Default Where are you spending your summer?

So, as the title suggests, where is everyone spending their time this summer?

I am up on Drummond Island in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Being a teacher allows me to spend 2 months up here fishing, playing in the mud and enjoying the local establishments from time to time.

We'll be here all summer. Vacation will be in November. We're probably doing the annual Disney World trip -- it's become tradition!

At 115* in the desert versus 85 to 90* in the mountains, I'll be spending more time in the mountains playing around, doing a little fishing, etc. Been thinking if there is money in the vacation fund of going to Yellowstone again, been nearly 25 years since I have been there.

Inside where's there's A/C! I never really worked a job that allowed me to enjoy A/C until now, so I'm a bit spoiled and rather reluctant to venture outside of the cool breezes for too long. My old central A/C unit was also from 1960 which made it almost unaffordable to run.

My wife also invested in a new pool, this one is about a foot wider and a foot deeper (making it about 6" wide and 1 1/2" deep) than the last one, which is still up in the rafters of the garage from winter. So if I'm outside, I'm likely to be relaxing by the pool with an ice cold adult beverage.

Seems like most of my summer has been at work, but we have had some chances to get out on the lake and enjoy it some.

Just got back from a Disney Trip ( We are regulars ). We will be back down for sure at Christmas-time and probably a shorter trip over Labor Day weekend! Going up to the Riffraff East truck rally in Newport, Tennessee, the last weekend of this month. We have a couple of work/play trips to the beach in August.

I took a day trip to the lake with my parents on sunday. The lake was a real nice blue because of all the rain we have been getting. I also got to wash the dust off my skis (couldn't use them for the last 2 years because of draught). They made me drop one ski so I could learn to slolom like my dad. I did well and didn't crash...still like having one for each foot though.
