Unicorns, Clark W. Griswold, and Travelling in a Pandemic

Summer! As seasons go in the ol’ NWO, summertime is our unicorn… a mythical beast that always seems like it’s just around the corner but never quite within reach. And when we finally get a glimpse, it feels like it’s gone before we really get a chance to enjoy it.

So what we do when it’s here? Squeeze every last drop of enjoyment we can out of the warm weather, often by travelling to our favourite vacation spot, camp (or cottage if you’re one of those, don’t get me started...) and extending that summer-loving as long as we possibly can.
