I'm still waiting for that invigorating feeling I've heard about, the one you get after a sound night's sleep out in the wilderness. The one you get while inhaling the aroma from a steaming cup of coffee, listening to the birds chirp in the wee hours of a dew-soaked morning. Ahhhh.

I'd invite the neighbors for a cookout and we'd watch the kids catch fireflies and play Ghost in the Graveyard one last time.

Two weeks into summer vacation it has become painfully clear that we have to get the heck outta town for at least a few days.We must quickly escape from the herding groups of teens that gather nightly, cell phones in hand, to eat large quantities of food and plan their next adventure. Sometimes they swiftly enter and exit with nary a word.
