"The Best Summer Ever" Requires a Little Planning

The countdown is on, and one of the things I like to do in preparation for summer vacation is to make a list of activities, outings, and projects we'd like to get to. For example, we'd like to explore some local hiking trails, drive out to the beach for a few day trips, and build a campfire pit in the backyard.

How about you? What are some of the things you'd like to do this summer? Whether your kids are with you full time, once a week, or plan to come out for a long summer visit, sit down together (in person or on the phone), and start planning out some of the things you'd like to do. Gathering ideas is the first step in making these fun summer events happen.

I’m taking my girls to Washington, Mt. Vernon, Monticello and Williamsburg. It will be fun and educational. We really can not wait.

Planning is essential for everything, I think. If you want to have a good time, without any unexpected events! As for me I’m always plan my vacation in advance-no matter wheather I’m going to have a long trip or just a weekend.
