Summer Road Trip

As the summer season approaches, many of us start to think about where we might go for a summer get-away. Some are planning a big family vacation, maybe to some far off destination. Others may be thinking more about several different day trip excursions closer to home. Most of us have numerous options to choose from.
For me, in recent years, it usually revolves around some family event that we want to attend. It vary rarely has been a purely optional destination, just to get away for a relaxing day or two, of site seeing or casual recreation. I would like to get back to that.
I have wrote before in this blog about trips that I have thought about for years, but have never been able to work into our schedule. Monument Valley is one that I think about every once in awhile, but have never been able to accomplish. Maybe this will be the year.
Many of us have those family obligations that often cut into our free time, and make it difficult to work in some of those activities that are in the back of our mind for a summer get away. Family is important, and we do enjoy doing things with them, but a little stress free trip would be nice too. Here's to hoping that day dreams aren't the only get away we will get this summer.

The open road to somewhere fun, . . . . or,  is it just a day dream?
