When I lived in DC, I hated the tourists, so I can relate to not wanting to do touristy things.<br /><br />We have turned into such homebodies, it's kind of pathetic. But, having some time off work and family in town spurred us to do two whole outings around Christmas! We also went to the zoo lights at our zoo, which was really fun. I hate leaving the dogs, so having time off work is nice because you can tire them out during the day and not feel as guilty when you leave for a bit.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14310521653862222270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7513996817497959054.post-31789637673764408422011-01-04T11:29:10.171-06:002011-01-04T11:29:10.171-06:00I love staycations!

Don't get me wrong - I spent a number of years teaching skiing, and the holidays were a big boon for me. I just really appreciate what we've got out our front door Every Day. It's pretty cool, and we're really lucky to live where we do. (And it's nice to be able to ski for an hour or two and go home - knowing that it will always be there tomorrow!) And yes, it is nice to not have to worry about boarding the dogs/spending a zillion dollars for hotels/dinner, etc. :-)<br /><br />-Dr. Liz (the dogs are enjoying the world-famous snow at the moment)Lucy-Fur, as typed by Dr. Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00623314618386797524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7513996817497959054.post-48925539132158985852011-01-03T18:06:32.288-06:002011-01-03T18:06:32.288-06:00Being tourists in your own city is lots of fun.

I think that was you guys right in the middle, right?<br /><br />A coupla years ago, my mom and dad decided to do the same thing since we also lives in a place tourists like to come. One of the things they did was go visit a wolf sanctuary that's just up the road from our town. They learned a lot and they said the neatest part was when the tour group all howled together and got the wolves howling with them. <br /><br />Wiggles & Wags,<br />mayzieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7513996817497959054.post-56887030568276304082011-01-03T14:33:46.930-06:002011-01-03T14:33:46.930-06:00I get the same feelings about Seattle.

When I lived on the East Coast I was exploring every weekend - placed the locals could care less about. It's a good idea to explore and appreciate your city.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12470834138243209317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7513996817497959054.post-86998086043538976352011-01-03T13:51:58.185-06:002011-01-03T13:51:58.185-06:00We just passed through your city last week!

I've only spent a handful of hours in Chicago... last time we went to Millennium Park, this time we went to Navy Pier. I got some Garrett's popcorn, which I heard was the best. We visited some friends up on the red line and then hung out at our hotel for the rest of the night. (if you have to stay at an airport hotel for some reason ever, the aloft was great)brookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02490740909541514702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7513996817497959054.post-69470753734494930362011-01-03T13:11:10.832-06:002011-01-03T13:11:10.832-06:00I love visiting so many places that are well withi...I love visiting so many places that are well within driving distance for us, especially if we can take the dogs. We are blessed to still have free state parks in our state and visiting them has been amazing! We made it back to Starved Rock yesterday and it is incredible at any time of year. We also got to enjoy some of our own city sights decked out for Christmas, and I guess some things you just never get tired of! <br /><br />We usually travel up to Chicago once during the Christmas season for shopping, but we didn't this year. I am sorry that we didn't get to go after seeing all your pictures!houndstoothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02159272473651561647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7513996817497959054.post-11322435212385147902011-01-03T10:37:59.996-06:002011-01-03T10:37:59.996-06:00we love playing tourist in LA.
