Mac’s block leave dates have been confirmed, so we’re actually planning our vacation. Our last proper vacation was two years ago, and we’re excited for another trip. And it’s one of the things on my summer bucket list.
1. Enjoy the sunshine, if it ever stops raining.
2. Try the new smores Oreos. We don’t have a fire pit or a backyard, so these will have to make do.
3. Visit Arches and Canyonlands National Parks. We originally planned to go this weekend, but Mac was home for 9 hours between the 12th and the 21st. He’s exhausted, so we are hanging out in town.
4. Go on vacation! Right now, we’re planning on some sort of trip to Alaska. I think we’re going to fly there and take the train into Denali.
5. Summit Pikes’ Peak. We might do this if our parents come visit this summer.
What are your big summer plans?

Your vacation for block leave sounds great!! We are spending a week in Houston and then a week at Universal Studios with my sister and her kids. ๐

What?! Not Hawaii? ): We had friends over tonight and we were talking about block leave. Idk how, but in 12 years in the Army, John has never heard of summer block leave.

Sounds perfect! I’ve always wanted to visit Alaska and those national parks you mentioned. We are headed to the beach and planning a few short road trips. I need to make my own bucket list ASAP. Thanks for the reminder ๐
