Every once in a while we need to take a break from everyday life. If your single, those vacation spots tend to differ than if you have a significant other to bring along. Generally, the opposite sex wouldn't be thrilled about these locations...
(1) The
Dalles, Ore. -- to visit your great Uncle Lou and watch old Red
Sox games on VHS. While this may seem like a great vacation. Think about it from a girl's perspective. Yeah, you're dying alone.
(2)
Stateline -- for obvious reasons.
(3)
Colville, Wash. -- Just because it's the county seat of Steven's County in Northeastern Washington doesn't mean you should take you summer vacation there. No,
Walmart does not constitute as "things to do while in
Colville."
(4) Yakima, Wash. -- Ponder for a moment how you would sell this to your significant other. Come up with reasons you can use. Drawing a blank slate? yeah thought so. And please keep in mind that watching 2A high school basketball at the
SunDome is only socially acceptable when you go to the schools that are playing. Anything else and you're just weird.
(5) Any place in the State of Montana -- Unless you like ticks.
(6) On a non-cruise ship boat for three months -- actually this isn't called a vacation, it's called the Navy.
(7)
Omak, Wash. -- Other than the dog-fighting rings they have going on here, there's really nothing going on. Maybe passable if you can get Michael Vick to come along.
(8) Texas --
Ew.
(9) Your buddies' house in Spokane -- 48 straight hours of "Halo Wars" is considered a coma.
(10)
Staycation -- Who wants to play Yahtzee?!?!?!
I always use to hate Colville, since they were the bigger town to the north of Chewelah, but I might need to hold my tongue after the Indians defeated Riverside 21-1 in softball as Alison Holst threw a no-hitter and struck out seven.
