I know I say this every month, but I cannot believe it’s already July. Where has my summer gone? I’ve got a 4 day workshop coming up this month and pair that with lesson prep….my summer is pretty much done ha!
Before I get started on today’s post, I want to thank everyone who reached out regarding yesterday’s exciting announcement! We are so very excited and I plan on doing lots of posts that can hopefully help someone in the future!
1. Will you go on a a summer vacation this year? Yes! We’ve got a trip to Rosemary Beach later this month! I’m so ready for a vacation! I don’t think I’ve ever NOT had a summer vacation??
2. Do nothing but relax or a pack it all in vacation? It depends on the kind of vacation–if it’s somewhere like the beach or tropical, I’m relaxing and laying out and eating a ton. But if it’s somewhere like California, then I’m packing it all in!
3. What month do you like to vacation? I will vacation any month of the year! Actually, I could vacation all the time ๐ But in reality, because I’m a teacher the summer is always better for me.
4. Cruise: YES or NO? NO WAY!!! I’ve been on two cruises and I’m never going on another. The first cruise was when I was in college with a friend and her parents. We were on a 7 day cruise during New Years. The first few days were great…..until we hit a cold front in the ocean. Did you know cold fronts can cause 16 feet waves?! I have never been so terrified, sick, missing my mom, etc in my entire life!!! So I told Dustin I’d give it one more shot after we got married, but I refused to do it during winter ha! And I just didn’t enjoy it–I didn’t enjoy being stuck on the ship with so many people and the pool was so tiny that I could never go cool off in it on our days at sea. So long story short–don’t ever ask me to go on a cruise with you.
5. Favorite vacation tradition? Probably going to the beach every year. It helps living in Alabama and being so close to beautiful beaches.
6. Most memorable vacation? Lots!!! Seeing and hiking in Yosemite, mopeding around New Orleans, eating the best food in Savannah, and most recently, getting on a detour through Indiana cornfields with my bff….I could go on and on!
7. Pack light or Pack it all? Pack it all!
8. Hotel, Condo or House? I like them all! I really like hotels because they come in a clean your room for you ๐๐ That’s a vacation to me!!! We rented the cutest carriage house in Rosemary Beach so I’m excited about that!
9. Favorite thing(s) to eat on vacation? I’m all about local foods while on vacation. Do not take me to a Cheesecake Factory or any other chain restaurant because I want to immerse myself in the culture and eat all the good foods! My only exception: Chick-fil-a
10. Warm or Cold Destinations? I want to do another cold destination! A couple of years ago (actually, before we met our now-husbands), my best friend and I flew to Washington DC for a vacation during December. It was freezing and we toured lots of museums for the sake of thawing out! My dream is to go to NYC during December (which we were going to do this year but instead we’re adopting….maybe next year!) and Dustin and I both want to go to Colorado to ski–well, he can ski and I’ll sit by the fire and read!
