Stop and save this travel hack! Because I sure wish I had earlier. 🥳✈️🧳
You’re packing all wrong for family trips. That’s why you have giant, heavy suitcases and are a chronic overpacker.
Travel tip? Quit washing your clothes.
Don’t believe me? Read on.
Let’s talk about traveling with wool… in the middle of summer… in the heat and rain. Sounds wrong doesn’t it?
❌Merino wool is not…
Hot or scratchy or thick or itchy or heavy.
(This is what I had thought all these years.)
👉Try it to believe it! @unboundmerino #affiliate
Yall know I don’t talk about things I don’t fully support! 😉
❗️Unbound Merino is…
Soft and soft and thin and anti-bacterial and quick-drying and super-packable.
👉And my new favorite travel clothing.
I have several wool short sleeved shirts and a long sleeved hoodie from this company. They’re pretty magical.
🧳Perfect for slightly chilly or cold.
✈️Perfect for day one or day 8.
🎒Perfect for wearing or packing in your day bag for later. (Because they’re so smoosh-able!)
🚙Perfect for dressing up or down. Simple and classy.
🥾Perfect for some fall hikes. No more synthetics!

Wanna know my secret to the best family vacations? Good food! 🍨🍕🍝
Head to @visitwestjefferson (the super cute little town in northwest North Carolina), and plan to eat at soooo many local restaurants.
(When you aren’t shopping for treasures, looking at art, climbing Mount Jefferson, or looking for murals that is!)

🍩Start the day @hole_lotta_doughnuts for the biggest donut you’ve ever seen. And you can eat it outside at the fire place!
☕️Grab a mid-morning coffee at @bohemia_coffee . Or a delicious frozen hot chocolate for my fellow non-coffee drinkers.
🍕Share a pizza or yummy garlic knots or pasta or salad @slice_wj . Lots of choices!
🍨Enjoy a unique afternoon snack @thirddayofchristmas Think rolled ice cream piled high with toppings all while listening to Christmas music and shopping for ornaments.
🍔Eat a smokehouse supper @newriverbrewing With a hip decor, this is the place to chill while having a beer on tap and some yummy barbecue, wings, or burgers.
🍿Still looking for bonus points with the kids? Plan to catch that 7 PM movie at the locally-owned Parkway Theater. (Popcorn is the whole reason to watch movies afterall. 😃)
🍷Wanting an “adult” end to your day? Head to @oldbarnwine where you can relax to live music in a beautiful setting with some fancy adult drinks. It’s a beautiful place at their Christmas tree farm.
.
.
This is just a sampling of the great local restaurants. You’re gonna need a few more days to eat all the things!
❓Which of these sounds like a must have to you?
👉Save this for your next North Carolina vacation.
