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.
