As the days lengthen and temperatures rise, it’s the perfect time to start planning your summer travels. From sandy beaches to bustling cities, the options are endless for popular destinations.
I can remember being so excited for summer and the one trip per year my family took. One year was Daytona Beach and as a teenager, I didn’t use sunscreen. I ended up in the ER with sun poisoning. That was the first time I ever heard of aloe vera gel, but not my last. And, sunscreen…well, that didn’t become a standard practice until years later.
Gatlinburg was the other destination we went to sometimes. I remember watching the Native American dancers and taking pics, watching my dad swim for the first time in the motel pool, and eating taffy. Memories I am reminded of often and wouldn’t trade for anything- even the sunburn!
