Did you go on any vacations? ~ I've been up to our lake house and to various spots throughout California a few times, but I haven't gone on a proper vacation yet. I'd been excited about a family vacation to Greece in June, but I had viral meningitis then and couldn't travel so I stayed home with my dad while they went and had a beautiful time. I was supposed to be leaving this Thursday to volunteer in China for three weeks and then do a bit of traveling in Korea, but I've decided not to go this year. I really need a break. Instead my boyfriend and I are going to Florida to visit my grandpa for a few days, and then I'm going to just chillax for a while. I want to sleep till at least 8 every morning, make music, play tennis, paint, hang out with my friends and family, surf, finally decorate my room at my mom's house, and lark about practicing the art of doing nothing! I'm going on a trip with my two best friends over Labor Day weekend, and then my dad, stepmom, grandpa, boyfriend and I are going to Bariloche, Argentina for 8 days to ski. I'm excited about it, but staying in town and having the luxury to spend my days however I wish will be an even better vacation.
