The Sewing Mom

I so thrilled about our upcoming vacations in July. You read that correctly, we’re actually taking more than one vacation this summer and both of them are in July. There are many years that we don’t take a vacation at all, so, for us to have two all ready planned is just unheard of!

Our first will be a working vacation in Tennessee. We’ll be spending a few day selling our fabric items at a booth in Knoxville. We have a few extra days though that we plan on seeing some sites and visiting with family. We’ll be heading home from that trip so that we can do laundry and regroup before heading out on a secret vacation to celebrate my husband’s birthday. I can’t tell you where we’re going because he might just read this post and that would give away the surprise. Let’s just say we’re going to have some fun, do some exploring and enjoy some great family time.

It’s not always easy planning a trip with kids of any age. We have a twelve year old and I always like to make sure there is something for all of us to enjoy. Most importantly, the activities have to be things we can enjoy doing together, that’s what family time is all about.

If I lived on the east coast, I might be looking for things to do in New Jersey. And, if I were looking for family fun activities to do in New Jersey, I’d very quickly discover that the first three Mondays in July are being called Magic Mondays. Magic Mondays are when radio Disney’s hottest musical artists will appear live on Morey’s Piers for free concerts, twice each Monday, at 1 and 4 P.M.. The Radio Disney Summer Concert Series finale is scheduled for 2 pm Saturday, July 26, 2008 at the Wildwoods Convention Center Oceanfront Arena.

If you’re considering a vacation to New Jersey, consider Cape May hotels and Morey’s Piers. Great places to stay and great places for entertainment.

Do you have plans this summer?
