My Summer: 2

Wanderlust...
We traveled this summer! We went everywhere and saw everyone!



I love to travel. Maybe it's because my parents were divorced and I spent 8 hrs of every other weekend in the truck riding from Houston to San Antonio, or maybe it's just innate? Either way, nothing makes me happier than good music coming through the radio, the dotted line on the pavement whizzing by, fields and trees passing along the window, and the intoxication of anticipated adventure. Restless by nature, I guess, born under a wandering star.













The list includes but is not limited to Austin (TX), Fredricksburg (TX), Fort Worth (TX), Little Rock (AR), and New Port (RI), and Boston (MS).

Summertime



School's out for summer! I can almost smell the spf 50, backyard swimming pool, and garden fresh green beans sizzling in a buttery iron skillet! It's time for water fun and free time! I'm dedicating this summer to "enjoying the summer".


Below I've compiled a list of local summer activities I'm aware of. Obviously it does not include EVERYTHING, but I hope it's a start for most of us. If you know of anything else in our neighborhood (or nearby) please leave a comment with the info. I'd love this post to be a summer staple for local families to denounce the children's, "I'm bored" squall.
