Weekly Summer Link Up: Best Trip of My Life

I am linking up with the fabulously sweet Monica from I Heart Grade 3 for her super fun weekly summer link up. Each week she gives us a topic and we get a chance to share a bit more about ourselves with all you wonderful people!!

So this week's topic is the Best Trip of Your Life. I have come to the realization that I simply don't get out enough. Sure, for the past 6 months I've had the excuse of not being able to walk. But as I sat down to write this post I realized I don't really have a lot of trips under my belt. I've never left the East Coast, and the biggest trip I ever took was when I was 7 years old and got the chance to go to Disney World for a week. 

I am determined to change this though, and plan on getting out there more in the near future! My car accident taught me that each day is a gift and it is up to us to make the most of it! So I'm determined, from here on out, to make the most of my days! Next summer I'll be back up on my feet and have plans to travel!!

Anyway, my most exciting trips in the past few years have been day trips or short overnight trips with my sister and nephew. Going to the beach, amusement parks, etc. Getting to spend time with each other and have fun doing it, and am looking forward to getting to make all those same trips with my niece! 

I realized that the Best Trip of My Life is a day trip I took with my nephew last summer. I already blogged about this trip because it was so awesome, so just click on the image below to head over to that post! I had THE BEST DAY EVER with my nephew at the Crayola Factory in Easton, PA getting to enjoy The Crayola Experience!!

Don't forget to head back over to I Heart Grade 3 and see who else linked up to share about their trips! You can link up too!!


Don't forget that you can link up for Spotlight Saturday (link up open all week), a Teacher's Show and Tell! Come showcase your favorite products, activities, resources, ideas, or whatever else you're excited about in your classroom! Can't wait to read your Spotlight!!

  1. Oh my goodness! I have always wanted to visit the Crayola Factory! My sister took her children there a few years ago and after seeing her pictures I knew that I wanted to take my children there. It looks like so much fun. Pennsylvania isn't that far away - perhaps I can convince my husband to go there instead of Myrtle Beach this August!

    Thanks for linking up again!

  2. The Crayola Factory sounds like a lot of fun! I wish I had known about it when we lived in New Jersey.

    1. Oh my goodness, thank you so much!! You're so sweet!! It has taken a long time, but I am finally beginning to feel like myself again! I have been practicing walking using my brace and walker and I get a bit stronger every day!! I was very lucky, and someday soon I'll be able to walk without any help at all!!
      If I could, I would buy an RV and travel across the country, stopping in every single state. After that I'd head overseas to take an African safari and stroll around Ireland. :-) A girl can dream!!
      Thank you so much for asking, that's so sweet of you! I hope you have a wonderful week, and thanks so much for reading and leaving such wonderful feedback!!

  6. This looks like such a wonderful experience! Unfortunately, we don't have factories like that here (were you can go and get the whole experience). I live in South Africa and an African safari is definitely a good one to have on your bucket list - plus the exchange rate is in your favor :)

    I'm so happy to hear that you are on the mend from your accident.

  7. I read your best trip ever and had an AHA moment! A Crayola Experience just opened here in central Florida. I am so glad to get your opinion of it. It will definitely be on the summer bucket list! Thanks for the recommendation.
