Rafting??

With all the beach trip talk I just wanted to run one other idea by you all. If you wanted to do something fun and different we could do a family rafting trip instead. You can click on the Rafting title above to get a link to one of the companies (there are a ton out there). But anyhow, they do single day trips that run from:
All Day per adult /per child (14& under)
Weekday $65 /$55
Saturdays (June-Aug) $80 /$65
Sundays/Holiday $75 /$65

They also do two day trips where you camp in between. And if we have 12 or more they will take off $5 per person per day.
They have a web special for 2 days that would be about $2000 for everyone for 2 days with all meals and camping site included. The youngest kids (tuck, Gabe and India) should ride with the guide but the rest of us could follow the guides lead.

For a cheaper 2 day route you can rent a guide and raft for 2 days and then you can rent one other raft and a couple 2 person inflatable kayaks for about $1000. You have to provide all your own food and feed the guide. I know Jenn and Brian have a couple that are a bit too young to go but maybe we could take turns rafting/babysitting or something. And if you didn't want to do an overnight thing we could go the cheap route and just do a one day trip for about $755 for everyone (and maybe Brian's folks would babysit for a night??)
Sound fun to anyone??
