So here we are, in the middle of March, and we feel like school is just dragging on and on. It’s like our biological clocks are telling us, “Something’s missing…shouldn’t we be getting a week break from this right about now?” But no, thanks to BYU and it’s no-spring-break calendar, so it looks like we’re trudging through the school year without another break till finals are over. Yuck!
Since we’d like a break, but don’t get one, we daydreamed a little bit about vacations and breaks and thought we’d share!
Dream Vacation
Paige: Anywhere with great scenery, lots of open space, not-too-many crowds, close family, games, and food (good food is a must).
Josh: Going to a place where we have no deadlines to meet, places to be, or obligations to keep, but where there are tons of venues and things to see whenever we want. Definitely family close by to chill with. And food. Definitely good food. And maybe a roller coaster.
Ideal Way to Spend a Day Off
Paige: Sleeping in a little, packing up a lunch and snacks, and driving somewhere new—if the weather’s good, to go hiking or spend some time in the mountains. Then, after a nice day, coming home in the late afternoon to relax, cook a good meal, and watch a good movie.
Josh: Sleeping in for sure! But not too late, because if I had a whole day that I could spend doing whatever, then after waking up, a big breakfast of waffles and ice cream, eggs, bacon, and orange juice would be in order. Afterwards, we’d mozy around the house some more, until we got around to going out somewhere in nature. The day would be spent outside or seeing something until the late afternoon, as the sun is starting to set, at which point we’d head home and spend a nice evening as a family playing games, maybe watch a movie, just relaxing. And because it’s a day off, we’d definitely have to stay up late, just enjoying it as long as we could!
A Place We’ve Never Been to We’d Like to Visit
Paige: Southern France (Josh describes it so wonderfully! And since he served his mission there, there might be a good chance my wish will one day come true!)
Josh: I’ve always thought it would be great to visit China. It is a country that seems so full of varied landscapes, peoples, and cultures that I would love to see it. We would definitely have to hook up with a native friend though to give us a guided tour.
Something New and Adventurous We’d Like to Try
Paige: Riding in a hot air balloon! We went up in one for, like, eighteen seconds once, but that didn’t count because it was anchored to the ground.
Josh: Sky diving! While Paige would like to ride up into the air, I’d like to jump out into it. Hey, we can do both at the same time!
