Summer, Here Again
Not quite three months ago, I announced that Spring had arrived, and now, it's nearly Summer. I will miss the cooler temperatures, but I'm ready for Summer this year. I have a lot of plans for the season, so I'm more than ready to get things started. This week is my last week at work before my annual two-week vacation. I went abroad last year, so this year, much like in 2023 , is what I call my "Off-Year Vacation." Instead of traveling abroad, I do a mix of domestic travel, hanging out at home, enjoying my favorite places during the weekdays, and spending time with my friends. While I absolutely cherish a trip to my great love, Europe, my off-year vacations tend to be less hectic and more relaxing. This weekend, I'm heading West for a long weekend. Then, I'll spend about four days on the home front before heading South for six days. On our return, we'll celebrate a birthday and a wedding, before wrapping up what should be an epic two weeks.
