Poster is right that you may not have access to certain areas in June. However, crowds may be smaller and you should still be able to do and see a lot in June if that’s the best time for your family
It will happen …eventually

re: Summer trip - 2 kids under 10

both would be great spots, I'd lean Estes for the experience and to avoid the heat. New Braunfels/San Antonio would be more enjoyable in the spring or fall IMO.
Lsu was never a consistent contender but Dale Brown had LSU on the map in the 80s, the PMAC was rockin and was close to a title. Brady was wildly inconsistent but the sweet 16 and final 4 teams were really fun to watch. CWW had a top 40 program consistently for the first time since Dale. LSU was a contender from 79-87 and had some big moments after that period.
David Woodley started a super bowl but lost
Joe Dean was a lame duck AD and Emmert basically told Dean to STFU and get out of his way. Dean didn’t want to pay any coach including Saban 7 figures. Emmert’s quote was that the athletic program is the window through which the country viewed a university. I’m paraphrasing but Emmert had a clear vision and understanding of the type of coach needed. Saban was ascending up the ranks and highly respected by football folks in college and the NFL. He was so serious and business like , the BR media and fans weren’t sure what to think of him.

My only concern is the tackle position. Cambell and Jones didn’t have great years but they were really good in pass protection most of the season. The interior OL should be much improved

NWA is a little further(8-10 hours depending on where you go). Jasper AR has some secluded cabins near the Buffalo River.
The current mayor is awesome and has slowed down the bleeding. Unfortunately, it may be too late. New Iberia should have marketed itself as a Houma or just sell people on being close enough to Lafayette. It’s not far at all from south Lafayette. Unfortunately years of good ol boy politics stymied growth.
Well Houston has a massive donor that just bought them 4 top 20 players including one from Newman in NOLA
LSU doesn’t have the financial backing from donors for NIL and the PMAC is a historical site
Until LSU invests heavily in MBB it won’t matter that much who is coaching. Bringing CWW back would certainly be a boost but the fans and administration aren’t willing to put money into the program. Having said that , if CWW were still here along with Mulkey , things would almost certainly look and feel different.

another vote for Kalalock lodge. Washingtong state and Olympic are incredible and highly underrated.

re: NYC - Boston - Maine

we did this trip last summer. NYC, drove through NE, stopped in Mystic Connecticut for a night, then on to Kennebunkport, then drove to Boston to fly back to MSY. Regrettably, we didn't have enough time for Acadia. There's some great towns and areas to see in NE that we didn't have time for but it was a great trip. We stopped in multiple towns in between those stops.

Kennebunkport has some nice Airbnb homes near the water if you choose it as a stop. The whale tour and lobster tour were highlights.

If you’ve eliminated most serious possibilities, it could be costochondritis. It took me years to get over it.

Better Miami than a SEC rival
LSU has the USF safety on campus and there may be more enter the portal
He’s more of a nickel , 2nd CB that can play in the box and plays the run. Pickett and the Florida CB will most likely play the boundary. A really good pickup and upgrade. 3 year starter.

Mathews hasn’t done anything at Tennessee and hadn’t really gotten on the field. There are CBs in the portal that have some game film
