End of Summer

I've always liked the idea of vacationing for the month of August, not for a week before the kids go back to school or a weekend at the lake but taking weeks off to go to the coast or to travel through Europe and recharge. There is the dream and then there is reality. 

So to recharge I'm heading to my family's home in the Colorado mountains this weekend (picture was taken on the deck at the mountain house). We don't have much planned, wandering the small towns at the base of the ski hills, tasting local craft beers, shopping while Paul mountain bikes down the trails, cooking, playing Mexican Train and watching the sunset over the mountains. 

Here's hoping your long weekend is equally as relaxing.
