I'm going to sacrifice my retirement so that I can travel now.
My husband is originially from Washington, across the sound from Seattle though, and we had no clue Red Robin originated there. Our friends were just bummed about the RR experience because we talked them up about our food experiences when we go to visit and they got stuck with Red Robin, which is the closest restaurant to us here at home.The thing is if you are "old time Seattle," Red Robin is local. When we were in college at the University of Washington, DH and I used to eat at the original one which was just across University Bridge, the one that started out as a tavern frequently. They tore it down a few years ago now, put up apartments I think.
Not that there aren't newer local places worth trying. But if you don't know Red Robin history it seems more annoying.
I think that's why I like variety.
I call WDW and Universal def. a vacation. But I love my beach vacations, the shorter lake weekends, the educational/history trips, the road trips, the B&B trips in the past, etc.
Camping is NOT a vacation. Why take all of the clean things from your house, drag them through the dirt, only to return them to your house? Too much work.
Love looking at the beach, but hate BEING on the beach. Boring, boring, boring.
And vacation is all I call itI guess “vacation” to me is something you don’t have to come home and take a day or two to rest from.

I'd rather stay in a hotel than in someone's home (unless it's a very close relative like visiting my mom).
Yes!!! Our friends recently went to Seattle to visit family....their local family members took them to Red Robin!!! They are too polite to say anything but really wanted to try something local and not something we can go to anytime.
