Last year for my birthday I took a day trip to Lake Erie. The main reason that we ended up going there was because there are a couple of dog friendly beaches which means that Roxy could spend the day with me and that's always something that I want to be possible. We went, had a great time, and ever since I've been thinking about going back.

Darrin and I pick a few goals for each season throughout the year that we want to do together. Going to Erie was one of them for this past summer.

Once the end of August gets here I am in panic mode and try to get everything done that I want to do before the snow flies again. I mean, we still have a while for that (hopefully) but there are things that I want to do when it's warmer than 50 degrees out and going to the lake is one of those things.
