vacation...



as much as i love my work, i also love my vacation. thus far as a teacher, i've worked for six school years and three summers. i spent last summer finishing up graduate school which, though enjoyable, was not a vacation. this will be my second summer almost completely off (i'm working a mere two weeks) and it's been wonderful.

i'm three weeks into my time off, which has been enough time to adjust to a day-to-day life in which i have 0-3 things on my mind as opposed to 25 - infinity. i have time to take leisurely bike rides and trips to the beach:


time to climb on the rocks, and scamper over kelp and wet sand when the tide is out:


and time to run my toes through the warm sand when the sun is out:


ahhh..... vacation!

  1. Deciding how to use those days can be quite the challenge for those who equally love their careers and also love to travel.Avoid high-priced hotels or fancy resorts. Pack up your tent and head for the campground where you'll meet interesting people and enjoy new activities like swimming, horse shoes, and the game shelter. For a few dollars per night, you can park your car and put up a tent close to running water and indoor restrooms. Or if you have a camper, you can get an electric hook-up for cooking and heat.
