Summer "Super Tip" Roundup

ByShelly Rivoli Updated on
Home » destination » Summer "Super Tip" Roundup
Yep. That’s us at Yosemite just a week ago. (Sigh.)
If you’re like me, head spinning searching the room for which corner summer ducked away into when you weren’t looking, you could probably use a quiet afternoon to just reflect a while on the magic moments you got to share with your family both away and at home these past few months. 
Since so many of you have been on the road and out on your own adventures (and catching up from them), I thought a recap of the many new destination and practical family travel tips we’ve brought online might be in order for this Tip Tuesday. There have been some great ones, if I do say so myself!
Please do pass along any of these that may help a friend planning upcoming travel! And remember you can always find more tips and advice on our new Destinations page, in FAQs and Popular Topics, and of course in your trusty Travels with Baby guidebooks.

With the scurry of the school year now upon us, new routines, new obligations, new ventures (cheers to that), I hope we can all get a chance to sit back with the kids and a big bowl of popcorn to celebrate summer 2011, as we’ll be welcoming 2012 before we know it!
Safe journeys,
