  1. Astoria, Oregon- What better way to spend your summer vacation than to spend it at the beautiful and nostalgic Astoria, Oregon.

Astonia is surrounded by fresh seafood from places such as South Bay Wild Fish House, named after the family owned vessel of the same name. 
  2. Myrtle Beach, South Carolina- Here at Myrtle Beach, the boardwalk is jam packed with activities for teens and young adults. Enjoy such features as a carnival-like atmosphere with souvenir shops, arcades and rides like the 187-foot-tall Myrtle beach Sky Wheel.

  3. Orlando, Florida- Why not go on a classic family vacation and visit Orlando’s one of a kind amusement parks such as, Walt Disney World, Universal Studios, Seaworld and more. For those cautious about Covid regulations, no need to worry, the parks have taken many precautions so families can have a safe enjoyable visit to the parks. 
  4. California- Get away and soak up the sun this summer. What better spot to visit than California, with endless beaches and great food.
