The CK Weekly – Between Summer Adventures and Fall Daydreams
Happy Tuesday!
It’s been a little while since I’ve written one of these! Since we’ve switched to a weekly rotation, I only get a turn every few weeks now, so I have a little more catching up to do than usual.
One of the highlights of our summer was a big family road trip up to Kentucky to visit the Ark Encounter. I had heard a lot about it over the years, but seeing the size of the Ark in person is pretty incredible. There’s really no way to appreciate just how massive the structure is until you’re standing next to it. We spent quite a bit of time walking through the exhibits inside, and the kids especially enjoyed the little zoo they have there. It was definitely worth the trip!
While we were up that way, we also took a short trip over to Cincinnati and visited the Cincinnati Zoo. We had a great time there too, and I particularly enjoyed seeing the manatees. There’s something about watching those giant animals slowly float around that is oddly relaxing.
The only downside to the trip was the heat. It was HOT! I guess I had it in my head that traveling north would give us a little relief from the Georgia summer heat, but Kentucky and Ohio apparently didn’t get that memo. Now that we’re back home, it’s still hot here too, so I’m definitely ready for fall!
Summer vacation has also officially come to an end for the kids and they’re back in school. They were both a little nervous during that first week, which I think is pretty normal with new teachers, classrooms, and routines. Thankfully, they’ve settled in now and seem to be getting back into the swing of things.
As for me, I’m looking forward to the Pokémon World Championships coming up at the end of the month in San Diego. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to attend in person, but I’m looking forward to catching the livestream and watching some of the best players in the world compete. Maybe one of these years I’ll actually make it out there!
It feels like we’re in that strange part of the year where summer vacation is over, school is back, and mentally I’m ready for fall, but the weather clearly has other plans.
I hope you have a great day and a wonderful week!
