So yes, it's true, I have the WHOLE summer off. And I won't lie, it's fabulous. But I don't sit around all summer on my butt, on the beach, drinking pina coladas. I read books I want to read with my students next year, I work on my TpT products, I plan lessons for September. But yes I do sit around on my butt a decent chuck of time, reading books, at the beach, doing jigsaw puzzles, and lots more relaxing, fun stuff.
Every summer I take a few vacations. This year, Cape Cod, Killington, Montauk, and Gatlinburg. And the annual trip to Wildwood with the family. When people hear the Jersey Shore they cringe. They probably should, I do. Wildwod is different though. It's a family town, lots of 1950s motel with a gigantic beach and a boardwalk. We've gone every year since I was a kid, and my mom has gone every year since she was a kid! It's a tradition, starting with my great grandmother and now down to my niece.
A well deserved break after all the hard work during the school year. I think it's great that you do some prep work for September, but you also balance it with relaxing with your family!

ReplyDeleteWow, how lucky you are to be able to take 3 vacations during the summer! That sounds like a real treat. :)

DeleteNo kids of my own means many vacations. ;)
DeleteSounds like a lovely summer. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteSounds like a great teacher summer: a little relaxing, a little professional development, and some looking to the new school year Glad you've also got some true vacation time in there. Enjoy!

DeleteWhat great pics! I'm a little jealous...my son plays on an all-star baseball team, so that has consumed our summer. I'll live vicariously through you...lol!

I get that a lot at risk too. Having no kids frees up your time., 😉
DeleteLove this post. Haha! I tell myself every May that I will NOT sit around on my butt all summer. But then I do. It's like you said, though, when I am sitting around it's because I'm working on TPT products, or school planning, or reading for professional development. Have a great rest of the summer!
ReplyDeleteA little work, a little play. It's all in the balance,
DeleteI have a friend who has a house in North Wildwood, and we get to rent it every year, but only from Monday to Friday, because you know, she's got to be there every weekend. She's done that since she was a kid, and her mom....sound familiar?! Must be a Wildwood thing!
ReplyDeleteWe are a loyal bunch! Nice to hear from someone else who enjoys the Jersey Shore.
