Summer Fun
Ask those close to me about my maturity level, and they’ll tell you that I’m just a big kid. I’m 43, but I might as well be about 12. I love finding joy and humor in the simple (and stupid) things, I’m down for silly adventures that could very well lead to public embarrassment and I believe that the best day of the year is the last day of school. Even as an adult, I’ve never lost the sense of the fun and freedom that summer brings. This month, we’re bringing the summer fun to you with plenty of places to eat and visit—we have a collection of day trip itineraries for families, couples and more on pg. 50. For laid-back bites that are sure to please, turn to pg. 56 for a roundup of some of the Lehigh Valley’s hidden (and not-so-hidden) culinary gems.
If you’re looking to travel this summer, don’t miss our expert’s vacation planning tips on pg. 29. Before you pack for that trip, make sure that the kids are kitted out in everything they need to look their best with a trip to SonnyMoon Children’s Boutique—more about them on pg. 26. If you’re staying home this summer and you just want somewhere to cool off, we have five of them for you on pg. 40. And nothing says summer like ice cream; you’ll want an Atomic Freeze after reading about it on pg. 64.
Don’t miss our conversation with Lehigh Valley With Love’s George Wacker on pg. 37, Janicca Covington’s recipe for chickpea salad on pg. 62, how to work out like a soldier with Mel Nelson on pg. 33 and the winners of our 12th annual Pet Photo Contest on pg. 44, plus more in this edition.
Cannonball!
