If I Were...

...a rich girl (na na na na na na na), I would travel the world. Or at least take a 2 week reprieve from this thing I call work. I am at a loss for patience today and feel like aggravation and stress will stay with me at least through the end of the week before I get a few days of relief. Where would I go if money and time were no object?

Inspiration [to leave!]: this desk I shall not photograph.

Other places I WOULD NOT hate:

A cruise!! You're forced to relax. No cell, no internet. A floating vacation.

Hawaii.
Never been. I imagine never ending beautiful scenery and endless warm weather.

Italy.
Because what's not to love? History. Architecture. Food!

PS - Please note the first two pictures were posted on the Travelzoo site. While daydreaming of vacationing, deals for those trips caught my eye.

Good Bye Summer.

Insert sad face here.

I know summer doesn't actually end until the 22nd of this month, but we all know that Labor Day Weekend is the un-official end of summer. Boooo. Good bye lazy days, good bye beach, good bye long days of sunlight.

Since the summer is about to wrap up, I realized I never posted pictures of my vacation to Cape May. Also, I need to clean out my phone and so what better way to get this post going.

Our home for a few days. What's not to love about the Virginia Hotel?
Cute little Inn right on Jackson street, a block from the beach, beach service, and daily breakfast on the porch!

Just a few of the many Victorian homes in Cape May.

Hot Dog Tommy's!! (God I could go for some of that gluttony right now.)

Serenity.

I seriously have maybe another 20-40 pictures I could post but that would mean editing and uploading and then me getting cranky. Plus I have more blog posting to do so this should suffice. 'Til next year Cape May!
