Feels like three summers already

I’ve been out of school for two months so far, and yet it feels like more than one summer’s worth of excite­ment has taken place!

• There was a month of recu­per­a­tion in Providence: getting back on a decent sleep schedule and hanging out with the surprising number of people who stayed in town for the summer.
• Then there was the much-anticipated week in Cape Cod with the Scoobies (and now the second gener­a­tion, the Scrappies), who never fail to come together and feel like a zany and enter­taining family despite living so far apart from one another.
• Then I flew home and spent a few days in Dallas, where we were treated to a surprise wedding!
• Today we drive south to spend two days in San Antonio before heading up to Austin for three days. Plans are very free form at this point, but I hope that we’ll get to visit the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center as well as wander around Austin’s myriad cool neigh­bor­hoods. If you have any sugges­tions for food or frol­icking, send them my way!
