Date Night: Plan A Summer Road Trip Weekend Getaway Together

Summer is pretty much here and what better way to celebrate than with a weekend getaway with your girlfriend. Instead of scrambling at the last minute, make a date night for a planning session for a road trip. Whether it’s a cozy cabin in the mountains, a fancy hotel on the beach, or a charming lake house, there are endless possibilities if you book for enough in advance. Don’t forget to consider AirBNB or VRBO as an option for unique and affordable accommodations as well. With a little research and some brainstorming, you and your significant other can map out the perfect weekend escape. Who knows, you may even discover a new favorite destination that becomes the perfect annual getaway. 

What to Drink This Summer: Vodka Soda

Looking for a cool and refreshing drink to beat the summer heat? As much as I love a good bourbon, it’s just not a great summer drink. When it comes to refreshing summer cocktails,  it’s hard to beat a classic vodka soda. Throw in a slice of lemon or lime and you’ve got yourself a cool and refreshing beverage that’s perfect for sipping on a hot day. It’s the perfect light and bubbly concoction.

I live in Texas, and our twist on a vodka soda is to use Topo Chico mineral water – a local favorite that adds an extra kick to this classic cocktail. Trust us, this drink is guaranteed to impress and leave you feeling cool and relaxed. 

Weekend Chore: Make an Optometrist Appointment

Did you know that your sunglasses can help protect your eyes from harmful UV rays, but they can also hide some serious issues with your vision? That’s why it’s important to make an optometrist appointment for a check-up on both your eyeglasses and/or sunglasses. If you don’t already have an optometrist you go to annually, spend some time this weekend and find one. It’s recommended that you check in with your optometrist at least once a year to make sure your vision is top-notch and there are no underlying issues with your eyes. So, grab your shades, get your phone out, find a good optometrist and give your eyes the care they deserve.
