7 straight years of post secondary will defeat you. None of my friends that went straight into grad school from undergrad ever considered doing a PhD. At the end they essentially said, I'm done with school. Never again.
You need a break. But make sure you keep in touch with your prof, and try to read a few papers related to your potential thesis topics in that summer. Just to get your mind crackin' away.
Yay, because once you start you will NOT have any significant time off.

DeleteYay! And go travel! Best decision I ever made.
