They all sound great don't they? As a child we made annual treks from Arkansas to upstate New York and during the 80's and until 1993 I lived in the bay area of northern California but to take an actual grown up vacation, well it just ain't happened but............Punkin Darlin and I are taking our very first vacation together this summer but our choice didn't make the list. I've always wanted to see Europe but wanted to stay in the US and from everything I've ever read this spot is as close as it gets. Sooooooooooooo we're going to Boston!

BOSTON


To say I'm getting excited is an understatement. We will be leaving here June 30 and will fly back on July 7, so we plan to be in the city for the 4th and 5th and there are so many great events planned for that weekend. A mere "who hoo" just does not translate to what I am feeling!

So whether you actually GO on a vacation or do what we usually do and that is to enjoy a perfectly good STAYCATION just do something different to enjoy the sunshine, and leisure days of summer and especially make the time to relax, laugh and have fun!
