I am from Pittsburgh, Pa. My girls and I love to spend the weekend there and go to Kennywood Park(the amuzement park). We meet my sister there, who drives from Virginia. It's a girls's weekend. This will be our 5 year doing Kennywood!

Ok - we are going to the beach in 2 weeks (12 days to be exact) - which has been a summer tradition since I was about 3 years old when my Pop bought my Mom a timeshare so that his grandkids would always have a vacation...

My family's favorite summer tradition is enjoying soft ice cream from the neighborhood stand. It's only open from May - Labor Day and definitely a treat!

Our favorite summer traditions are having picnic lunches in our backyard and enjoying popsicles on the front steps after dinner. These times always evoke the best conversations with my children. I will cherish the memories we have made forever!

Every 4th of July - our group of about 30 friends gather at one person's house - go down to the local parade, then regather in the late afternoon for a bbq and we all sit on the lawn of the golf course and watch the fire works. I would not miss it for the world.

Watching the July 4th fireworks from our front yard. The town shoots them off from the high school football field, which is close enough that we can hear the games in the fall.

For us summer means bonfires and smores in the back yard. There is nothing better than a summer evening with friends around the campfire.

Hands down an ice cold beer in the evening, the smell of the sea in the air, sand on my feet and soggy wet hugs from sea soaked children. It's winter here, can't wait for summer. Enjoy yours!!

Lazy summer days that end with a salad and meat on the BBQ (grill)

Knowing that I wake up early, my son will leave a note on my laptop saying "wake me for breakfast". That is my clue to make muffins, ride our bikes to the beach, and sit on our bench talking about our day. He's 14 and not sure how many more summers this will happen:(

Our favorite summer tradition is to travel with the whole family. It's always fun discovering new places and meeting new faces when I'm with the family.

Our tradition is sitting outside during the evening, with an icy cold drink, and enjoying the last bit of sunshine of the day.

Eating watermelon on the beach. We only live a few miles from the beach, so we do this a lot in summer! Yummo!
