I'm joining Holly and Patty for their Monthly Musings link-up. This month we are discussing - June 2025 Summer Vacation Guide.
HERE ARE THE QUESTIONS:
1. We just got back from a wonderful European vacation to Rome, Italy and London, England. I hope to share a blog post about our European trip at some point. We may also go to the Jersey Shore this summer for a long weekend trip.

2. I like our laundry done before our vacation. When we return I usually start doing the laundry the next day. It may take a few days to catch up with it all.
3. My most memorable summer vacation was our recent trip to Italy. We took a day bus tour to Pompeii and Sorrento. We had a guided tour of Pompeii and Sorrento that I just loved. I would like to go back again to visit Italy.

4. We normally don't cook when we are on vacation. We like to eat out. When we went to the Jersey Shore last summer we stayed in an Airbnb for a week. We usually had breakfast at the beach house and I would make sandwiches, fruit, and drinks to eat on the beach. We went out to eat each night and one night we did pizza and chicken wings take out. We all ate it in the yard which was fun.
5. I used to be an overpacker for vacations but I seemed to have gotten better at it.
6. I love a beach vacation!

7. I like both a road trip and a fly vacation. We took a road trip last November to Newport, Rhode Island. Sometimes road trips are a lot easier than a fly vacation.
8. My favorite vacation activity is to relax by the pool like I did on my vacation in February to the Atlantis Paradise Island, Bahamas.

9. My best packing tips are to try and have your clothes color-coordinated. For my Europe trip, I had the colors: black, blue, and white. It makes it easy to mix and match clothes. I also use packing cubes on every trip. I try to take as little as possible with makeup and hair products.
10. I don't have any favorite road trip songs.
I hope everyone has a wonderful summer! Do you have any summer vacation plans?
THESE ARE THE TOPICS FOR EACH MONTH:
Oh wow! Your Europe trip sounds amazing! I've always wanted to visit Italy (I mean I wouldn't say no to a trip to England or Switzerland or most other European cities either but I really, really want to see so many areas of Italy). I try to make sure our laundry is all done before we leave too so I only have what we dirtied on vacation to deal with when we come home.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to hear more about your European trip!! I love Italy and want to see more...same with England! This was a fun read...beach vacations are fun too!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to hear more about your trip to Rome and London. What an incredible experience!
ReplyDeleteJulie, such a fabulous trip to Italy. We would love to travel there. We have been to England. I love the beach too, so relaxing. My husband often went to the Jersey Shore. We might go back next summer. Happy summertime.
ReplyDeleteOh I cannot wait to read all about your trip to Italy- one of my favorite destinations of all time! Beach all the way for me too :)
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to hearing more about your trip - looks amazing! We love to travel and going on a road trip to Civil War sites soon. I don't cook - love to stay in B&B's and Inns - great breakfasts then dinner out later. I like to have the hamper empty and all laundry done before we leave...then do trip laundry when we return. Not really beach people anymore...to many visits to the dermatologist taking care of issues from when we were young! If we do, we are umbrella people. LOVE cruising and doing one to Norway and England later this summer. Music - we plan our music according to where we are going to be traveling on a road trip. If we have music that fits the area, great. If not, we love our Sirius radio. Looking forward to hearing about more of your trip!
