Post #556: Too Many Vacation Choices…But I Think I Settled on One!
I’m way too indecisive. I’ve been thinking for quite a few months about where I want to vacation this year. I know I’m going home next month, but that’s not a vacation – that’s just a visitation. Prior to joining the military, I went on at least one vacation a year. New York City, Pensacola, Baltimore, Boston – you name it on the East Coast and I was there. It’s strange how I’ve failed to go anywhere but home after joining, considering I have two extra weeks a year to go and do stuff…like travel.
I think I might have found the perfect getaway for me this year. It would be June 22-27, in the Napa Valley. It’s perfect! There’s a Nascar race being held that weekend, and there are so many different things to go and do. It’s wine country, so there will be a lot of festivals and tastings to attend. Lake Berryessa is nearby, and I would most likely set aside an entire day to explore the lake, bring a picnic lunch, and do some hiking a trail-walking. A kayaking adventure is definitely not out of the question.
San Francisco is a short drive South, and I think it would be amazing to take a guided bus or walking tour around the city for a day. So much history, and again, festivals, art museums, historic neighborhoods, and the Golden Gate Bridge.
Vallejo, Santa Rosa, Napa, and Sonoma are all in the general area, and the coast is a short drive as well.
I know I’ve been mentioning that I want to visit Los Angeles for the longest time now, and I still do, but this sounds like an opportunity I just can’t pass up. Anytime I have a chance to visit history versus glam, history will always win me over.
