Vacation

Now through Saturday, October 15th (10-15-22) it's crystal digging season at the Salt Plains National Wildlife Refuge in Jet, OK. You can harvest Selenite crystals in the Salt Plains and it's TOTALLY FREE! Time to grab your buckets, shovels, rakes, and sunscreen!

If you take the drive through Oklahoma on Route 66 you'll get to see famous landmarks like the Round Barn in Arcadia, the Blue Whale of Catoosa, the historic Coleman Theater in Miami, and of course the Route 66 Museum in Clinton, OK. If you've never been to the museum it houses one of the largest collections of Route 66 memorabilia around.

I've never really been a big vacation kind of guy. I prefer hanging around the house doing projects and keeping myself busy. But after all this I'm thinking it'll be nice to get away for a vacation.

Whether you're taking off to the beach for the week or have other vacation plans, these are items you're sure to need this spring break.

Full disclosure: I missed the last 10 minutes of Vacation. Last night’s press screening started 20 minutes late, then began without any sound, which lead to a 10 minute delay to correct the technical difficulties. With an unbreakable engagement elsewhere, I had to sneak out right before the very last scene. So take this review with as many grains of salt as you’d like. If you think those final minutes might recontextualize everything that came before to transform a generally miserable comedy into a beacon of transcendent hilarity, so be it. Having sat through the previous 90 minutes, I’m of the opinion that nothing short of the long-lost missing footage from Orson Welles’ Magnificent Ambersons could have redeemed this dreadful film.

What at first seemed like a silly idea for a reboot/sequel has already proven itself as incredibly promising with just a couple of trailers — a new trailer for Vacation has arrived, and it’s just as funny as the previous ones (although it features less of Chris Hemsworth’s, um, area). A new generation of Griswolds hit the road for Walley World, and the results appear to be even more disastrous than the original gang’s vacation attempts.

The new Vacation may bear the same name as the old Vacation, but it’s actually a sequel, taking place a few decades after the first ill-fated Griswold family trip to Walley World. The first trailer for this new version has arrived and while it has the same title and premise as its predecessor, it bends over backwards to let you know that Ed Helms is the same Rusty Griswold from 32 years ago, all grown up. Can we call this a rebootquel?

Just when you thought 'Community' ensured Chevy Chase would be out of our hair for a while and the Ed Helms continuation of National Lampoon's 'Vacation' franchise had collapsed, in comes ABC with a TV reunion of the famous road trip family's parents, Chevy Chase and Beverly D'Angelo!

Americans may not be working harder than ever, but it sure seems like we are working more than ever.

I feel like I don't get enough days off to use them as a weapon, but apparently some people do.

According to a new survey by Choice Hotels, 90% of families taking trips this summer will drive.

It’s summertime, which means you’ll probably take a week off for vacation to relax. But a vacation can be anything but relaxing.
