In spite of the alarming news on gas prices and other expenses, our family will be taking a couple of long-planned vacations this month, one to visit Grandma (and Great-Grandma) and another to piggyback a little family fun onto a business trip. While I'm not looking forward to the packing, I am excited about introducing my children to a new place, reconnecting with family, and even having some fun on the road and in the air.

Is your family taking a summer vacation? Talk about it on our message boards, or email me at Catherine@scholastic.com.
