Happy Tuesday, friends! Thanks for the love on yesterday’s Father’s Day Gift Guide, and welcoming me back! I realize you come to Hi Sugarplum for style finds, travel inspiration, and beauty tips, along with a healthy dose of positivity… and I don’t plan on changing any of that! The change happening will be more behind-the-scenes… in both my personal and business life. Decisions I make will come more from a place of intended fairness and equality, and I hope you’ll stay for the fun!
Speaking of fun… summer is here (as evidenced by our 98-degree days!). And while summer is usually synonymous with travel, our getaways will certainly look a lot different this year. But even though international travel has been put on hold, there are TONS of incredible places to visit in our beautiful United States!
We were actually booked to be in France and Switzerland this week, but are now pivoting to someplace closer. I rounded up some of our favorite US trips from years past, and hope they’ll help you plan your family fun this summer! Click the link under each photo for the full trip report.
Antelope Canyon & Horseshoe Bend
Vegas to Phoenix – a Road Trip of National Parks with Kids
West Texas Road Trip – Marathon, Alpine & Marfa
The High Road to Taos Scenic Byway

Okay, so Hawaii is likely not opening for most of us, but I couldn’t resist including it! If you’re looking for something quick, these are some of our favorite US hotels, all worthy of a weekend trip!

Travel Q&A Series | Part One // Part Two // Part Three
The Travel Q&A Series was a lot of fun, I answered tons of your questions about booking, packing, hotels, and more. Are you headed anywhere this summer, or staying close to home? We’re hoping to spend some time at the lake, and maybe a road trip!
And for my international readers, you can find all my Europe and Mexico posts HERE. See you back here tomorrow… I’m sharing my Road Trip Essentials to help make those long car rides more fun and comfortable!
