The True Story Of Mary-Kate Olsen

Oh, how I miss summer vacations:
In light of the fact that I have 3 months of vacation coming up in 3 days, what are the Top 5 things you would do if you still had a summer vacation?

Sorry to get your hopes up, there will be no mention of Mary-Kate or Ashley Olsen. I also won't be discussing if Britney Spears is pregnant or not. Anyways. It's taken me so long to finish this one off that Deirdre is now closing in on one full month of vacation time. I actually had this all written up the other night at work and then the internet crapped out when I hit "Publish Post" and it was gone forever. I guess that's why I get for blogging on the job.

As for the question, I love it and God willing will get to take care of each one of these in the near future. Once D wins the lottery, she is going to give me the money for each of these trips. For the sake of time -- and since I can't remember everything about the final two -- this list has been cut to 3. Good times.

1. Baseball Pilgrimage
- I couldn't come up with a deserving name for this one, until I stumbled across this guy's site. I think I can make it to a couple games at every Major League stadium over the course of three months. It'll be great to spend the summer with the actual boys of summer. I could take it a step farther and follow the Mets around for the summer, but that might be a bit too much, even for me. The bill for this would add up real quick, but I know it'd be worth every penny.

2. One Summer, One Tour
- Virtually every year, there are tons of people that follow Dave Matthews Band and/or Phish around the country. I never understood it, but I think it would make for an interesting trip. Well, I wouldn't be following either of those two bands around, so it wouldn't be that kind of trip. The most consecutive shows I ever attended was three and that was just up to Maine and then back to CT, hitting Providence in between. I remember back when Train used to be good, they had a super fan that went to all of their shows around the country. If my memory serves I think she missed something along the lines of three shows over a two year stretch. That's obviously the extreme, but the same basic idea.

3. Beach Bum
- It would be easy enough to just find a beach around here and do nothing every day, but that would get boring real quick. The beaches I'm talking about are in the Pacific Ocean and would make for a much more interesting trip than the Jersey Shore (as much as I love it). However, if D can only afford to send me to a Florida beach, then I'll just have to accept that and move on.

Donations for any of the above trips are welcomed.
