We also lucked out with the weather. The week leading up to the 4th of July (prior to our arrival), it was in the 60s a few days and rained 4 days consecutively. The week we were there, the temps were in the 70s-80s the entire time, and it rained for about 3 hours on one day only. Could not have asked for any better weather.

My kids, ages 3 and 5, have already been on 3 great vacations at this point in their lives. My wife and I combined were not on such nice trips as kids and probably not until we got married. It's great to be able to have the kids experience different areas of the country and just see how people live outside of their hometown.
