sacramento or Reno.
The Adirondacks - The north woods of New York State lie within easy driving distance of most of the population in the Northeast, making it a favorite getaway. Arts and crafts festivals abound, with one in Warrensburg and one in Bolton Landing on July 7-8, one in Lake Luzerne and one in Inlet on July 21, and many more.
Galveston– Families in Houston don't have to drive far to get relief from the heat. If the breeze and cool waters of the ocean don't help, they'll find solace in one of the water parks at Schlitterbahn or Moody Gardens.
