Bentley 6-in-1 Trike : My Review

Being outside is my 2 year old son's absolute favorite thing. If he's having a tough or tantrum-filled day, I know a walk will instantly cure his bad mood! Since we are outside all the time,having a great stroller is key for our outings.

Things to do in Lexington, KY

Lexington, Kentucky is one of my favorite places. I’ve traveled all over the world, and as cheesy as it sounds, this city genuinely always feels like home. When I was a student at the University of Kentucky (go big blue!!), I had the privilege of living in this great town for five years.

🚙Take your AAA Membership on the road with you 🚙Take your AAA Membership on the road with you this summer! 
 
During road trips with my family as a kid, I remember my Mom taking out a big paper map to navigate our route. 🗺 I have memories of counting how many old barns we’d see (as part of a game to keep us entertained in a time without cell phones). 🚗 I also remember being members of AAA, and knowing that if something went wrong while on the road, they’d be able to help us out. 
 
I’ve been able to take some pretty epic road trips the past few years, 🚘 and we’re planning out another trip at the end of this summer. It’s good to know that going forward, our AAA membership has our back. 
 
@aaa_traveler offers roadside assistance across the US, 🇺🇸 and discounts on hotels and attraction tickets. 🎟 They also offer gas price savings (through Shell) as part of their Fuel Rewards Program, which is particularly useful nowadays! ⛽️ The Premier membership we have comes with 200 miles of towing, flat tire service, battery jump start, out of fuel service, and more. Definitely a great safety net to have! 💜 
 
AAA has always and will now be a part of road trips for us. 🧳 I love the peace of mind I get from my membership too. 

While I’m working on planning our next family trip, check out these throwback photos from a few recent road trip adventures in California, Utah, DC, and even Scotland ➡️

I truly think traveling allows you to live your li I truly think traveling allows you to live your life to its fullest and richest version. I’ve never felt more alive and in the moment than I have when I’ve been out exploring new places. 🌎

Cheesy, but a very true message 😇 

What’s holding you back? 👇🏼 Think of a place you want to go, then make a concrete plan of how you can go there. That might be making a budget to save for airfare, working more, cutting costs, finding others to go with etc. 🌎 Make a plan, then do it!
