It’s AUGUST!
In my family that means… it’s time for a vacation to Cape Cod! We always go away for a week in August! It’s our vacation time together after swim team is over, after tennis lessons are over and after swimming lessons for Henry are over! We’ll be off in 2 weeks!
ROAD TRIP TIME!!
I’m always on the lookout for some great Summer Tips and Summer Picks before we head off on summer vacations! I’m totally excited to share the top summer electronic picks and vacation tips from Soleil Moon Frye (remember Punky Brewster?) to help you and the family enjoy the last moments of summer! You can grab all these goodies at Target!
Top Vacation Tips:
1) Entertain and educate the kids:
The LeapFrog Tag Junior Scout Hardware reading system, $24.99, is a travel- sized book pal full of fun educational activities that keeps my daughters entertained when we have down time over vacation.
2) Discover a new favorite destination:
The iPad is a great tool to have handy for finding restaurants, shops and cool locales while we’re checking out new places; it’s essentially a high speed, super- portable guidebook for me. When my girls grab hold of the iPad, they go straight to the Mini Genius app; it’s great for reading while on the go.
3) Savor summer memories:
Making summer memories is just as important as capturing them. With the GoPro HS Hero2 Outdoor Edition Digital Camcorder, $299.99, we have a blast making home movies everywhere we go. I love that it’s waterproof and easy to use; I can just throw it in my bag for trips to the beach, playground or pool.
Top StayCation Tips:
1) Keep kids reading:
With the Nook Color, $149.99, we can spend time reading anywhere! I try to avoid the “summer slide” by making sure my girls spend time reading over the summer.
2) Invite friends over for game night:
Amazing Spiderman for Wii, $49.99, is a blast for a superhero-themed game night, especially for the boys.
3) Plan for a rainy day:
The Sony Streaming Player, $37.69, makes it easy for my family to enjoy the best selection of online movies, TV and music wirelessly. I really look to my favorite tech gadgets to keep us entertained when rainy days roll around.
