Learn, eat, listen to Tunes

May sure flew by, and now June (my favorite month) is upon us. I tend to get excited when major holidays are right around the corner -- my birthday is in a few weeks, and I'm ready to celebrate.

As a child, I always noticed fireworks vendors setting up their tents during my birthday week. So when I see those tents now, I still know gifts for me -- and pyrotechnicss -- are on the way.

To my knowledge, there aren't any firework displays this weekend, but there is an overwhelming assortment of things to do with the family and friends. So grab some sunscreen and hit the road -- literally and figuratively.

Don't be blue
