If you are like me, you consider August a sweet spot for adventure. I love wildflower-filled mountain trails. I visit breezy coastal towns. I look forward to lakefront cabins where I can finally finish that book. It’s the kind of month where I’m chasing sunshine during the day. And stargazing under clear skies at night.
