Setting Personal Goals for June

Wow. Summer came much faster than we expected. As much as we’re trying to stay positive, we’re dreading our very first Vegas summer. I am trying to keep myself distracted by setting personal goals for June that are motivating (and mostly indoors).  I am excited that we will be taking lots of smaller trips throughout the summer to escape the heat though. This week we are heading to LA, SF, Napa Valley, and Big Sur… and the week after that a national park (we haven’t decided which one yet!). Which is your favorite?

Last month’s highlights on instagram:
