Who doesn't love summer, a time when you can visit somewhere you've never been, or even go to a place you've been over and over, and spend quality time with your family, partner or good friends. Whether it be for a weekend getaway, a week, or two weeks, it's important to make every moment count so you can create everlasting memories. And we have an exciting giveaway* to help you get there in style!

We know you're busy, so we turned to 4 savvy bloggers for suggestions on where to vacation this summer. Their suggestions ranged from traveling local to Sanibel, FL or Beaufort, SC to jetsetting off to Mexico or simply taking a staycation in your hometown. Here's what they had to say.

 

 

Paula Schmitt, This Girl Travels
"I love summer. The kids are out of school, the days are long and lazy, the sun is shining and the air is warmer begging for family travel. One of my favorite travel destinations by far is to the beautiful state of Florida, the Sunshine State. From sandy white beaches to vibrant coral reefs, the ocean is always calling. Families can enjoy anything and everything from shell collecting in Sanibel to meeting astronauts at the Kennedy Space Center. And let's not forget theme parks. Florida has some of the biggest and best, including Disney."

Samantha FeussHave Sippy Will Travel
"If you are looking for a quiet spot to spend time as a family, but with plenty to see & do, take a gander at Beaufort, South Carolina.  This sleepy town is so picturesque that Hollywood has used it as the backdrop for such films as “The Prince Of Tides” and “Forest Gump”, and while there are many lovely cafes, bakeries, chocolateries, coffee shops, and restaurants in the district, you won’t find a Starbucks or a McDonalds in town."

Zippy SandlerChampagne Living
"I love looking for off-season bargains when traveling. There's nothing like getting luxury accommodations for a fraction of the cost, so my recommendation would be to visit a wonderful all-inclusive resort in Playa del Carmen or Cancun. My favorite is the 5-diamond Grand Velas Riviera Maya. Families can stay in the Ambassador Class with access to the ocean, pools, a kids and teens club, and luxury that you can't find anyplace else. With all of the food, activities,and entertainment included (even alcohol for the adults) it's an easy vacation that allows alone time for mom and dad while the kids play with new friends under watchful eyes."

Melissa Chapman,The Staten Island Family
"I am a TOTAL staycation kind of girl. I love the idea of playing tourist in my backyard - which just so happens to be the greatest city in the world- NYC. And while we live in NYC, we are on Staten Island, which requires a ferry ride or a trip over the bridge to get to the bright lights and big city of Manhattan. So I am always looking for great NYC hotels that will allow us to drive in, park our car and stay overnight, so that we can take in all the sights and sounds without for a solid 24 hours with no distractions. The bonus is when I can bring our dogs along- so I am all about pet friendly accommodations."

And now for the prize!*

There are so many reasons as to why I adore summer. Baseball games (both my kids' and the local minor league team's), the county fair, the infamous Iowa State Fair, running outside while the sun is rising, family vacations, sun tea, S'Mores, and spending time in the garden. My oldest leaves for college this fall, so we are going to make the most of every free minute this summer!

I love relaxing outside, I like to work in my flower and vegetable gardens and I like to go to the pool. I also love going on vacation, no plans yet, but hopeful.

I love spending time with the kids at the beach or anywhere near the water. They are just like fish. Even the 2 year old just wants to go swimming. I can't wait for some summer fun!!

I love sitting in the backyard under the umbrella reading a good mystery and if it gets too hot I walk in my little pool, cool down and do it again :)

My favorite thing to do in the Summer is to visit the redwood forest and just enjoy everything nature has to offer.

Our family vacation is my favorite thing to do in the summer. With our busy schedules we rarely get any time to relax and just hang out together. To us...family time is everything.

I love to stay outside until dark, feel my toes in the sand, and swim with my kiddos! It's also wonderful to enjoy a cup of coffee on my porch in the wee hours of the morning...

My favorite thing to do it actually work my job. I love the kids I work with and have such a wonderful time. I will not lie and say running a swim team isn't stressful, but it is such a great time. I love watching the kids progress and getting involved in all sorts of fun pool events. Next summer will be my last summer coaching and I'm already sad, but that just means I've got to love it even more this summer and next!

I love summer. I love going to farmers markets, spending time with the family at bbqs and the pool and going to fests and flea markets. I love being able to wear dresses and be outside enjoying the weather as much as possible!! :)
