I don’t know about you, but I am over this bipolar weather. I actually started planning a spring beach trip while writing this.

Until then, I’ll be daydreaming of sandy toes, warm sunshine + springtime hikes. Hope you do the same.

Alright, now it’s time to call up the fam, group chat the crew + pick a weekend. Can you say adult spring break?
