1. Any vacations you are looking forward to this summer?
We are planning a trip to Hawaii in April with my in-laws that I’m VERY much looking forward to. Though it will be our first time, my in-laws have been several times including getting married in Maui ten years ago! We’ll be in Hawaii over their anniversary, so I’m excited to celebrate with them and to experience Hawaii for the first time with my hub. We’re visiting Oahu, Maui, and Kauai… so if anyone has any travel recommendations please send them my way!
2. What is your favorite article of summer clothing (shoes are included)?
Flip flops! I’m totally a flip flop girl. I wish I could wear them year round. My favorite pair are Kinos that my sister brought me home from Key West. I’ve had them for years and refuse to retire them. I used to have another pair as well but a certain Boston Terrier thought that they’d make a good snack one day. Baaaad dog.
3. What is your favorite summer drink (alcoholic or non)?
Non-alcoholic: Water. Boring, right?
Alcoholic: Wine. Or Mojitos. Kev grows mint in his herb garden each year which makes for wonderfully fresh mojitos.
4. Do you tan or burn?
Neither anymore. I embrace my paleness.
5. Any goals you are working toward this summer?
Too many to list! I’ve been doing a lot of thinking and goal-making this time of year, both business and personal.
6. What is your favorite summertime food?
Is guacamole a summertime food? For us it’s a year-round food, but it seems summery to me. I love me some guacamole… and really, anything with avocado.
7. What song most says “summer” to you?
“Summer time” by Sublime. I’m a huge Sublime fan and have been since college. This song totally reminds me of college road trips.
8. Any home improvement goals planned for this summer?
Kev has a goal to remodel our master bathroom. It’s a huge project and I’m not sure that it’ll be done this summer but it’ll be lovely to get rid of our builder bathroom.
9. What is one thing you hate to see at the beach?
Banana hammocks. Nuff said.
10. Did you ever go to a summer camp?
I did. I have fond memories of friends and the adventure of sleeping in a big tent, singing around the campfire, a rad zipline across the pond, and the excitement of getting to sleep on the mountaintop with an amazing view. And not-so-fond memories of being woken at the crack of dawn by our counselor’s annoyingly cheerful singing, an ice cold waterslide, and being forced to wear my headgear during the game hour in the evenings. No, I will not share photos of that.
Krista - Ahhhhh good ole summer camp! We had so much fun! You forgot to mention the bear cave we almost got stuck in and that the lovely night on the mountain ended with us waking up half way down the mountain! And for those of you who would like to see those pictures she’s speaking of….I’ll post them
for the right price!!!
Isabel - hehehe…banana hammocks.
Melissa - <3 Hawaii. I visited a friend in Oahu. While you are in Oahu, you must go snorkeling in Hanauma Bay! You can arrange for pick-up & rentals for about $20/person. We also went to the Paradise Cove Luau, which was the highlight of our trip. They have activities you can participate in before dinner, and the performers were amazing!
