I'm Putting Myself On A Time-Out

When I was a wee one my parents made sure my brothers and I were comfortable with traveling. We knew that in most hotels there was a bible tucked in the drawer of a nightstand and that continental breakfasts were not all that great but the make your own omelet bars were amazing! We usually wouldn't go very far, just to some surrounding cities to check out what their daily life had to offer. Sometimes we would go to a theme park or go check out a unique hotel. Either way it was the exploration of somewhere new that was the main event.

I owe my love for travel to my parents. I am still intrigued by places I have never been. I have this innate urge to pack up and go! Thankfully Jon and I share the same view on traveling and we try to do it as much as possible. However this year the stars didn't really align for jet setting (read: trips need to be paid for with money). So after I graduate and my time at my internship is up I am going to be taking the month of August off! Granted it's not a vacation with white sand beaches, or tropical drinks or...ok I am getting off track right now. 

But I will look at this time as a chance to do things that I really want to do. I have not had a chance to do this in so long, scratch that...ever. I am actually really excited to take the time off before starting my new job in September. So, no, I won't have to pack for this little time away but it's something new I have never experienced and that is part of what I love about traveling. It's kinda like that really cheesy song, "I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me".
