Birthday Road Trip

The Itty-bitty Birthday Road Trip of 2017

If you go to Europe in June you probably shouldn’t plan your typical birthday road trip.

That is probably written in some life manual somewhere I’m sure. It makes sense especially since my birthday landed just over a month after my return to the states. Truth be told, the decision to forego my typical week long road trip revolved around work and the fact I didn’t think I’d have enough time to take another week off in August after taking just over two weeks in June.

I have a rather big birthday coming up in the beginning of August.  Per tradition, I take a road trip for the week (if I’m not home for my birthday it can’t find me so technically I’m still 29).

This is my 11th 29th I’m celebrating people.  Where should I go?  Where would you go if you were me?  Assuming, of course, there is no budget and nothing is off limits.  Let’s just be whimsical, shall we?
