All you need is the perfect sandy set up: Pack your beach tote with a towel, sunscreen, and some beach toys to occupy the kids while you settle into a new story.

Road Trips

Feeling stir crazy? There’s no better time to hit the road and see something new! Pack your gear—including a cooler, blankets, and pillows—and chart your course along a scenic route to your next great adventure. Visit the country’s largest ball of twine in Kansas, or make a b-line to the drive in (there are still many across the country, including in PA, NJ, and OH!)  All you need is a car, a playlist, a few portable games and some snacks!
