Summer Travel Special Issue
Everything you need to skip town.
by the Babble editors
July 18, 2007
The heat index is rising and the kids are restless — what better time than summer for a change of scenery? Whether you're jetting off to Tuscany or just walking to the pool, let Babble's Summer Travel Issue be your trip advisor. Our Babble Best column gives you advice on keeping your kids sun-safe (and — bonus! — stylish) with the best sunglasses, sunscreens and sun hats on the market. We also did your swimsuit shopping for you — check out our five favorite boys' and girls' swimsuits. Still not sure where you're spending the summer? Consider a stargazing vacation, a Tuscany trip or a stress-free Disney adventure. And if you've decided to take it easy this summer, travel vicariously with two of our favorite columnists: Ayun Halliday, who's tripping through the Balkans with two children in Travels with Baby, and The Mates of States' Kori Gardner, who's writing from the road with her husband/bandmate and their toddler in Band on the (Diaper) Run. And we've got even more summer stuff on the way, so keep checking the Babble homepage — preferably from an air-conditioned room. — The Babble Editors
