This Is What We Look Like When We Go: Part 2 This Is What We Look Like

    • Kids & Family

As the band Cinderella so famously sang in 1988, “you don’t know what you got til it’s gone.” 
 
When we were all forced to shelter-in-place and the world shut down for most of 2020, I felt this way about travel. Heading out for a quick weekend, or a trip with friends, was just a normal occurrence… until it wasn’t.  Like so many things, this changed with the pandemic, and I’m finding myself more grateful than ever to be able to talk about travel again. 
 
I mentioned this week that vacation planning (or should I say dreaming/browsing/brainstorming?) is one of my favorite pastimes. This week, we’re continuing our conversation about travel and finishing up some of our favorite go-to spots and quick getaways.  Whether you’re up for a lengthy flight (aloha!) or you’re wanting a quick road trip, we’ve got you covered. 
 
And I failed to mention the trip that David and I just booked recently. We wanted a quick trip somewhere cool (literally) to celebrate the end of the it’s-so-hot-outside-I-may-actually-catch-on-fire season, also known as a Texas summer. I’ve been wanting to go glamping- although I really wish we could find another name- for a long time. Big Cedar near Table Rock Lake has some really cool options at their new development, Camp Long Creek. We're  headed there at the end of the month to spend a few nights in one of their canvas glamping tents! I’ll report back and let you all know how it goes, but based on the forecast of highs in the low 70’s, I can tell you it’s probably going to be magical. 
 
Thanks as always for listening to us ramble. Here are a few links to help you find things we mentioned in the podcast. Don’t forget to tell us where you book your next trip!
