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. 

GNOME-01So, 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:

 Use the code ‘CHAOS10’ and get 10% off a prepaid GoodBuy Hotel booking of
$200 or more on Travelocity.ca**

 I hope you also make it your mission to make the most of this season and #goandseizethesummer. Don’t forget to use the hashtag on your travels too, cannot wait to see how far we go!

So tell me, any travel plans for the rest of the Summer?

  13. 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!

  19. 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.

    Reply

    • 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!

      Reply

  20. 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!

  33. 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!!

  36. 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.

    Reply

  37. 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:)

    Reply

  40. 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.

    Reply

  41. 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!

    Reply

  43. 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.

  44. 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

    Reply

  45. I would love to take a vacation even for a week…I haven’t had a holiday for many years.

    Reply

  46. 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.

  47. Thanks for sharing your getaways with everyone – I look forward to seeing where you will visit next!
