I’m not talking about big lofty dreams of travelling across the world. Those kind of dreams feel pretty far out of reach these days, and I’m content with that. I actually had a dream that we went on a trip, just Brady and I, to somewhere with an ocean. I don’t know much more than that, but I remember how refreshing it was. I woke up with the itch to make it happen.
As things are going, we are not going to be near an ocean anytime soon, but we have a lake trip planned in August that I am looking forward to now more than ever!! I’m anticipating some beach time, some lazy walking, some ice cream, and just soaking in the lake air that is somehow SO DIFFERENT than the air here at home. Its not even about the lake. Its about the lake life. The easy going, nowhere to be type of attitude we can carry there. I am SO ready to go!
We’re actually thinking we may try to drive up to the lake for a day next week. The kids can get reacquainted with our lake and surroundings, and we can get a feel for what they’ll enjoy most. I hope its the first of many day trips this summer.
As for trip trips, I decided a long time ago that I’m going somewhere hot for our ten year anniversary. Somewhere luxurious. Maui-ish. Don’t worry, I’ve told Brady my plan. He knows I’m going whether he comes or not, haha! So I’m never too twitchy for a trip when I know that one is coming up eventually 😉 We’re 8.5 years in, so its not too terribly far off. C’mon guys, support my beautiful fantasy!
Over the next year and a half, though, our beautiful lake life will have to do 🙂 I’m SO thankful for it!
