"Take me away from here"

I want a vacation! I don't even need it to be by myself this time. The whole family can come. I'm totally fine with that. I just need a vacation. Want, need, whatever. It could be to the beach or to the mountains. Camping in tents or at a resort. Maybe camping on the beach or staying at a mountain resort, or the other way around. Lake Powell isn't until the end of August. I can't wait until the end of August. I'll lose my mind if I have to wait until the end of August. We could go to Yellowstone or Mt. Rushmore. Ooohh, maybe San Diego, or the Sand Dunes. I've never been to Florida, we could drive to Florida. Something relaxing. That's really my only requirement. I just want to be with my kids and my husband and not think about cleaning the house or making dinner or getting the kids to do their chores.
We've had a rough start to our summer. It hasn't really warmed up yet. In fact some days have been down right cold, and I'm not adjusting well to the loss of freedom I'm experiencing with all of the kids being home all day. I think that maybe a little family vacation might be just what I need to reset my attitude and start enjoying my summer. I don't know. It would be worth a shot though. Right? Right? I mean it couldn't hurt.
By the way, Sam, could you bring home take-out? I'm thinking Chipotle, chicken burrito bowl. You know what I like.

Driving to Florida would not be relaxing at all. You know that. I would love a vacation as well. Not going to happen. Good luck with your summer. Your post is exactly what I have been thinking the last week or so.
