Important bulletins from my back porch

mayhapGood news: I can breathe again. In a manner of speaking. With my mouth closed, and everything. I'd venture to say that I can think again, too, but I have a feeling one of you jokers would question the implication that I ever had that ability in the first place.
Bad news: I am allergic to yet another antibiotic. My body, it seems, regards damn near all antibiotics with hostility and suspicion. "What're you doing?" it demands, fearfully. "Hey, are you messing with my bacteria? I was getting rather fond of that bacteria. I was planning on incubating it lovingly for weeks, at least." Then, as it gains some confidence: "Oh yeah? Well, I'll show you." Then I get hives.
Not exactly life-threatening, I know. The latest batch went away in the space of a few hours, in fact. Still, of course, one doesn't really want to push the issue with that sort of thing.
Have been prescribed another antibiotic. I will be certain to let you all know if it gives me hives, too.
My dad is going to D.C. for a week in June for work and asks if I want to come along.
Ooooh, that was a tough decision.
Also, my mom is making noises about going for a Real Family Vacation this summer. I have never, ever been on a Real Family Vacation. My family's idea of a vacation has always been to go to Sioux Falls, where my extended family lives, and thus I have never been anywhere. She asked me where we should go, and I didn't even know where to begin. Er ... where would you lot suggest we go?
