Summer 2012 is going to be the best one yet! After reading an article on National Geographic, I was given some great ideas of awesome places to visit while on summer break! Iceland is one of the top recommended places because of its majesticness. If you are really into the past, there are many tours that you can take. The Pearl, Hallgrímskirkja church, the harbor and the famous 101 Reykjavik neighborhood are all highly recommended travel sites. A unique proximity to nature, with Salmon River Elliðaá running through it, a thermal beach at Nauthólsvík, green valleys and outdoor swimming pools, makes the city of Reykjavik like no other in the world. If you are more of an outdoor person, the Snæfellsnes peninsula is a perfect place to visit. The peninsula has white and black beaches, amazing mountains, bird cliffs, volcanic craters, filled trout lakes and salmon rivers in the lush valleys.
If you are interest in touring any of these places mentioned, Iceland Tours would be more than happy to accommodate you. For more information, go check out their website at: http://www.icelandtours.is/en/activity/1039/blue-lagoon-no-entry.aspx!

Some people don't like staying home all summer, so they go to summer camps with other kids around their age! In Massachusetts alone, there are over 100 summer camps. From the age of 6 to 11, I went to Brigss Field Half Day Camp, an activity put on by the Plymouth Recreation Department. Briggs Field camp is located in Plymouth, MA, and is only 3 hours a day for 6 weeks. Campers have the choice to either participate in two of the activities: tennis, baseball, basketball or arts and crafts for an hour each. At the end of their 2 activities, there is a snack and a big game. Anyone can play in the big game, and if they don't want to, they can decide to do arts and crafts. Pony Express, dodgeball, and kickball are some of the favorite big games. For the past couple years, Briggs Field has been at Briggs Field, but now they are moving the 1/2 day program to Hedges Pond, which is still in Plymouth. For all my followers:
Summer is getting closer day by day, but that doesn't mean there can be slacking off in any school subjects! As the school year starts to come to an end, paying attention and studying starts to become more important to study for the final exams. As much as we don't want to we have to realize that summer will be here soon enough.
