MORE ROAD TRIP IDEAS
Updated: Jun 9, 2020
It has been a heavy week... I could not let this week's blog post go by without addressing what has been a very sad and introspective week for our world.
As if a pandemic wasn't enough, our country is now heartbroken over our current political climate. It seems 2020 just keeps getting harder and harder.
Well I hope you and your families remain safe... so now you may be thinking...“Now is the time that our families may need a break more than ever!" Are you still trying to figure out what to do and where to go this summer? It is safe to say NO ONE thought we would see a summer quite like this one being socially distant from friends and family all while wearing masks. Staying positive is key so checkout below for some great ideas for this unique and crazy summer. Click here for other road trip ideas from Take OFF Concierge. STAY SAFE!!!
*** VERY IMPORTANT ** Before you plan, please be sure to check state tourism sites and CDC about COVID-19 restrictions and quarantine guidelines in each state.
