The Summer Solstice

Sandals, shorts and an optional T-shirt: my summer wardrobe.

On the longest day of the year and the first day of summer I am as giddy as a 7 year old boy on Christmas Eve. Throw in the fact that this year it comes on a Friday, right before a “lake” weekend, and you have a big kid that is going to accomplish very little at work! If you haven’t noticed yet, today marks the beginning of my favorite season. A season where you turn the heated seats off and keep your swimsuit on. A season that offers long evenings which often extend into the night and bathtub-warm water that invites you in, over and over again. Here’s to cold beer, the warmth of the sun, the sweet smell of coconut oils and tanned bodies! Summer is upon us.

I’m extremely excited about this summer. I have more reasons than ever to welcome in the season with open arms and a smile. I'm off to work on my tan!
