Our road trip from NJ to Colorado (and back), visiting my friends there, seeing some moose, Wentworth Con, and just relaxing days
2. Favorite thing I ate this summer?
Cheese curds! When in WI in June, we stopped by Mar's Cheese Castle and they had sooo many different flavors of cheese curds so we picked some up with some sausage sticks and they were delicious!
3. Movies I saw

5. Ready for fall or hold onto summer?
I ALWAYS want to hang on to summer, it's my favorite season!
6. What's different about summer schedule than the rest of the year?
Definitely work; we get to work remotely 3 days/week as opposed to during the rest of the year. Also it's our down time, so not as stressful or busy.
7. How do you take a break/relax in summer?
Reading and spending time on my deck, or going to the movies when it's super-hot. Hoping to get a beach day in at least once but it's either been a heat wave or pouring rain all summer!
8. Any trips on the calendar for the rest of the summer?
Hmm... I don't think so. Just the Jersey Shore for the day (hopefully!)
9. Any summer concerts this year?
I really had to think about this one, but surprisingly no!
10. When does summer end in your world?
When school starts, typically right before or after Labor Day.
