Don’t tell my family, I don’t want to spoil the surprise - but I think for my birthday this year I want to save up as much as I can and take them (my adult, extended family) on a trip somewhere. I hope I can pick somewhere good and make it work. I think it would be a nice surprise. Maybe Sedona, Asheville, or New Orleans.

Fun! I'd steer clear of Nola/Gulfcoast states in August though.

@deweyritten why, just the weather? I used to live there…

@hacks4pancakes

August is getting really into hurricane season. Just something to consider if the whole country is your oyster for this <3

@deweyritten ah, it wouldn’t be in August but I see your point on hurricane season
@hacks4pancakes did u serve in Nola?
@hacks4pancakes thank you for your service. fun place to be, my parents were stationed nearby in Mobile, USCG
