Starting to Feel Like Summer...

Even though it's still not the warmest here (I think a high of 63 today?) I'm still feeling like summer is fast approaching, and I couldn't be more excited about it! Last night, Dan and I were talking about all our plans for this summer, and I can't wait. If only I didn't have to work; those 40 hours a week really cut into vacation time! :)

Anyway, first up is my family and Dan's family coming to his graduation; yay! I can't believe that's in just a few weeks! Then we'll head up to the lake and spend Memorial Day (and our first anniversary) there, which will be fun. Dan and I are going to spend the 4th of July on Mackinac Island; we are SO excited. I haven't been there for probably 10 years or so, and he's never been, so this should be fun. We're staying at the Murray Hotel, which is right downtown. For those of you who aren't familiar with Mackinac, it's this really quaint island in Michigan (the UP) and it doesn't allow any motorized vehicles, so everything is horse-drawn carriages, bikes, or good old-fashioned walking (it's only 8 miles across, so it's not like you have far to go). I can't wait to visit; it should be fun!

I also want to hit Great America, the Dells, and a bunch of other fun weekend excursions; why oh why can't we be like the Europeans who have 6 weeks of vacation?!?!? This 10 days stuff really sucks, especially since I use half of it to travel home for Christmas (hint, hint, everyone should move to Madison to be by us :) ) Oh well. I figure when I'm a stay at home mom in just a few short years, I'll have unlimited vacation!
