That said, I am starting to regret planning our week-long summer vacation for the 3rd week of August. I want to go NOW. I want to be tan, and on the beach, and relaxing with my feet up on a porch reading a book, and playing with Babyfriend, and grilling with Hubby, and eating ice cream with my girlfriends. Now. NOW, not in nearly 3 weeks.
When I was a kid, we went on two major vacations every summer: a week in July and two weeks in August. As an adult, we can't take that much time, but next year, I definitely will be looking into taking two separate trips, one early in the summer, and one late. I am beginning to see the logic in my parent's plan.
I want to see these things again.
She's so much bigger this year!
Yeah, I am ready for vacation. How about you?
Ahhhhhhhh! No wonder you're antsy.
ReplyDeleteI like to take two vacations a year as well but it didn't work out that way for us this year. I like to go to the Caribbean in May and then go to the Cape (even if it's shorter than a full week) in late July or early August. If I ever win the lottery, I'm buying property in both of those places :D
I'm exhausted from the vacation I just took, so I could use another :) We're going to Michigan next weekend for some wine tasting and beach time, and I'm so looking forward to relaxing! I definitely can't blame you for being excited for vacation.
ReplyDeleteSince you mention it, we always took our family vacations in August when I was a kid, I guess as one last bit of fun before school started. I'm not tied to any sort of school schedule, but I can't break myself of thinking that summer is over at the end of August.
I had my vacation, and am now settling in for the massive heat of August. I may need to rethink this for next year! I hope the three weeks will zip by fast for you and you'll be in your happy place before you know it. :)
ReplyDeleteJust made reservations for Labor Day. Husband called the sailboat place to be sure he could rent a sunfish and they said they weren't sure they'd be open. All the college-aged staff is quitting August 17. Huh, since when did summer end August 17?
ReplyDeleteI have a trip in planning for October, so it's a long weekend here and there and then another break. It's the life!
I am ready!
ReplyDeleteTake me with you :)
Actually I am taking a week off to go to my brother's wedding in NY - so hopefully I will get some rest.
Just be glad it is only 3 weeks away. I don't get to enjoy my week on the beach until the first week of October . . . almost 8 weeks away!!
