I love this photo. I’d probably even enjoy being there, but it’s not my ideal vacation spot because, uh, too many people. After years of being surrounded by people—in the Army, in corporate life—I love my quiet rural hobby farm with just my loved ones around me. That doesn’t mean I won’t enjoy a nice tropical vacation somewhere, sometime, but I’ll always sigh with relief when I pull into the gate at my place. I’m thinking about Hawaii next year… But we’ll see.

For a chance to win a $5 Amazon gift card, solve the puzzle then tell me about your dream summer vacation!

No, I haven’t given up on the Saturday jigsaw puzzles—I enjoy those as much as you do! I just thought I’d try some different games. And I can relate the games to books. How fun is that? The site I’m using to construct this game has different sorts of games, including crossword puzzles. I’ll have to try that next! (And yes, I’m a word nerd!)

It’s super easy to play. Just click on the first and last letters of the word you find!

For a chance to win a $5 Amazon gift card, play the word search and let me know what you think of the game! Too many words? Not enough? Will you play again?
