Hey friend, You ever feel like summer starts speeding up the minute school lets out? One minute you're dreaming of road trips and bonding time with your teen... The next, it’s almost July and you're frantically Googling “last-minute family vacations that don’t suck.” I’ve been there. And that’s exactly why I created this Visitors Bureau planning guide + printable. Instead of hopping from one travel site to another, just head to your destination’s Visitors Bureau first. I put together a simple how-to plus a printable to help you get the most out of it. I'm also working through a list of regional and city visitors' bureau sites on my USA Road Tripping site. So you can skip the stress and get to the fun part—like watching your teen actually smile during a museum visit (it’s possible). 👉 Grab the guide + printable here Let’s make the most of what’s left of summer, yeah? Travel on! Tonya

Hey there, So, Taylor Swift said yes, and suddenly Kansas City is the center of the universe. While Swifties everywhere are dreaming of wedding dresses and Super Bowl rings, I’m over here thinking… it’s about time Kansas City got some love. Truth? It was one of my most surprising favorite cities. We stayed right downtown at an IHG hotel, explored the Power & Light District (hello, food and live music!), and spent a peaceful afternoon at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art. That sculpture garden?...
Hey Reader, If your phone is bursting with photos from summer trips, but they’re still stuck in your camera roll, you’re not alone. I finally did something about ours, and I’m obsessed with how it turned out. I printed a bunch of our family photos with Mixtiles and created a gallery wall right next to our National Park pin map. Here’s a peek of my wall. It’s the perfect combo of where we’ve been and who we were with. That map was a Christmas gift, and now it finally feels complete with our...
