Best Ways To Enjoy The Summertime

By Devon Charney


If you are anything like me, then you probably love to travel. When I was younger, I would travel all over the place with my family constantly. Sometimes we would head up to the California coast for some fishing. Other times we would go on a hiking trip, or maybe even camping. It didn't matter though, because we had a great time no matter what.

Now that I have a family of my own, I want to continue those same traditions. I believe that kids are indoors too much these days you know. I don't want to be like that and I do not want my family to be like that either. I truly think it makes people appreciate life more if they can see the world a bit.

Last year we went to Lake Tahoe for a long week. In case you haven't been there, you would really love it. You won't believe your eyes when you see how clear this lake is. You also won't believe how cold it is on your feet.

I wanted to avoid staying in a dingy hotel though. In a place like Tahoe the hotels are not that great to stay in. With all the smoking and gaming going on you just end up smelling the whole trip, and who wants that. Also, you end up eating in their restaurants, and that costs a ton of money after a few days.

But my solution was simple. After a bit of looking around, I found some really nice rental homes we could stay in. I was fearful that I would end up spending more money in a rental house, but I was quite wrong. I honestly saved quite a bit of money by staining in a rental house to my shock.

We also managed to save a lot of money on our eating. With full kitchen access, we just needed some groceries and we were good to go for the week. It was great.

This winter I think I want to go back too. I had the idea that I should try snow skiing before I get too old to do so. Although I'm not much a fan of cold weather, I think that with enough gear piled on I should be able to keep comfortable enough to fully enjoy myself.
