Summer is always a whirlwind of beach days, outdoor time, travel and more packed into the long, sunny days. There are a couple of traditions I look forward to this time of year, starting with taking my daughter to a local farm to pick blueberries. Another quintessential summer experience: renting a campervan and hitting the road for an outdoor family adventure! I have all the tips you need to plan a road trip of your own. Plus, my top 10 weekend events are packed with summer’s finest, from a seafood fest to the world’s largest bounce house.
