So it feels like I just got back from Hawaii ( uhhmm maybe it's because I just did not even a few weeks ago ; ) and yet I'm getting ready to go on vacation again! I could learn to deal with this type of schedule : ) This time I will be heading up to my grandmother's cabin and the lake with some of my family. It's been tradition to take this trip every summer since I was a baby and I don't think I'll ever be too old to visit the cabin.
I just got back from Barnes & Noble and now I'm all stocked up on good reads for vacation! I walked in for one book and came out with THREE!!! Typical, right? = ) But they were buy two get one free so...... I couldn't resist.
I ended up with these:

| A pretty picture from the Garnet Hill magazine that I thought highly appropriate for this topic! = ) If only I had looked like that when I shopped for my books. Guess I was way cuter in my hot pink running shorts?!?! |

| Ready and waiting! |
Hence, I cannot wait for leisure time at the lake and cracking open these books!
While I'm super excited to spend time with my family, I am rather bummed that I'll be missing Charles' Tae Kwon Do belt testing this weekend. If I haven't mentioned it before, my boyfriend is a TKD instructor at a local school and I have yet to watch one of his belt testings. Poor guy and he is sooo good to me!
Anyone else taking any more trips over the summer? Are you in the middle of a good read?
I totally have that Lady Almina book! I haven't read it yet, but it's on the near-future list! :) You'll have to let me know if it's good!
ReplyDeleteYou should definitely read it then and we can have a book discussion about it! : ) The minute I saw Downton Abbey on the front cover I knew I had to get it. Are you reading anything good right now?
DeleteOh those books look wonderful! I was driving by Barnes and Noble last night and almost stopped! I don't have anything to read at the moment! Can't wait to hear if the Real Downton Abbey is good!
ReplyDeleteYou should totally stop at B&N; you even have one 2 minutes from your house!!! : ) Soooo many great books, I had to stop myself from getting any more. I need to read these first!
Deleteoh gosh, a lake house and relaxation while reading sounds like a dream! love this post! enjoy your time!
ReplyDeleteand i love the show downton abbey, so i'm curious to hear what you think of the book!

Yes, it always seems to be the dream week of the summer! I also hear there might be chilly weather too, even better for snuggling up with a good read : ) I'll be doing a follow up post on Downton Abbey (book & show!) pretty soon. I love how I even have my boyfriend watching the show with me!!! I don't know about you, but I can't wait for Season 3 : )
DeleteHi Maggie! I was at Barnes and Noble last night (it's my happy place) and almost bought the Lady Almina book. I adore Downtown Abbey and would probably love this book, so I'm curious to hear what you think of it once you've read it. You're going to have an incredible time reading and relaxing on the water! :-)
ReplyDeleteI will definitely be doing a follow up post about the book once I really get into it! : ) I've just been having a summer blast with a good friend of mine for the past few days....got to LOVE summer vacation on the lake!
