What is everyone doing this summer?

Mellie32 — Wed, 17 May 2017 12:32:47 GMT

Any big plans? Vacations?

I have no plans -- nothing. I can't wait to just be at home relaxing, take walks, go out shopping with friends, go to the library and spend time with my fam.

Going to Africa (alone) to visit my daughter and her family. I haven't seen my grandbabies in a year and a half. Not crazy about the location, but I will go wherever she is to see those children.

Hi @Mellie32 and Hi @I am still oxox.. nice topic for a thread!!

Well my husband is in the healing process from major dental surgery- takes between 4 and 12 months... hoping this works out as football season for us starts Sept. 4th and our Halloween vacation is, of course, late October.

Really we don't have any plans for summer- he works & I, I don't know what you'd call what little I don't do.

Enjoy yourselves!!

@pegomyheart, have a wonderful trip to Africa and enjoy those grandbabies!!

Our usual trip home to Pa for a few months. We are in the process of trying to decide if this snowbirding is something we want to continue to do or if it is time to give it up. A lot goes into making this decision. It's a ton of work for my DH. We are leaning more & more toward staying in Fl . all year, or selling the camper and doing some traveling to other places in the summer.

Enjoy your summer, Mellie. Good luck with the yard sale.

Oldest daughter is doing an internship in DC for 8 weeks this summer, so we'll be going there for a while just to make sure she's all settled. Youngest is starting college in the Fall, so we'll have to get all her dorm things. LOL

Other than that, just the usual nonsense.

Oh, we're going to a Food Truck Fest and Ravinia a couple of times.

All I know is it's going to go fast...

We just got back from a vacation. Being that I was in NYC at the very end of December and now this vacay, I doubt we'll be going anywhere else this year. We got the boat ready to go so we will be out on the weekends when we can. My DH's schedule doesn't appear to be leaving a lot of weekend time though.

We have a number of wedding, shower and graduations throughout the summer. It's funny, we haven't been to a wedding in a couple of years and now we have 4 of them this summer/fall.

We haven't been to a wedding in a long time.

If I get one more invitation, I'm going to have to get a second job for all the gifts we have to buy.

Driving to work this morning the forecast for today was on and after the rain chances but before the temps. for the day I changed the channel. Do not like to hear how hot it will be even in May. My mind went straight to Oct. weather. So my plan for the summer is stay as calm and chill as possible with triple deg. on a daily basis in Texas.

Retirement is my permanent vacation. Staying home witih Story and Sedona is all I need - taking walks, working in yard, exercising, lunch with friends, maybe a trip to an herb farm for lunch.

I am going to be a first time Mother of the Groom this summer!

One bridal shower down, one coming up soon. I am presently working on the rehearsal dinner decor and guest list, which I am hosting.

No vacay budget this year!

For the past couple of years, my health has been if-fy, no need to make plans, just to cancel them. But so far so good this summer. I do like to work in my yard. I have a lot of plans but the "flesh is weak" so I'll see how much I actually get done. I'm trying to grow a couple of fig trees and I just purchased 2 blackberry bushes.

I'm not a casino person, but I was invited to a free 2-day trip and I have no reason to say no. A friend goes often enough to have room & meal comps and I'm sure I wasn't first on the list of invitees, but there I go! I'll do a lot of people watching and hit the buffet. Hope there are plenty of King Crab legs.

There's a little water park in my town, I actually worked there a few years ago. It's not huge like a 6 Flags which makes it nice. not terribly crowded. I hope to go there at least once or twice. I like going in the evening, when it's not so hot. Want to take the little grandsons.

I'm kind of a homebody but my job is so stressful and my commute long, I really need a vacation sometimes, if only for a change of scenery. I have 2 cats & a dog so I don't like to stay gone long anyway.

Everybody needs something to look forward to.

Already have my vacation in. We get out before school lets out and most people travel. Spent 4 days in a log cabin in Ruidoso, New Mexico. Beautiful scenery. Mountains and trees.

Went to Roswell, also. LOL
