Summertime Parties and Vacations

Summertime Parties and Vacations

From Memorial Day until Labor Day, we spend time with family and friends outdoors. We go to graduations, weddings, pool parties and barbecues. Toss in a steak fry or two, add in a few long weekends and, boom, you soon realize summer will be over before you know it.

While you’re attending your events, though, you may want to remember to have a few things on hand. Be sure to have sunscreen, water, sunglasses, a sun hat, bug spray and always have a designated driver if you’re having a drink or two. These suggestions are a few to keep your summertime fun, fun. Make good, smart choices during these summer months.

Certainly, summer vacations are normally fun times for families. I always prayed the trips didn’t turn into the next movie hit like National Lampoon’s Summer Vacation – yet with my last name instead of Griswold! We all have had one vacation like that, or at least know someone’s vacation that turned into a comparable situation. Those movies are funny, but it would be a nightmare if yours truly turned out that way. So, once again, be smart and make good choices when vacationing this summer and always have a backup.

So, here’s to summertime, and our Red White and Blue!! Thank a veteran, because freedom comes with a price, and some paid the price for our freedom with their own lives. Thank you to all veterans!

Now, go out, enjoy your summer months, have a hot dog, eat an ear of corn and have a slice of apple pie because summer goes too fast not to enjoy the good stuff. The next thing you know it will be football season! (Which I love too.)
