2018 Summer Plans

1. Working. New job, no vacation days accrued. Some short weekend trips. Nothing too exciting.
2. 5 weeks on my island in Georgian Bay and fixing up a little 14’ runabout with a 50hp with my kids.
3. Mostly staying home, but also a week on the beach in Nags Head, N.C., and a long weekend in Nawlins visiting my five best high school buddies
4. My baby girl, youngest of 3, turns 30 on Saturday. So it’ll be a beach picnic that day.
5. Festival of the Eno
