Win One of Two $50 Hanes Gift Certificates
Time for Summer Packing…
For our family, summer involves a lot of packing, unpacking and laundry!!! A ton of it in fact. (By September, I am usually relieved summer is over because I can finally get a break from all the packing!)
So each summer, I need to make sure that Jackson’s wardrobe is ready for summer. For us to survive all the dirty days at summer camp and at my family’s cabin (where washing machines are not an option,) I need a huge amount of clothing supplies. 
I simply cannot bear to wake up in the morning and put dirty clothes on my kids. I know that they will be the color of dust in a matter of minutes, but I need to at least start the day with a clean slate. So our suitcases are stuffed with simple and inexpensive clothing staples, like basic t-shirts, lots of extra socks and underwear, and a fresh pair of shorts for everyday.
The great thing about kids’ clothing – especially clothes for summer – is that there are inexpensive options like Hanes Kids.
This summer, Hanes wants to get you and your kids ready for traveling with some helpful travel tips from Emily Kaufman, aka The Travel Mom.
And for some contest fun, they teamed up with Disney to offer families everywhere in the US the chance to “Vacation in Comfort” with a family vacation to Disney during The Year of A Million Dreams at Walt Disney World® Resort. (The contest runs from June through August 30, 2008 and seven winning families will be drawn on Tuesday, September 21. You can visit www.hanes.com/vacationincomfort for additional details and to enter.)
Of course, we also have a giveaway for you – we have two $50 gift certificates to Hanes to giveaway. If you want to be one of our two winners, leave a comment to enter. We will announce the winners July 15th. (This contest is only open to US shipping addresses. So sorry fellow Canadians!)
What about your family? Do you do a lot of summer traveling?

We used to more, but with gas prices we can’t go away as much. We try to at least once a year, though!
Can’t afford a family vacation this year, but both of my kids do have summer camp planned. Along with a week long trip to Grandmas!
Between my daughter playing and husband coaching the travelling softball team, there wasn’t much time left for vacation travel during the summer.
We can’t afford to travel much because of the gas prices
I’m feeling lucky! Prove me right.
We do alot of day trips,and hopefully away for a week to the beach
Can’t have enough socks in this household. With 3 kids and 1 on the way we could use a break on our wallets with this awesome contest. Thanks for the opportunity.
THANKS A LOT, BEST OF LUCK TO ALL.
Since I am a school teacher, I would say that my family does a lot of traveling in the summer. This summer we, (Dad, Mom, Henry,2, and Vivian, 5 months) spent 12 days going to a family wedding in Denver, CO and in Phoenix, AZ visiting more family. Later this month, I will will take the two kids to Lubbock, TX to visit my parents. We will probably make a few day trips down to the beach also.
We have a very busy and costly summer, with sports and band camps, son in laws surgery 1200 miles away(one way) daughters wedding and birth of sons first child, both of them also over 1200 miles each way from us, and school starting.
Also with the price of gas we need all the help we can get.
We sure could use this prize to help us out with our budget.
Thank you for a chance to win a very much needed prize.
Were not traveling very far this year, with the high cost of gas. We need new Hanes t-shirts, so could really use the gift certificate, though. Thanks for having the contest!
We used to do a lot of summer traveling. Unfortunately we can’t afford to go anywhere this year.
Thank you for the Hanes giveaway.
We don’t travel very much because we have a seasonal campsite but when we do we have a blast!
No traveling this year except to the neccesary daily trips to store,etc.
God, I hope we do a lot this summer. My husbnd’s work schedule has not allowed it in the past.
…not this year, we’re keeping our vacation destination within a 400 mile radius of home; no jetting off for a trip this year !!!
We normally don’t do much summer travel, we tend to go places in the spring when they are quieter.
You can never have enough underwear and socks!
We aren’t traveling far but were still packing up and staying overnight, camping in a couple of the state parks ^-^ It’s going to be a blast but we all know how socks seem to disappear on trips!
I love Hanes sox and undies.
Were going to six flags!
I’m looking forward to my daughter being potty trained, so I’d get some panties for her. And their new bras are great!
Hanes is one of my favorites
Please enter me into the contest. Thanks!
I love Hanes. Their products are so comfy and affordable. Thanks so much for the giveaway!
Hanes is such a great company. I think their products are really good quality and a great price.
We have no vacation plans for the summer due to the boomerang effect of the high gas prices. Hopefully we will be able to spend a few days away from home visiting family and friends. Thanks for such a useful giveaway!
We used to travel more, but have turned into farmers this year and have goats to milk. Since we are only about 1/2 hour from Lake Michigan it is easy to do some pretty cool daytrips.
Great giveaway! I’d love the extra money to help with summer and schoool clothes. Please enter me too. Thanks!
We don’t have too many trips planned this summer – maybe we’ll head to the beach for a couple of days – that’s always fun!
We don’t do a lot of traveling these days but when we do we always head for coast.
We just got back from a family visit. Had fun, but glad to be home.
Great giveaway. I love hanes.
used to travel not anymore with these gas prices
Yes we do a fair amount. We have gone to 2 family reunions and a graduation trip. We will continue to enjoy events locally as well.
My kids laugh at me because I give soxs for gifts. We will be staying colose to home this summer. Count me in to win
My son loves your product and so do I. The Price Fit and Styles!
Hi there. I’m a reporter for The Associated Press. I’d love to talk to anyone about their vacation plans (or lack of plans, as it may be) for a story I’m writing on AP’s national business wire. Please contact me if you’re interested.
Thanks!
