As we slog into another work week, and pick up the blogging slack for slacker Edgy Mama, all the heavy lifting got us thinking about summer vacations. We haven’t really had one this year. Between replacing old appliances and trying to pump some extra cash into the Ashvegas retirement fund (aka Powerball - the jackpot’s up to $135 million), we just haven’t done anything this year.
In year’s past, we’ve hit the Virgin Islands, the real Vegas, Jamaica and pre-Katrina Nawlins. We’re living off rum-soaked memories of topless sunbathers, pulse-pounding slot pulls and the dulcet sounds of Jackson Browne at Jazzfest.
But that was then. This is now. The Edgy Mama clan is living up in New Hampshire, but we need new people to envy. Time to share. What are you people in the blogosphere doing for summer vay-kay? Might as well live it up now, folks. It’s going to be over soon. We’re already seeing the back-to-school displays up in Wal-Mart. So tell us what you did (or plan to do) for your summer vacation.

I hit the beach.
It was lovely.
sweet…
The husband and I did Cancun, Mexico. The family entirely did Wisconsin Dells, waterpark capital of the world!
I love sun…
I spent a week in the basement trying to scrub the scent of fry grease and failure out of my pores…and I drank a beer from every country that participated in the G-8 summit, after that I dont remember anyting until this moment.
We spent a week in Paris sans kids. Had a fab time. The city was full of Americans. Heard American English everywhere I turned. Also noticed a few things about French attire: they wear high heels - and actually walk around the city in them. Ouch! Another observation: bra straps showing is OK. Saw assorted colors and even clear plastic straps. Fashion: Empire waist is in; raw fabric edges are in; high heeled espadrilles are in…
I’m a cat. I don’t go on summer holidays.
Just got back from our first family vacation in 3 years - down to Edisto Island for a whole week. Was really great - but in spite of all the sunscreen and hat and beach umbrella - still too much sun!
