Pocono Mountains
Well John's family goes on vacation with his dad every year. Next year we are going to plan it with Erik. So I am going to periodically post some of the options we are looking at- then everyone can vote on what they like. If you have been to any of these areas just post a comment about what you thought and other things that would be good.
I think Erik suggested the Poconos 
for family camp. They are in northeastern PA and New York. Lake Harmony For families there is a fair in the beginning of August and a pretzel factory. There is a water and fun park we could go to with the kids. There are lots of parks and a wild animal zoo and a living historical farm that might be fun to see, as well as just outdoor things. I think this vacation would be more rustic than other options with hiking and swimming. SplitRock resort 
is along Lake Harmony 
and could fit us all. There is a nascar racetrack. We could go to scranton for a day trip it is 55 minutes away from the lake and NYC is 2 hours away if we wanted to go to a Broadway show. There is a really cute B&B we could stay at- the Stroudsmoor B&B. John and I could go check out other B&Bs and hotels. The B&B has cabins and suites with multiple rooms including a hospitality suite- we could all get smaller rooms in the B&B and someone could stay in the hospitality suite 
so we could meet up and hang out. I think the most beautiful place is the Harry Packer mansion- they have murder mystery weekend packages we would probably need to rent out the whole house and there is a discount if we wanted to do that. It isn't on a lake but it is 11 miles away from lake Harmony. It was used as the model for Disney's haunted mansion which I think is cool.
There is no Worldmark Resort near the Poconos but I could ask Erik about trading. Erik has a timeshare and we could save money to use it, but we don't have to use it.
Please say what you think!
