Seize The Summer and Travel with Travelocity.ca
We are officially into mid-July, how is your Summer shaping up?
Here in the household of chaos, we’re settling into a nice routine of ‘whatever strikes our fancy’. This routine is so unlike the ‘stick to-the-schedule-or-else’ school months of the year.
These precious 2 months is our time to ‘celebrate the un-schedule’ and take numerous mini trips, go to events and take in activities – as they come.
I just love this carefree, laidback and spontaneous time of the year!
While we travel out of country a lot in the Winter months, Summer is our time to explore locally. Hey, it’s the only season I really want to spend outdoors in Canada. You know by now that I’m an sun-lover at heart {Winter, boo!}.
I have a preference to explore my Canada in all it’s beauty … ahem, when it’s hot, hot, hot that is.
Like all sunny seasons previous, I really make it a goal to get out and take advantage of the girls’ Summer break. While there are a few lazy days at home due to weather etc, the majority of our time is spent outside and beyond. In fact, we’ve packed up the car and visited nearby cities and attractions a few times already this Summer.
Reality check! Make those memories people, you don’t have a lot of Summers before kids are grown up and doing their own thing.
So, back to travel, one of my favorite topics …
I have partnered with Travelocity.ca to Seize The Summer!
So, for the next couple of months, we will embark on some family travel adventures and I’ll be taking you along with us. Through social media of course … though I wish I could literally take you along, wouldn’t those photos be pricesless to post!
Watch for my Facebook and Twitter mentions all Summer long, using the #goandseizethesummer hashtag. You never know, maybe a famed little gnome might come along with us too! Get out the suitcases!
I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one that has a love passion for travel, with or without the kids – a plentiful mixture of both, I always say!
I really want YOU to explore + live + experience as well, life is just too short. Yet, we all want to save money too, which is why I have a deal for you my readers:

love the savings, bookmarking then talking with hubby about a getaway. Can’t wait to read where you go next, always love your travel posts!
Thanks Hailey, love sharing our adventures with the world, it’s a passion of ours!
Sweet, thanks!
Good luck Cathy, fingers crossed that one of my readers wins!
Thanks for the code, this will come in handy next month!
Oh, what are your Summer plans Nicole? You are very welcome too, happy traveling!
Oh, I’m sure I could come up with a nice weekend getaway, thanks for the discount code on travel!
Twist your rubber travel-loving arm, right?!
🙂
I like part time in RI so I spend TONS of time traveling to there from MD. I should really look for promo codes to make my traveling cheaper as sometimes I fly rather than drive! Thanks!
Ohh, lucky you! You really need to take advantage of promos like this then!
🙂
I have traveled more than I though I would be doing this summer! I so read to just relax at home with my little guy for the next few weeks!
Relaxation at home is nice, right? You always need a break from the chaos – even if it’s the good kind!
😉
I think we are done for vacations this summer. Our kids go back to school Aug 7th in the south!
Oh right, so they start beginning of June then? Any plans for the Fall or Winter?
We haven’t done any traveling yet, but we’re heading up to visit some family next week. That’s almost like a vacation. Sort of 🙂
That should be fun! Have a great time and be safe!!
We haven’t decided yet what/if we are doing anything yet! Most of our $$$ is going into renovations this summer which is a huge job in itself!
Can’t wait to read about your adventures. I’ll live vicariously through you LOL!
Oh, we are putting a TON of $$ into renos too, but there’s always time and budget for travel, I think I’d go insane otherwise. I’m a true 100% travel-aholic! lol
Thanks Stacie, can’t wait to share our adventures this Summer!
I wish I could take a weekend off to go somewhere! Good deals are hard to resist…lol
Sometimes a deal is too good to pass up, maybe a wekend getaway? 🙂
Oh wow! What an amazing opportunity!!! 😀 I am really excting to hear where you choose to go!
Thanks Soozie. I’ll be sharing our plans soon!
🙂
Trying to talk hubby into a weekend trip to Branson, Missouri. More likely to be in the autumn though since summer in the Southwest is just TOO hot!
Oh that would be nice, I haven’t been there before!
For me summers seem to be the time for blog travel;). We are homeschoolers so we tend to vacation in the fall when everyone goes back to school! We are already planning our fall Legoland trip here in California!
That is a great plan, wish we could do that – a little cooler plus not so busy!
That sounds like so much fun! I am not sure we have more travel plans as of yet. We have already taken several trips over the past couple of months though. Have fun our your adventures!
You HAVE been traveling a ton Staci,I have been watching and living vicariously through you!
🙂
I’m all about seizing any season 🙂 Although I have already visited 8 countries this year, and spending most of the summer home, although next week will fly to Chicago for BlogHer. Will you be there?
“I’m all about seizing any season” < ~ you ARE my people Katja! I won't be at BlogHer this year, thinking of a different US conference instead. Suggestions?
I love that little gnome! I think we are mostly staying local this year.
I would definitely use Travelocity if I were to go on vacation.
🙂
No travel plans this summer. I’m ready to relax at home 🙂
Expect the unexpected! 🙂
Staying at home sometimes is nice!
No travelling for us this summer as we just bought a park model RV and set it up in a park. I have never used Travelocity but think it is about time I checked it out.
We have a 5th wheel trailer, and we’re renting a spot for it next year! Excited to be able to camp whenever it strikes our fancy!
perfect excuse for some Summer travel. I always read through your many trips, so jealous. I think it’s time for us to get away, you convinced us!
We love using Travelocity when it comes to planning our family vacations. Thanks for sharing.
I can’t wait to see your photos, I’ll have to live vicariously through you on your summer travels! 🙂
Awesome Tami, 10% when booking for 4 can work out to quit a bit, what a great opportunity for your family!
Can save so much – think of the money to put aside for food, gas, souvenirs … it all adds up!
I’ve never used them before but will keep them in find. I look forward to hearing about your travels!
Always great to check when looking at travel, comparing prices and offers saves a ton of money!
since we are in our new house and money is tight we are having people visit us this summer, if they want to see my house they have to come, not showing any more pictures of it!
Haven’t been on an trip or a holiday in many many years, I used to travel and live all over with my job, now I want to stay home
Thanks for the code , it will probably come in handy!
Thanks for the savings code! I haven’t used Travelocity before but I will look into it!
will be interested seeing your new travel twitter posts
We are going to the Rockies and I won an Adrenaline Pkg to Kamloops that has zip line, white water rafting, a heli walk (our first stop before the rockies) and then to Alaska.
Not this summer, but I’ve used travelocity before. I like getting a good deal, and I like being able to book everything all at once.
Have bookmarked the page just in case we get a chance to go away
Travelocity is truly a wonderful site, so user friendly and has so much info. The deals are the best you can find, this year we’re staying close to home but during the winter hopefully we can use Travelocity to get a deal on a winter vacation. I look forward to seeing your travel twitters and Facebook postings, enjoy your summer!!
Thanks for sharing the discount code
The Amazing Race Canada is great for providing local travel inspiration
Don’t you just love on The Amazing Race (CBS version) when the Teams have to carry a Travelocity Gnome with them for a leg and someone inevitably forgets it and they have to go back and find it…not so much in the new iterations, but in the older Seasons, it was priceless TV. I love that Gnome.
We are not doing much traveling this summer but we hope to go someplace warm after Christmas. Travelocity is a site we have used and it really does deliver. I look forward to your travel posting, you really do get away often..yes I will say it, I’m jealous:)
You are obviously enjoying a splendid summer…very happy for you 🙂
I like travelling vicariously thru interesting bloggers such as yourself!
We are having mini vacations this summer. Every summer we usually go somewhere for a week or so, but this year we opted to do 5-6 different things, some are 1 night out.. some are just for the day.. but it’s really made summer much more fun I think. Travelocity is wonderful for trip planning, we’ve used them in the past.
I have a rare weekend off and we are heading to our family cabin this weekend- cannot wait to laze by the pool and enjoy the sun!
I am having family come to me instead of me going to them
I’d just like to say that I think it is lovely that you embrace all types of travel; it shows a nature of curiosity, fearlessness and humanity to your kids and fulfills you as individual and as a family dynamic. Good for you Tammi – some of us don’t make it that far from home, so it’s nice to read of your travels and live through them. And Travelocity is a neat company with a cute Gnome guy.
Seems I’m seeing a lot of “travel’ posts lately.. even ads! Maybe I’m being told something… this is our first summer not really having a trip of some sort planned. We’re doin small more local things, enables us to do more over a longer period of time as well…. still.. im missing those sweet hotel spa vacations
I would love to take a vacation even for a week…I haven’t had a holiday for many years.
You are so right Tammi, time does go far too quickly. Sara is now camping with friends and other fun stuff…I really miss that 🙂 Keep taking lots of pictures.
Thanks for sharing your getaways with everyone – I look forward to seeing where you will visit next!
I have never booked through Travelocity, I really should one time! We are going to Kauai next week, and can’t wait!
Itss like you read my mind! You seem to know so much about this, like you wrote
the book in it or something. I think that you can do with a ffew pics to
drive thhe messxage home a little bit, but other than that,
this is great blog. A great read. I will definitely be back.
