You may have forgotten about these gems, or quite possibly never even knew they existed!
With temperatures soaring into the 90's by Sunday, it seems like Summer may officially be here before the actual "official" date. Personally, I'm so ready for it! After all of the rain and all of the on-again, off-again temperature changes that make the Ross/Rachel relationship of Friends in the early 2000's seem pretty steady, I'm desperate for the heat!
Break out the beach towels and bathing suits, you're just a short drive away from one of the best Summer Hot Spots! Popular travel review website TripAdvisor ranked the top 50 Summer hot spots in America. Two Capital Region destinations made the list. Did your favorite 518 hot spot make the list?
Some times I'll stumble over to YouTube and throw in some of our local cities and towns just to see what pops up. You never know what you may have missed around the Capital Region or even just some of the beauty that we have around us.
