Wanting A Vacation

It feels like it's been forever since we've been to the beach as a family since we forfeited a tropical vacation for a winter one. Last year, instead of our traditional beach getaway, the kids and I headed to Boston for a once in a lifetime trip.  We saw all the things like museum art and exhibits.  Shopped at all the stores like Target and The Dollar Tree.  Ate at all the places like Chipotle and The Cheesecake Factory. A lot of what we did were first time experiences for my kids like going to the zoo and the aquarium.  We even took a trip to the big apple, New York City. Seeing the Rockafellar Center Christmas tree and going to central park was the most magical experience.  And I would not trade that vacation for the world.  But being back in Costa Rica and then having the lockdown, I have missed the beach sorely.

July is fast approaching, and it would be a nice treat to get away from it all for just a few days, to relax in the sunshine on a white sandy beach.  I would love to chill poolside with a cocktail and relish in some much needed family time.  Plus lets not forget all the amazing food to be had. 

It's not like I need a vacation.  Lets be honest, with the kids not in actual school there isn't much of that hustle and bustle to worry about. We take our time at home with lessons and we have plenty of downtime.  But just the thought of a vacation sounds nice.  A quick family trip to get away from reality for a little while and re-group.  With everything happening in the world right now with the virus pandemic and the senseless violence, I need to unplug. 

I'm just saying, a vacation would be nice.  It would be something to look forward to, after all who doesn't love planning a vacation.
