I just returned from a beautifully magical weekend in Minocqua, WI. Ahhhhh….
So much blissful relaxation! I read books (‘When You’re Engulfed in Flames’ by good ol’ Sedaris), went boating, took naps, ate brats (hella mustard), drank margaritas (frozen), went running, and basked in the warm sunshine with some amazing people. What more can one ask for?
Pictures to come soon- I have to wait for Fitz to download. What is it about the 4th of July that brings families together with such joyous intentions? This is a totally underrated holiday in my book. I really felt like I was surrounded by a lot of love and high fives…it was fab. Or maybe it was just all of the margaritas???!!
Hmmm.
Let it be known that it is an amazing feeling to get away from cell phones, computers, job stress, and the rigors of day to day life. Don’t be afraid to free yourself from technology- there is no better way to commemorate the 4th!!!
I leave you with a song from my running playlist:

Okay, here is yet another song:

P.S. Yeah, that’s right. SOUL FOR REAL!!! Don’t act like you’re too good for a semi-formal roller skating party! And yeah, this song is totally 1993. You know you love it.

The 4th really isn’t the same here, at least not for me. It’s so hot (113) that I’m not even pretending I’m going to fireworks most years. I did hear what had to be the finale as I was falling asleep this year though. I had to be to work at 530a, so staying up for fireworks just wasn’t an option this year, regardless of heat. Oh, but we had a phenomenal lightning storm the night before. It was beautiful.
