Hi Friends! I am here with Patty for our monthly linkup where we talk about different topics and ask you all for your thoughts.
This month we are talking "Summer Vacation Guide"...we can't wait to read all about your tips, tricks and traditions...so let's go!
Here are the questions we are answering...
1. Share your summer trips for 2025
It is what I call a "simple summer" here...no big trips but little overnights and glimpses of JOY. Diana and I had a quick overnight in NYC when we went to see Smash. The four of us will be spending two nights over the 4th of July at the McLain's lake house- one of our favorite traditions! Lastly, Diana and I will be staying with Cass and Alexis back up at the lake when we go to see Shania Twain. Who knows what else may come up! That's it for now...looking forward to it all :)
2. How do you manage the post-vacation laundry?
I don't- ha! Robby B is our Laundry Master. We immediately make piles and get clothing in the laundry upon our return. I like things done quickly and put away. Clutter stresses me out
3. Most memorable summer vacation?
Growing up, it was our family road trips...some of my favorite memories...we did Niagara Falls, Pennsylvania Dutch Country, Maryland and Virginia to name a few. My mom would pack a huge cooler and half of the fun was eating cereal out of the little boxes in our hotel rooms then jumping in the pool of course! :)
As an adult, I would have to say the same...we took the girls on a road trip to Niagara Falls (not summer vacation but April vacation) and I remember I had a pain in my heart because it truly felt like the next generation and the torch being passed...they are such great travelers and it was another great trip!
4. Do you cook or eat out on vacation?
We pretty much eat out for dinners...it is a toss up with breakfasts and lunches...depends on the destination. With kids, I prefer all-inclusive resorts because it is so much easier and cost-effective. When we go to the lake, we go out one night but every other meal is brought by all of us.
5. Are you an Overpacker? Underpacker? Or Just Right Packer?
Patty wrote this question and I laughed hard. Anyone who knows me knows that I say, "I need options!" So...you guessed it...guilty of overpacking here ;)
6. Beach, lake or mountains?
BEACH ALL THE WAY...but don't get me wrong...love the lake and mountains too just would choose the BEACH FIRST every darn time
7. Road trip or fly?
It really depends. I would probably say road trip. I have flown more often in the last few years...have never been crazy about it but have conquered my big fear and just have the desire to see the world now.
8. Favorite vacation activities?
Anything that includes a boat ride- love being out on the water!
9. Best packing tips?
Packing cubes...nuff said
10. Favorite Road Trip Songs?
Shuffling the songs on my phone...or Taylor Swift...or Shania Twain or our famous playlists :)
So how do YOU summer vacation?
