Summer Travel

My favorite time of the year is here . . . SUMMER BREAK . . . which means we will be out exploring new places and maybe some old favorites too.  It has been a sad few months so nothing like getting out of the house and finding happiness on the road!

Follow us as we travel this summer at our travel blog,  On The Go!  I have some fun trips planned and still trying to fill some open spaces too!  I am SO excited about two places that I can not wait.  One will go with the family and one will be my first solo trip!  I am a bit nervous and sad but know that it will be rewarding too . . . maybe it will bring me some inner peace too.  I am often asked how I can be away from home for so long?  The answer is easy . . . I find happiness away from home . . . away from the day to day routine . . . from being the person that must do everything around the house inside and outside. . . . being the bad guy that must enforce the rules . . .exploring new places . . . experiencing things that I often see in books . . . meeting people and chatting from time to time even though I am an introvert.  Being home alone with Colin as a solo parent is very lonely and sad at times so if I remove myself from home then all that disappears even if it is just for a short period of time.  So here's to a summer of fun and finding smiles on the road!

We are ON THE GO . . . where will we go?

FINALLY!

Colin has been out of school for a week!  I still can not believe he will start high school in August!  Seriously how do they grow up so fast?  Let me tell you he has been living it up staying up super late and sleeping even later!  I think he woke up about the time I got home from work and needed a nap so guess it was perfect timing.  Boy is he in for a shock when we go on our first trip . . . we will be up early and ready to explore.

I am FINALLY out of school/work until August!  It is sort of bittersweet though.  I was sort of counting down at work thinking this is the last time I have to see this kid or write this report or update a student file.  I should be packing up and moving, but we know how that worked out for me (see the post moving on . . . left behind below).  However, I am packing, but it is for my temporary escape from Texas.

Let me tell you it is blazing H-O-T right now and next week looks just awful.  Seriously triple digits in late May and early June.  While I am sad about the prospect of not moving . . . I am looking forward to getting out and exploring some really cool places!  I wish I had a super cool photo to post showing me running from school with my lap top in tow, but I got nothing! 

Happy Summer Break and Safe Travels too. 
It will take me a week or so to update the other blog so stay tuned!
