Summer Break Wind-Down

Find Your Family Fun With Smyrna Vinings Marietta Macaroni Kid

July 22, 2016
This week's edition is a little late - I've been mourning the end of summer break. I know some people can't wait to return to a routine and get their kids BACK to school., but I'm just not one of them. Especially right now, when it's about 100 degrees out, and the only thing I want to do is go to a lake, the pool, back to the beach...preferably WITH my kids!

We did have a wonderful trip to Jekyll Island last week.  It was our first visit, and I truly loved the place. It's just SO peaceful! Jekyll is truly unlike any other beach/ island I've ever been to before.  Many thanks to the Holiday Inn Resort Jekyll Island for hosting us for a couple of nights and making it extra special. We WILL be back! Stay tuned and in the next couple of weeks I'll do a full recap and review of our trip. I figure once school gets going, everyone is going to start thinking about that September break! Jekyll Island is defnitely a place I'd LOVE to visit in the fall. When then weather cools down a bit, it will be a much better time of year for riding bikes, playing golf, touring the beautiful historic sites, etc.

The photo above is from Driftwood Beach at the far end of the island. Such an amazing place. And here's a collage of photos taken at the resort. Goodbye summer break. I hate to see you go. (I can hardly say goodbye summer in this heat, however!)

My oldest starts middle school this year, so I'm feeling a little flustered /sad/happy - well, I'm not sure what I'm feeling exactly! I just know we're in for some big changes.

Good luck to everyone as you do your back-to-school shopping, head to school meet and greets and orientations and wrap up your summer break fun.  And if your kids aren't in school yet - lucky you!

Next week we plan to squeeze in as many fun activities as possible, so the edition might be a little short. Starting early August however, SVM Macaroni Kid will be back full force.

Thanks for reading, and have a wonderful week!
