summer vaykay

whenever i see someone abbreviate vacation
as "vaca"
my brain IMMEDIATELY says...
oh, spanish cow.
i know that's not what they mean,
but it cracks me up each.and.every.time.

so i've decided to go with vaykay,
just in case you thought that maybe
i went cow tipping
or thought dairy farms were high on my list of vacation getaways.

over the past 10 days my car
gained about 1200 miles.
think my bum is still numb from sitting/driving for that long.

started out the trip with the longest stretch of our journey...
philly to Jackson, NH.
so far north that the highway signs have miles and kilometers,
silly french canadians.
but i love that place,
haven't been there in the summer in nearly 10 years,
missed the rivers and the hiking
so much!
it was the best place to just unplug and relax.
and sweat.
the house does not have AC
and there was no breeze whatsoever!

the first day we went hiking on the Carter Notch trail.
kara & i were on a mission to go swimming,
even though the water was beyond cold.
i mean immediate brain freeze as soon as your pinky toe
hit the surface of the water cold.
roll around in the snow and then
jump in a tub of ice cold.
take too long to find something in the
walk-in freezer cold.
it still hurts thinking about it,
but it was worth it...
because the pictures are hilarious.
there was no other option
than screaming as you stood up!!
