Not Knowing the Boundaries Of Our Country.

 

 

Friday. Yipee. Our last Friday for the school year!!!

Does anyone have any big travel plans for the summer?

Share. Please.

Me? I want to go to Costa Rica. Badly. Coach and I went in 2005 and loved it…I want to share it with my girls before they go off and leave me forever.

It won’t happen this summer, so I thought to myself, perhaps NEXT summer? Then I remembered I made a promise many years ago, that I will have to fulfill next summer.

I told both the girls that when each of them graduated, we would take them on a trip to Europe.

Yeah, What was I thinking?

What do you think the chances are that they will realize Costa Rica is not located in Europe?   

I will answer that. I think my chances are pretty good. For example: 

A few days ago Linds suggested we go to Key West this Summer… and then asked me if we needed passports to go there.

I then reminded her Key West was in the same state that she lives in. The State of confusion.

I love my globe challenged family.

Wishing you all a relaxing weekend doing something that you love with somebody that you at least like.

Finish this Sentence:

If I could go anywhere this summer I would go to: ___________.

Happy Friday my Peeps.

Bee someone special, no matter where you are.

  1. \”state of confusion\” = hilarious! Well, we for one have always complained to our schools about the lack of state history.

  2. Oh my gosh. Your little blondies are just as funny (and bright) as can be! A passport for Key West. Brilliant. I think you can totally say Costa Rico is in Europe. She will never find out!

  3. You know where I would go? A HOTEL. I'm just so tired of camping – having gone once this summer.When you go to Costa Rica (which I'm pretty sure is in southern Europe) take lots of notes for me because I just made a similar promise and am sincerely hoping my daughter has a pitiful memory.

If you need any ideas about where to go or stay, or eat, please email me – it's not too early to start planning now! Have a great weekend yourself.

  9. I'm easy. I would go straight to my hammock on my deck, under a shady umbrella, with the stack of books that I keep adding to every summer vacation [it keeps growing cuz I never get a chance to read them. 😦 ] A lovely little margarita wouldn't hurt, either. 😉

  10. Suz – I think you may be able to put one over on your daughters! LOL! I'm sure any vacation as a family will be lots of fun and there will be no objections from them! By the way, Costa Rica is on the top of my hubby's list to visit, and his next place is Belize. Mine right now is Italy, then you in Florida (ha!) and then maybe Costa Rica….

  14. Costa Rica – Im in – pick me!!! I think COnnor would love it there! He may not want to come back – then probably because who would cook for him and do his laundry (its no Dude Ranch). Me Im off to Mich and drive to SC with my girlfriend. Then off to Bimini for a long weekend. Im looking for a good book – do you have a suggestion? Kel

  15. That is too cute. Sheesh, someday, maybe we WILL need passports to travel in the U.S. *sadness*But on a happier note, I have always heard good things about Costa Rica and your pictures remind me….I must go there before I die. I am traveling to the U.S. this summer, the best spot ever! (Ok, right now, I might be biased.) Have a great weekend!

(that's how I finish the sentence)Several different friends are regular Costa Rica visitors and they all seem to love it…If enough folks from here go, it's charm will be ruined I'm sure.That has happened with many cool spots in Mexico. Jen's \”we for one\” has me laughing!!

  29. Do you want to know what I think? NO? Well, I think you and Coach should sign up to go on The Amazing Race! You look so cute on that zip line, and Coach seems like the type of guy who wouldn't mind eating bugs and stuff.
