Uncle Penn
Really waited too long to plan this.
I live in San Jose Area. Would like to go somewhere for 3 or 4 days within 3 hours drive of San Jose. Somewhere where there are cabins or motel near a lake where there is swimming and maybe other activities would be nice. But open to lots of other things. Should be something a 6 year old boy would like too.
Please don't suggest anything in San Francisco.
Thanks.

The SJMerc said last week that reservations for the San Jose Family Camp at Yosemite have been slow this year because the camp was closed for a couple of years due to repairs and remodeling. They would most likely have room this summer. They have all kinds of family activities and have been well thought of in the San Jose Community for years.
From their website:
San Jose Family Camp is pleased to announce we will be opening for the 2012 Season beginning with Fish Camp at the end of April.
San José Family Camp is located in the heart of the Sierras near Yosemite National Park, just east of Groveland, California. Family Camp is situated on 47 acres of leased land from the U.S. Forest Service. The Stanislaus National Forest and the middle fork of the Tuolumne River serve as the scenic backdrop to this mountain playground. Family Camp provides a retreat where guests of all ages can fish, hike, swim, participate in organized programs or just sit back, relax and take it easy. It's a great experience for the entire family! So come up and rent a tent. During the Summer Family Session, the Camp provides three meals a day to campers, along with supervised recreational activities. Groups are welcome to rent out the Camp during the pre and post sessions. For questions, please contact staff at 408-794-6523 or Familycamp@sanjoseca.gov

I'm making a bucket list for 2012?
Q. I read some where that when you keep yourself busy and look at the things that you've accomplished rather then looking at the things you need to accomplish, the year goes by faster. I'm keeping a list of things I've accomplished in 2012 and things I could accomplish. Here's my list of things to accomplish so far;
-Go without meat for longer then 3 months.
-Complete an entire short story.
-Go to my first concert.
-Maintain the relationship I have with John
-Meet and get to know atleast one person every month.
-Give up the computer AND t.v. for a week
-Submit an entry to Postsecret
-Learn to french braid my own hair
-Pull an all night and still go to school
-Have a picnic
-Have a yard sale
-Tell a random person they're attractive & make their day.
-Flatten a coin on the rail road tracks
-Write a letter to yourself in the future. Then hide it. Maybe in the pocket of a coat you never, ever wear.
-Write the stuff you like about your body on your body with marker, then take a shower(:
-Spend the night in the cemetary.
-Learn to write legibly with my left hand
-Go to the movie theater JUST for some popcorn.
-Build a blanket tent and go "Camping"
-Play in the rain in just my bathing suit
-Carve initials into a tree.
-Write a message on a bathroom stall.
-Make fudge(:
-Make a snow angel
Any more suggestions!? Thanks in advance(:

Answer
Write at least one book (and get it published)
Run for political office (and preferably win)
Own a boat large enough to sleep at least four people
Work for myself, or at least as a freelancer
Own a dog, preferably one that likes boats (and cats)
Visit Africa. Preferably Tanzania; a doctor friend of mine has spent some time there and raves about how wonderful it is
Visit the Canadian Arctic
Visit Antarctica
Visit Atlin, BC, where Mr E Man spent the first few years of his life. Iâve seen the family photos. It looks stunning.
Visit New Zealand
Kayak Haida Gwaii
Kayak the Galapagos
See Wales whales from a kayak and/or from my hypothetical boat
See great apes in the wild before they go extinct, if it is possible to do so without further endangering them. First choice a sasquatch orangs, then gorillas, bonobos, and finally chimps (which are still totes awesome even if they are my last choice)
See a Canucks game in another city, preferably during the playoffs
See an England game in the football or (preferably) rugby world cup (Iâve already seen Scotland get destroyed by South Africa in the rugby world cup at Murrayfield)
Go into space, if it is possible to do so without bankrupting myself or the climate
As a consolation prize for probably never going into space, fly first class on Virgin. Apparently you get free manicures and shoulder massages in your seat
Ski a black diamond run with style and grace and without whimpering, all previous attempts having been the opposite
Do a bobsled run
Easy peasy, right? I already own a nautical compass⦠Iâll buy that boat piece by piece if I have to!
2012 Resolutions
Build a personal website that can function as an online bio, writing portfolio, and general purpose landing page for new contacts who are likely to be put off by some of the sillier content of my blog and Twitter feed
Use said website in emails to my federal member of parliament and municipal government representatives inquiring about volunteering opportunities
Volunteer for my federal MP and/or municipal government representatives
Be more assertive at work, especially when it comes to protecting my weekends (and my sanity!)
Write at least a first draft of a book proposal
And a short story
Do something new, scary, and/or challenging (along the lines of Vancouver Change Camp or a new outdoor activity) at least once a month
Write and snail mail at least one proper letter per month to a friend or relative
Write at least one book (and get it published)
