This Weekend: Unofficial Start of Summer!

Memorial Day marks the unofficial start of summer in the States. Summer sales are already under way, and you can't shop anywhere without running into swimsuits, suntan lotion, bug repellant, and sunglasses. Families are already brainstorming vacations for the summer and kids are excited that the school year is almost over.
My favorite summer memory was summer camp when I was a child. I think every child should have the opportunity to go to summer camp at least once in their lives. At summer camp, I made friends with people that I am friends with to this day. I learned so much about how far I can push myself to conquer my fears. I was active, and not sitting on a couch watching daytime talk shows while the folks were at work. Summer camp gives children the opportunity to be children, and also learn a few things here and there.
Even though I'm in my 30's, I still look forward to summer. I always associate summer as being a season of opportunity and romance. Isn't there something romantic about the summer season? The warm air, the light wind, the warm sand under your feet, a night sky, the moon dancing on the water....it just seems so romantic to me.

Anyways, I hope everyone enjoys their long weekend this weekend. Happy unofficial start of summer! Also, Memorial Day is more than just the unofficial start of summer. There is a special meaning to the day, always remember Memorial Day for what it is really about.
Don't drink, drive, cause trouble, etc. I don't have bail money!
