   Summer is my favorite time of year.  We here at Hub World have such a diverse group of people from all over the world and it got me thinking...what is your favorite summer time activity or tradition?

      Family vacation. We always have so much fun together on holiday and they grow up so fast. I cherish those times more and more every year, cause they're slip, slip, slipping away.
      
      
      
      But... they'll always be grandkids!

   Barbecues by the pool. Very Australian I know, but that is how family and friends spend a lot of the hot part of summer.

         We only have one swimming pool in the family, at my daughters house, but my uni student son is a lifesaver with our largest indoor water sports arena where Melbourne holds major swimming events, so we spend some time there too. Great high pressure spas to massage a tired back... little fountains in shallow water for the ankle biters, a wave pool several warm pools for the disabled, plus a few very big swimming pools and a water slide...... it's all good.

       sometime in the next year or so - i will ship my bike and travel in some other country/continent - mind you there is still a 'little' bit more for me to see in NA - not much though - have seen quite a bit of it by bike.   I want to do it on my own bike when I travel outside of NA.

          That's exactly what I do.  I must say if it's hot enough I enjoy playing as well, but I usually meet friends at the big downtown fountain for some "mom time".  Great topic, by the way.
