Some of you have already taken your vacation, some are looking forward to it, and some will--for one reason or another--not go anywhere this summer.
I've been working to complete the edits on my next novel, while writing the first draft of the one to follow. In between, Kay and I took four days in San Diego to rest, relax, unwind, and...oh, yes...see the Texas Rangers play three game against the San Diego Padres. We were celebrating our birthdays, which come within ten days of each other (and which have both passed, so don't worry about not sending a card).
The picture above was taken a couple of years ago when my friend, golf partner, and attorney (in that order) and I were in Molokai, where we managed to get in a round of golf pretty much every day. But that's another story.
What did you do/will you do on your summer vacation? Or will you be working through the summer? Any recreational plans for the near future? Inquiring minds want to know.

My husband and I have found ourselves working way too much this summer, so our getaway to Savannah and St. Simons Island for our anniversary was such a lovely respite! More and more we are seeing the value of vacation (it's so much more restful now that we don't have little children!), especially if we can unplug for a few days.
Anne, Glad you could enjoy some together time away. You're in the "donut hole," when the children are gone but you don't have grandchildren to occupy your time. Enjoy.
My hubby and I came from camping families and that's continued to be our vacation of choice. We have an RV and will be joining two of our married children at different times over the summer for lakeside holidays. We love the tranquility of our out-of-the-way destinations... lovely scenery, minimal traffic, no phones or TVs, easy meals, and lazy living...but all the comfort of home with a good bed and a dry place to play a game or read if the weather doesn't cooperate. I take my writing gear, and my laptop as well. It can be re-charged on the days we drive somewhere.
Hope you get to enjoy more of the summer in between your writing and editing.
Carol, sounds like fun. Personally, my idea of "roughing it" is to turn the AC up to 78 on a hot day, but if someone else would drive the RV I guess I'd be okay with it.
Thanks for your comment.
