There'll be lots of time to explore the local area, and the occasional brewpub. 42.440472 -76.49688742.440472-76.496887164458Fri, 14 Apr 2006 15:06:12 -0400http://www.mapbuilder.net/users/argo0/16303What we're actually doing is yet to be determined, but we'll probably go to southern Virginia or North Carolina (or both).  It'll be past the date when Kathy should fly, so our options are somewhat limited. 35.476101 -79.17230235.476101-79.172302164034Fri, 14 Apr 2006 14:47:11 -0400http://www.mapbuilder.net/users/argo0/16303Family vacation with my family at a beach house.  33.688721 -78.8876533.688721-78.88765
