It's Almost Summertime...Yay!
The temperatures are rising and soon it will be summertime, when the livin’ is easy. Makes me want to kick back in a hammock with a good book and a cold drink. Have you made your plans? What are you doing this summer? Taking a family vacation or maybe going somewhere with a group of friends? Perhaps thinking of something a bit more…exciting?
I love traveling and have been planning my summer vacation since October. I wanted to get everyone together—family and friends—for a fun, relaxed vacation. My closest friends and I began looking for a really big rental house. We may have gone a little overboard, but we found an 11 bedroom, 2 million dollar lodge/house in the Smoky Mountains that we couldn’t resist.
I can see myself sitting on that swing with a cup of coffee watching the sun rise. (deep sigh)
For the Fourth of July holiday week the whole motley crew (15 adults—couples and singles—and 13 kids) will invade Gatlinburg Tennessee. The town will never be the same again. Only a few of us have met in person but we have all become good friends online. It’s a pretty diverse group. Let’s see, three of us are authors, one financial wiz, a stay at home mom, a Marine, a computer guru/super mom, a prison guard, a police dispatcher, a zoo administrator, a retiree, one set of newlyweds, a parts distributor for Boeing, and kids ranging in age from 4 to 17.
With such a large group coordinating meals and outings will be interesting. We still want to keep things relaxed so are not planning out every day. Instead we have a list of places we’d like to see and will play it day by day with the exception of going rafting. For that activity we’ll be making reservations in advance to make sure we all get to go. There’s something for everyone to do so it should be a very memorable trip. Theme parks, water parks, Knoxville zoo, Ober Gatlinburg, Ripley’s aquarium, horseback riding, rafting, hiking…I can’t wait!
I do want my next trip to be an all adults one though. Or maybe just me and the girls. Now that has some potential. Hmm…maybe if I write a story based on our vacation escapades I could write the trip off on my taxes. Oh, I’m getting some very interesting ideas.
If you’re single, you may be considering something a bit hotter, like indulging a summer fling. Oh, come on. It’s okay to admit it. The right person, the right set of circumstances… Yeah, baby! Perhaps two strangers sharing one amazing night. Or you’re on an extended trip by yourself and meet someone who is fun to be around and share in a bit of summer loving. Would you be able to keep it relaxed and easy going if there was an expiration date, like the end of vacation? I’m not sure if I could. Might be fun to try. Research, you know. All in the name of research. LOL!
What are your plans for the summer?
What are my plans for the summer? Why to meet with old friends and new friends for a week away from the normal grind.
We will do things together as a group but I also look forward to just kicking back and read a lot of DELICIOUS HOT! erotic books.
The rest of the summer will be filled with family and work. In addition, there will be more HOT stories to read too.

43 DAYS 11 HOURS 12 MINUTES AND THE SECONDS ARE COUNTING!
You can tell what my plans are for the summer! I’m looking forward to a break in the routine where I can sit on the veranda or balcony with my friends and family, share coffee, life, and laughter.
Until I read your post, I hadn’t realized what a diverse group we are. And what brought us together? The love of words, whether we write them, read them, or do both with them.
I can hardly wait!
TK
LMAO! Er…what TK said! There’s a marine going??? Sweet. I can’t wait :) Other than rafting with my 4 kiddos, and meeting the motley crew mentioned above, I’m headed to TX for another triathlon. Only 43 days left? Eeeek. October was a long time ago. Time for all the planning to come to fruition!

Hi Nicole, Your July 4th party sounds great. Hope you have a wonderful time meeting face to face.
My son is going to get a 2 week leave from Iraq and will bring his wife and 2 small fry here for a week. After that I’m visiting my daughter and her family in Virginia Beach for a while. Then in the fall my sister and I will go camping (tent & sleeping bags) probably at one of the national parks.
The rest of my time will be spent reading, playing on the cafes/blogs/etc, and did I mention Reading? LOL
sandie
My husband and I are staying home this summer. There will be barbecues with family and friends for entertainment.
I can’t wait to see y’all, Candy, TK and AM!
Sounds like a great summer, Sandie. I bet you’re really looking forward to seeing your son and his family!
Backyard barbecues are the best! I love relaxed activities with friends and family. That’s a great way to spend the summer, Estella.
Darn it! I wanted to change my details on this thing and can’t work out how. Maybe I should got to Shelli’s post to complain about technology.
I don’t want to comment on your post! I wanna come!!!! No far partying without me.
Have a great time and there better be lots of pix at the playground after.
I’m sure there will be tons of pics afterward, Rachel. You’re welcome to join us if you want to make that big flight.
Check it out! I’m in as the new me!
I’d love to make the flight but seeing how we’re supposed to fly to the US in October (7 of us) and then I’m coming to RT next April cash is a little tight. Hell! It’s non-existent!
Really need to see about UPS transferring Hubby over there.
Wish I was going with you.
We don’t have any set summer plans yet. We’ll probably take off out of the city at some point. I can’t wait.
Enjoy your vacation!!!!
