7 Tips To Stay Fresh on Summer Road Trips

There’s a very specific moment on every summer road trip where the excitement of the open road gives way to the reality of your own body. The AC is fighting a losing battle, your shirt is sticking to the seat, and someone in the car is pretending they don’t notice the smell that is definitely coming from them.

Seeing the Mountains from above with Sunkiss Ballooning

[Ad- gifted experience] Growing up in the Adirondacks, I have always seen balloons floating about, over the mountains. Dann and I have also taken our children to a few different balloon festivals in the United Kingdom, including the Bristol International Balloon Fiesta, but none of us have ever ridden in the basket of a hot air balloon that has left the ground.
