SUMMER TRAVEL
It’s no secret that summer is not my favorite season but my kids LIVE for summertime. And it’s honestly the best time for road trips. There’s just something about being in a cool breezy car when it’s close to 100° outside. I do love that we have flexible months, no strict schedules, and an insane amount of free time to relax and enjoy our family time.
For us Summertime can be so exciting between planning family road trips which we do a lot of, spending time at the lake with our friends who are a few hours away or simply just having pool time in our new neighborhood.
