I know what you're thinking , this summer hasn't been everything we hoped it would be so far. The weather has been a let down to say the least. It's been raining almost 9 days out of 10 so far, and when it is sunny it's so humid you almost can't even breathe.

But let's not let the bipolar weather get us down. There's still so much time for us to get out there and explore before we're thrown back into the frigid winter months.
What's really important to us is time. Most of us are working all week and the only time we have to get out of the city is on the weekends. So, I'm here to help you get the most out of your weekends.
This summer you can choose from an adventurous trip if you're an adrenaline junkie, a camping trip if you're the outdoorsy type, a spa trip if you're looking for full relaxation, and a city trip if you're always going to be a city kid at heart. All of these trips can be fit into a single weekend this July, or for the rest of the summer, so you don't have to worry about taking any days off!
