Cruising Through July: Travel Fun & Summer Heat

July has been a whirlwind of celebration, sunshine, and fun. I kicked off the month with Fourth of July 4 festivities, enjoying time with friends and family and soaking up all the summer vibes. This month has also been packed with birthday celebrations and a much-needed vacation that truly recharged my spirit.

One of the highlights of my summer was a 7-day cruise to Mexico, where I spent quality time with friends and family. The experience was amazing—relaxing by the water, enjoying endless laughs, eating delicious meals, and taking in breathtaking views. After the cruise, I extended my travels to Los Angeles and Long Beach, where I explored museums, strolled through malls, indulged in the most beautiful pastries, and treated myself to a little shopping.

Back home, life has been just as full. Much of my time has been dedicated to volunteering for my Master Gardener internship, and I’m thrilled to share that I officially submitted my hours. I’m now just waiting for final approval to attend graduation. Volunteering has been such a rewarding experience, even if it meant putting my personal garden on pause this summer. For those wondering why there haven’t been any garden updates lately—life got busy with hour requirements and summer heat, so I shifted my focus. I may pick gardening back up in the fall season, once things calm down a bit.

And speaking of summer, let’s not forget this July heat—humid, sweltering, and relentless! Despite the scorching days, this month has been nothing short of wonderful. July has been a reminder to embrace life as it comes.

Here’s to more adventures, more growth, and hopefully… cooler days ahead!
