Re: Summer Vacations?
 

The classes I'm taking this summer limit us to two weeks in August for vacation, and so we're just going to be heading to the cottage in Connecticut again... the quiet, rustic cottage with the 13 inch TV that only gets two stations (barely) and where the only Internet service is dial-up (I told you it was rustic). Oh, and while the toilet is indoors, the shower isn't! Shower during the day, you have to deal with people walking on the path that runs next to the house... shower at night and you shower with friends, namely, big, hairy, long-legged spiders.

But simple is worth it... especially for walks on the beach on evenings like this one and sunsets like this. Of course, for some excitement, we'll head over to the Foxwoods casino one night, and we're thinking of heading to Salem (Mass) for a whale watching trip, and of course, we'll visit my favorite place in all of Connect-the-dots... the Bookbarn (over 20 rescue cats roam the grounds... cats and books... best combination ever!)

Okay, so in my heart I'm dreaming of that cruise that goes into Russia... but that will have to wait until I finish school and Connecticut will do just fine for now.

I really want to go on a road trip with some other robogeeks to AZ or maybe CO. Hit up random tourist traps and national parks. I can't wait! :D

Moving back to Ann Arbor mid-June to teach a robotics course for middle school girls, then taking economics and math classes for the rest of the summer. Trips to IRI and possibly Nashville mid-July, and marching band week mid-August. Pretty busy :o
