Right around the corner…..

So today is the beginning of a beautiful summer for us. Joseph still has one month of school left, but John is officially on summer vacation. This is one of the perks to being married to a college professor – every once in a random while you get the gift of a summer off with pay. So he will just be working here and there for the next four months and, I, will be able to really get to work on my writing. I won’t be multi-tasking my life away. Aside from the ability to do more writing I want to take a family trip. This is something we have never done – ever. Sure, we get to go see the family in Florida, but we never take a trip just for pleasure.

I have really been wanting to go to the Smithsonian. I don’t know if this is the best trip to take with a six year old and a two year old, but I am dying to go. Especially now that they have a Hokusai exhibit up. This image (Boy Viewing Mt. Fuji) is one of my favorites.

It looks to be a really nice retrospective. Maybe we can get it in gear enough to go see that. We’ll see.

Ps. I have lost all my moving to-do lists. Typical.
