Summertime Inspiration

Sometimes I start to feel a little melancholy this time of year, as I hear others make their summer plans for long weekends, barbecues, road trips, and flea markets.  Then I remember that my summers are pretty awesome, too.  Here are some of the things that I'm looking forward to:

living out of a suitcase (something that I actually enjoy, at least for a few weeks)

being close to history

house wine

reading on the beach

gelato (!!)

and the healthy Italian food, too

vintage sundresses

polaroids (right now I'm planning on bringing four packs of film, but that number might grow)

unbelievably blue water in Greece

introducing my parents to the eternal city (their first trip to Europe - so exciting!)

and in my dreams, one of these (I think I'm going to have to get a car instead - almost certainly with a manual transmission, which should make for an interesting adventure)

What are you excited about this summer?
