Summer is almost over! Share your stories!
The end of summer is upon us! As we soak up these last few weeks of summer, I'm curious to hear about everyone's experiences. The season is often a time for trying new things, traveling, and making memories. I'd love to hear about the highs and lows from your past few months.
What was the single best thing you did this summer? It could be a wild trip, a quiet moment of discovery, a new hobby you picked up, or an unforgettable meal. And on the flip side, what was the biggest summer misadventure you had? Perhaps it was a travel plan that went sideways, an activity that didn't live up to the hype, or just a hilarious blunder you can now laugh about.
Let us know what your best and worst summer story is!

Well, the first week of august is really the "beginning" of my "summer" - i missed most of summer.
I spent most of June and July in a — secure facility (no, not jail) — and the end of July was spent at Disney World (an alternate reality) and Universal's Epic Universe.

The high points: I saw a glacier for the first time in Glacier Bay, saw some orcas, did a (very) short kayak paddle among some Alaskan islands near Ketchikan, and passed through the spot where the gold rush miners crossed from Skagway, Alaska into Canada's Yukon Territory.
The low points: Nothing worth talking about.

@Coach Jon, This summer my spouse and I traveled Europe to see Iceland, Belgium, Germany, Czech Republick, Monaco, and Portgual. This was to celebrated a wedding anniversary, my forth coming birthday in October, and my retirement. We were gone for three weeks. Also, we were traveling with friends and seeing friends in these countries. The temperatures in Europe were nice as compared to here in the States. In Czech Republic we were to the hot water springs and Pilsen for beer - which got a sample of the Czech beer.

No fun stuff this summer. Surviving the humidity is a full-time job when playing tennis 3x per week in it. My wife went to New Orleans this month (in August!!) and to Pigeon Forge, TN in June, so she did the traveling. She wants us to go somewhere in October, and we might, but she already spent the money.
Sorry I am so boring, but I need an excuse to travel, usually a tennis tournament. If we go, it may be to the Gulf, but only IF it is cooler and there is no hurricane brewing.
I did get a new refrigerator installed; that was ordeal enough.

The highlight of my summer was visiting Loreto, Mexico! I think the pictures speak for themselves. 😊

I've just returned from a 2 week, 3900 mile, motorcycle trip where we (wife and I each ride Harley's) rode from Vegas to Grand Teton NP - Yellowstone NP - Glacier NP - Seattle - down the coast on the 101 & 1 - Avenue of the Giants - San Francisco - Yosemite NP - Vegas. This country is a magnificent place to explore.
One of the highlights of this trip was that Simplifi worked flawlessly using only my iPhone - yay!!

Yes it is. We really enjoy these adventures. Last year we spent 3 weeks riding from Vegas to Key West and back. You can’t enjoy the sights, the smells, the people, or the real America any better way than on a motorcycle. I really get a kick out of people’s reactions when they see my 64 year old 115 pound wife on her Harley.
