Vacation Time
I have thoroughly enjoyed my summer vacation thus far. I interspersed some projects with short day-trips to inexpensive spots, had some company, and enjoyed days of just doing nothing.
I meant to write more, but I've been too lazy.
Almost daily rains, combined with summer's extreme heat, make activities confined to mornings, evenings, or inside.
What's a Floridian to do? Head north
Monday, we're off to Dahlonega, Georgia, for my last week of vacation. I want to do some gold panning, and the mines stay a constant 60 degrees. Heavenly.

Ah....yes....the mines will be heavenly.
Enjoy!
sounds wonderful! Enjoy yourself and take lots of pictures!
You will love gold panning. It's one of the most fun things I've done though it may have not been if my husband hadn't done all the digging while I did the panning. We did it in creeks around where we live. Never did we find a lot but it's great for cooling the feet and if you are sitting on a big rock in the middle it cools your backside as well. I loved it.
Have a super week,
And then there are the NC mountains!
These are lovely shots. I am glad someone's having a marvy summer... mine's a lot like the weather: hot and evaporating before my eyes! Hubby went gold panning with a friend this summer... hope your strike is bigger than his, LOL! Enjoy the cool temps and waters. 
When I lived in Maryland, all I wanted to do was head South, to Florida.
I remember though, the severe weather that would come almost unannounced.
A very tropical climate. The photos are beautiful.
Enjoyed the pics. Have a great time in Dahlonega. We have been there several times,
but not recently. Be sure to eat at the Smith House, if it is still there.
Kym and I may go to (fairly) nearby Unicoi State Park in September, after schools
start. Thanks for the kind words on the sijo.
I'd love a Florida vacation about now. I wouldn't mind the heat if I was on the beach. I could always plop myself down in the breakers and let the sand get in my drawers. I am just now seeing the comment left at my site. Please come back again sometimes.

Stopped by to pay a long overdue visit. Your butterfly image is so nice and clear. Lovely shot. The beach, my hubby would like to be lying there for a while.
Have a great time on your trip and take lots of those car images. Have fun. Becca
What is important is not to see many things but to see them intensely .
Love
