When you think of summer vacation you may see many different images in your head. Golden beaches, crystal blue oceans, bright green palm leaves swaying in the wind... Maybe you think of roller coasters and dinner shows. It doesn't matter because whatever vacation we see in our minds is our own that makes us happy and carefree. That is what is so beautiful and healthy about summer vacations.

With being able to get away for a few days, a week, two weeks or more, it is the pure fact that for a while we do not have to worry about the troubles of today and the worries of tomorrow. For a little while we can just do as we please without following a strict day to day schedule. You don't need to worry about that one boss you could live your life without knowing. You don't need to be constantly worried about what time you need to be at work or whether or not you should make that doctors appointment. For once you can just breathe fresh air and be yourself.

It's even better when we are able to enjoy these vacations with family. Perhaps even your friends as well! Nothing is better than being in an entertaining setting with your family and friends. To see the happy smile overcome their features and the light in their eyes brighten is something that I promise you is worth looking at. Vacations are not only healthy for our own wellbeing, but for others as well. We, ourselves, know what we are going through on a daily basis, but when you are surrounded with your family and friends, helping them see a happy day it changes everything. You are glad you took this vacation not only for yourself, but for others as well.

Every family has that one vacation spot they go to every year or maybe every other year. That spot is considered your second home and you don't know what you would do without it. You sip away on your ice cold lime margarita while you are there or maybe you dig in to your favorite Mexican cuisine. It doesn't matter. The only thing that matters is your there because the perfect season has finally come around where you can relax and ignore every call and text that you receive through your cellphone.

Your mind has escaped to an entirely different universe all while being on the same planet as every other human in the world. That is what is so beautiful about summer vacations. We are able to put ourselves into what seems to be another dimension due to being able to book that vacation far away from where you live. It is beautiful and serene and is good for the soul. I hope everyone gets the chance to experience this tremendous feeling and is as addicted to it as an artist is to painting.
