If you’re a fan of travel of any stripe, you’re going to love the June/July issue. We uncover twenty dreamy escapes perfect for a summer weekend, from your own floating bungalow off Key Largo to a vintage Smoky Mountains lodge to some of the South’s most charming small towns. You can also ride along with the great Susan Orlean as she documents the enduring magic of the Chincoteague Pony Swim. There’s a frosty bourbon-and-beer cocktail you’ll crave on a hot summer day, and a recipe that makes the most of fresh Gulf shrimp. And if you haven’t heard what Brooklyn Decker is up to (and wearing) in Charlotte, you’ll want to read our interview with the actor and designer. And speaking of fly fishing, Charles Gaines heads to Scotland in search of brown trout, with a side of castle-hopping.

When I got home, one of the first things I did after waking up in my own bed was to slip out to the garden before the rest of the house stirred. In just the few days I was away, my tomato plants had gotten shoulders (thanks to a much-needed rain), and some stems were bearing tiny green fruits. Harbingers of summer in the South. Here’s to all that the season brings, whether you’re at home or on vacation. But wherever you are, I hope you’ll enjoy this issue.
