Some Charter Members are using the summer months to slow down, reset, and relax, while others are busy packing events and activities in. No matter what you choose this summer, we hope it’s one for the memory books. We asked Searstone Charter Members to share their plans with us and just what it is that makes summer so special to them. Find out what they said by reading below. Who knows, you may even find inspiration for yourself.

What do you have planned for this summer?
Lynnette and David Womble:
In February of last year, we booked a Viking river cruise for June of 2022 from Moscow to Saint Petersburg, Russia. Not going to happen!

Just returned from Las Vegas, Flagstaff AZ, Sedona, AZ, The Grand Canyon, Monument Valley, raft riding in Glen Canyon, Zion and a much needed rest at the Weston outside Las Vegas on Lake Meade.
Alex and Caryn Hart:
We’re soon heading to Cape Cod for a week to help celebrate my brother’s 80th birthday with him and his family. Then our older daughter and one of our granddaughters are visiting us from Florida for a few days. We’ll also be heading to the Jersey shore later this summer to spend a few days with Caryn’s family. In short, a pretty busy summer!

Beach trips.
Rich and Darlene Honaker:
Spend time with our granddaughter who turns two in October.

Just relaxing and reading more. After a few flights to see grandchildren graduate, we’ve decided to let the airlines improve their scheduling. Sometimes home is the best place to be.
Ginger and Bob Tamarin:
No travel plans in the future. Just visiting with grandchildren here.
