Vacation spots
aren't always at the beach.
This one is
within one day's reach.

Des took a Schott
And the net was in sight,
But to win this tournament,
You must be exactly right.

The setting is where and when
That's as plain as the nose on your face.
Sometimes it might include an event,
Where OSU got first place.

Where am I #5?

I am not on Gilligan's Island, but I could be. Except we stayed at a resort instead of in a grass hut. You can yell and shout, and beat the drum, those thinking UP are getting close. My pap and I spent a week there last summer.



Where am I?

Congrats to Josh and Caleb, you get 17 trillion rocks from the shore of extra credit!

Where am I #4?

Once again, back by popular demand, everyones favorite post, Where am I?


Don't let the sun set, without this view, at the end of the day.
If you think you know, grab a seat and guess away.
If the day was bad, or just okay,
Reading a book here will whisk my troubles away.

You might think that it's a place to pray,
That's sometimes true, depending on the day.
The Church of God are where most guesses lay,
But you better swing some other way.


There is a field in front, you could say,
With horses grazing through the day.
I might soon go there, but not today,
Although this spot will keep the rain away.

In fact, it's a nice spot for a mini soiree.
Or, to get over a school day filled with disarray.
Me and my diet Dew overcoming the fray,
Of wrong guessing students at school today.

Just looking at the picture is no way to play,
Think about what the clues convey.

Dillon was so so close guessing yesterday,
But, close doesn't win this game we play.
Congratulations to the KW's because hey,
They guessed it right, I may be there today.

Where am I #3?

OK, the last one was just too easy. Maybe this will be a little more of a challenge.


Washington D.C. is not the only place for a vacation. We left for somewhere else.

Where am I #2?

Back by popular demand, the ever popular, Where am I?


I thought about offering a prize of a dollar to the first person to correctly guess, but I decided to offer a piece of candy instead.
