Every summer as a kid I took two trips — a longer one to Old Lyme on the Connecticut shore and a shorter one to York, Maine. Both vacations were all about hitting the beach, swimming all day, and eating as many lobster rolls, fried clams, and ice cream treats as I could.
While I still love a New England beach vacation, as I’ve gotten older and moved around the country, I’ve started dabbling in other kinds of summer travel. I love Saugatuck, Michigan and Door County, Wisconsin for a classic Great Lakes vacation filled with frozen custard and fried walleye sandwiches. I also love summer city excursions — yes, summers are hot in Charleston or New Orleans, but it’s hot everywhere, so you might as well take advantage of the smaller crowds and discounted hotel rooms. The icy cocktails at the Ordinary in Charleston or Jewel of the South in New Orleans are even more refreshing in August.
