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. hanes-socks.jpg

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.

hanes-disney.jpgThis 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?

  4. 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

  5. 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.

  9. We don’t do a lot of traveling these days but when we do we always head for coast.

  10. 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!

  11. Great giveaway! I’d love the extra money to help with summer and schoool clothes. Please enter me too. Thanks!

  12. 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.

  13. 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!

  14. Hanes is such a great company. I think their products are really good quality and a great price. 🙂

  15. I love Hanes. Their products are so comfy and affordable. Thanks so much for the giveaway!

  18. I’m looking forward to my daughter being potty trained, so I’d get some panties for her. And their new bras are great!

  21. 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!

  23. We normally don’t do much summer travel, we tend to go places in the spring when they are quieter.

  24. …not this year, we’re keeping our vacation destination within a 400 mile radius of home; no jetting off for a trip this year !!!

  25. God, I hope we do a lot this summer. My husbnd’s work schedule has not allowed it in the past.

  27. We don’t travel very much because we have a seasonal campsite but when we do we have a blast!

  28. 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.

  29. 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!

  30. 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.

  31. 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.

  33. 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.

  37. Between my daughter playing and husband coaching the travelling softball team, there wasn’t much time left for vacation travel during the summer.

  38. 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!

  39. We used to more, but with gas prices we can’t go away as much. We try to at least once a year, though!

  40. Enter me please! I love Hanes because it doesn’t shrink up or fall apart in the washing machine. During the summer we don’t travel too far. We go to Sea World a lot, but that’s only about a 15 minute drive. Gas is too expensive to even consider going on road trips.

  41. I am currently on one of the big trips we take each summer to visit family. We basically pack for numerous trips within the single trip, as family is spread out and we go hopping from one state to the next. Ugh!

  42. We usually just take one long vacation and a few one day trips during the summer. I really like Hanes’ clothing for the kids; it actually lasts and washes up really well 🙂 Thanks!

  45. We live in Metro Boston and take weekend daytrips. Museums, farms, beaches, aquariums, pools, waterparks, city living and backyard BBQs with family friends. We’ve been keeping our trips within 90 minutes of home for the price of gas.

  46. With this economy, we are not travelling anywhere. Local daytrips in our area are about it for this year.

  47. We just got back from our annual family reunion camping trip aka no showers, no running water for three days. My best tip is bring lots of sunscreen and lots of bug spray. And a variety of clothing that is versatile and will cover you rain or shine. We also bring our clothing on hangers and as stuff gets wet from swimming, we hang the hangers on trees for quick drying.

  49. We actually don’t do any traveling in the summer as that is a busy time at dh’s work and he can’t really take time off. The girls, the granddaughter and I went to cali tho’ to visit relatives in May tho’. Actually most of our “vacations” seem to be just going to see relatives. lol.
    Thanks for a great giveaway!

  50. I’m waiting to for Dec. to take our family vacation to Disneyland. Thanks and I love Hanes!!

  51. We never go anywhere.. seriously.. haven’t traveled in a thousand years. I would love to go somewhere.. anywhere!

  52. We do do a lot of summer traveling. We just came back today from Las Vegas and we went to the outlet stores while we were there. The Hanes store only had small sizes. I would love to win this gift certificate so that I can order from their website.

  55. Our family spends the summer in Big Bear! It’s less than a gallon of gas from home!

  58. When my children were young I took them camping in a tent at least 2 each summer.
    Now they are grown, I am divorced and cant really afford a trip.
    I plan to get a job, make enough money to take my grandchildren to Disney, maybe to Florida to camp near beach. I love doing that!

  60. With high gas prices we try to travel to nearby attractions. We really enjoy the summer because we can camp which saves on hotel costs and is a lot more fun for the kids.

  64. We usually rent a cabin at a lake, but with gas prices this year we are staying home…so I decided to bring the vacation here and celebrate all summer! Outdoor movies, sleeping under the stars, game nights, lots of BBQing, picnic dinners, and a Midsummer’s Night Cookout…

  66. Yes, we do a fair amount of traveling, but only to the northern part of the state this year. Nothing too far away because of gas prices. We do love to get away from the city and up to the woods though!

  69. We went to Europe in May. I was there 1 day and got severely ill and had to come home and go into the hospital. The biggest disappointment ever. I will probably never get to go there again. This August we are taking our grandson to Disneyworld for his first birthday. Looking forward to that very much.

  70. We love to travel, especially to Northwest Arkansas (Eureka Springs). What a wonderful, charming and relaxing place to spend a few days!

  72. Our travel during the summer is usually limited to weekend camping trips. The big vacation is usually in the fall.

  73. My family (mom & dad, sister, husband and in-laws)and me had a great summer vacation this year. My parents came to visit from Germany for the first time and we showed them Savannah, GA, St. Augustine, FL and Panama City, FL. My parents were delighted. I love vacation with the family. We try to do something every year but it is hard when you live in two different countries.

  74. Thanks for the giveaway, I would love to win this! We love to do local summer things, being we live at the beach, there’s so much to do.

  76. We used to vacation in early spring somewhere hot and then just take shorter road trips throughout the summer. With gas prices being what they are we have had to cut out the trips that we love so much. We do plan to do some hiking in a state park that is 45min to an hour from here a few times this summer, but that will just be for the day.

  78. My family doesn’t travel because we are on a fixed income and rwally can’t affors to take a vacation or travel anywhere though we would if we could.

  82. Due to gas prices, we can’t do alot of traveling, but we do local parks and stuff. Thanks for the entry!

  84. No major traveling for us this summer. However, we are doing some day trips to the beach and local attractions. We keep easy to pack/wash changes of clothes in the car though, you never know when you’ll need them.

  86. I have a new grandchild, so I travel as much as possible, because I don’t want to miss watching her grow.

  89. We usually go to the beach a couple of times in the summer and then towards the end we go to the Blue Ridge mountains which is only and hour and a half drive from our home.We try and enjoy as much of the summer as we can.

  90. My family and I usually take a week-long vacation every other year, and with the price of gas as it is, we have been taking short road trips to our destinations the past few times around.

  92. I normally go to the consignment sales put on my Mother of Muliples where I find really nice inexpensive quality clothes, lots of t-shirt and short. Thanks for the contest

  93. What a treat this would be to win! We’ve done a little traveling early this summer, not too far from home though, since baby girl is on her way any day now!

  95. We don’t do alot of summer traveling. With the gas prices we really won’t be able to drive far for a vacation at all. Just going to spend it swimming, at the park, and taking walks etc.

  97. No as a single mom it is not really in the budget especially with one in college. Great contest especially with back to school coming up.

  98. I’d love for my family to travel more but we don’t unfortunately. All major cities are quite a distance away and with fuel being so costly, we just can’t afford it.

    We’ve been looking for fun and affordable activities in the area.

  102. Less tripping this year of course, but we just must do at least some, can’t miss the family reunion, and shorter family get-togethers.

  106. We have one big vacation each year.
    Also, We take several road trips to visit family.
    Thanks!

  107. we go on one trip every summer, and then that’s pretty much it, unless someone invites us somewhere, we pretty much stay home

  110. Just little trips for the most part this year. I think we are about done though. Maybe we have one or two weeken trips to do.

  111. We travel from Ohio to Missouri a few times in the Summer (Family), we have also traveled to Gatlinburg, TN. I’m due any day now, so in late August before school starts, we’ll head back to Missouri and a quick weekend trip to Indy with the kids. We LOVE to travel!

  112. We have a family reunion in June every year in Florida. That is about the extent of our summer traveling. We prefer to take our vacations in the fall or spring.

  113. We always try to take a vacation over the summer. This year we are flying across country from Orlando to Seattle. The plane tickets were cheaper than a road trip!!

  114. We usually do a lot of traveling in the summer, but with the economy the way it is we will be sticking close to home. Boo hoo.

  116. We don’t get to do alot of traveling in the summer because that’s when my work is so busy. We try to get away for a week in the winter whenever are budget will allow.

  117. Our family does a traditional trip to the outer banks in north carolina every summer! we save it for the end of the summer so we have something to look forward to!

  120. We still travel but are cutting down on the longer distance ones and the length of the trips.

  121. We drove to Southern California last summer to spend some time at Disneyland. With gas prices, we won’t be traveling like that this time around. We are sticking close to home this summer. Camping in local canyons will have to do.

  122. We don’t travel much during the summer but this year we are traveling to Maryland for a short trip, can’t wait!

  124. My family travels close to home several times during the summer and occassionally we take a long distance trip.

    Thanks!

  128. We do a lot of day trips but we usually only take one 4 day trip in the summer.

  129. My mom travels all summer and watches me play baseball. This would be a great way to pay her back.

  130. We just got back from Nashville. Nashville is a great convention town. The weather was fantastic.

    It’s been cold and cloudy in Alaska this summer so it was nice to get a week of “real” summer down in the lower 48.

  131. We love to go to the mountains or the beach, but we haven’t done much traveling this summer due to high gas prices and to being too busy.

  132. My family does not do much summer traveling. We are lucky to make it to the neighborhood swimming pool!
    Thanks so much!

  133. I always want to travel, but at this time in my life, we are unable to…. perhaps someday soon!

  135. We used to do a lot of traveling; this year we will be staying closer to home.

  136. Hi! We have been to our favorite beach once this summer and had planned to go on another vacation, but with gas prices and travel, groceries etc. higher this summer; that 1 trip will have to be it for us! Thanks!

  137. I wish we were able to travel more but it never seems to work out that way.

    Thank you for the contest.

  138. We always travel as much as possible, from the ocean to Disney World to Gatlinburg, TN. We love traveling and want to show the kids as much as possible.

  139. We are blessed to live by the beach but at the end of the summer will be going to Yosemite for a family camping trip. The 1st ever with 3 littles, it should be memorable!

  140. We are doing short trips, flying is too expensive! Luckily, we live in Florida and have so much to see!

  141. Yes, we are always on the go. All summer long. We take long weekend trips so we can make our vacation last longer. This year it’s Effingham IL, Springfield MO, Lincoln Nebraska, and Canaan Valley West Virginia. Thank you.

  142. Sadly I have school all summer so no vacation plans.. but you better belive the moment I graduate I am heading to disney!!

  144. We live overseas 9 months out of the year. So, we come home to the states and each summer travel every other week (it seems like) to visit family and friends. My 3 kids always need clean underwear and socks. I feel like that is something I’m always washing…especially with 3 boys!

  145. We usually take a few day trips and maybe 1 overnight trip over the summer. I would like to vacation more!

  146. We don’t travel a lot because my husband travels for a living, and when he gets home, he wants to stay put. Still we seem to go through a lot of shorts and t-shirts.

  148. Every few years we try to visit family in Tucson, AZ. during the winter. During the summer it’s of to the grandparent’s farm only 2 hours away. Talk about needing extra clothing!

  149. We don’t usually travel a lot during the summer, especially since gas prices have went up.

  151. With the gas prices so high we didn’t get to travel far from home this summer. We normally go down to Orlando to visit family two to three times during each summer break. So we travel around town to visit parks and have a picnic a couple times a week.

  154. My family does a lot of traveling nearby; and, with rising gas and airfare prices, it makes more and more sense. Perhaps we’re blessed that we live in the Pacific Northwest and have access to ocean, mountains, forest, and desert within 3 hour drive from the city.

  155. We usually go visit family in Indiana. This summer is a little different. We just got back from Orlando where my teens were in an acting and modeling competition. My son landed an audition with Nickelodeon so now it’s off to New York and my Mom still wants us to make it back to Indiana!!! WOW!

  157. We travel 650 miles from MI to NC each summer to Nana’s house, on a mountain side with a waterfall behind her house. It’s the best place in the world to the kids.

  161. We love to take little day trips with our 14 month old and we are going to the beach in seven days…he will see the ocean for the first time. can’t wait!

  166. We usually take 2-3 short trips during summer. We plan to go camping closer to fall.

  167. we use to then my wife contracted an illness
    where traveling is out of the question, me ad our daughters are hoping one day, we’ll be
    able to.

  168. We used to travel a lot with my family when I was growing up. I’d like to start sharing more travels with my daughter now that I’m a parent.

  170. The advantage of being senior citizens is the opportunity to travel during the fall and spring. About the only travel we do in the summer is to the lake to swim.

  171. I wish we did a lot of traveling! Next summer I’m hoping we can take some more day trips at least–there are a lot of great things to do around here–but we’ll see how fuel prices go.

  174. Unfortunately, my kids are the ones who have gotten to go fun places this summer. I’ve stayed home! Boo! I’d love to win this!

  175. i can’t remember the last time i traveled for fun, it’s been work, work, work all summer.

  176. Not much travel this summer. Most vacation time has been spent on doctors visits this year. Thanks for the giveaway.

  177. We try to go to Florida every year but will stay closer to home this year because of the price of gas. Thank you for the great giveaway.

  178. We don’t do too much traveling but when we do go on trips, clean fresh underwear is always first to be packed! I would love to win a Hanes gift card; it’s the only brand I use!

  180. We just moved 2 1/2 hrs away from family, so we’re doing lots of weekend trips (or a day or 2 during the week) to visit family (& wrap up loose ends where we used to live), but overall no, we tend to try to schedule our travel during the school year (we homeschool so we don’t have to worry about school schedules & stuff is less crowded).

  181. We used to travel more, but gas prices are really curtailing that. Thanks for the contest!

  183. I haven’t been able to go away in 4 years. My mom took ill and can’t travel. I am the only person who can take care of her so we make the best of time off and holiday’s here at home.

  184. Summer is short for us being in year round school. But we make the most of it with day trips and longer trips to visit family. 4 children and 2 adults means a lot of stuff. Even on day trips we bring changes because you never know!

  185. We’re going to the Lake for our family reunion next week. Luckily it’s only 50 miles away!

  186. We do travel a lot, not just in the summer!
    We love road trips and Hanes makes them super comfy,
    thanks 🙂

  188. This summer we lost our dear Papa so we have opted to stay close to home and enjoy the pool and each other.

  189. I have three boys and a husband and have never bought any socks other than Hanes. The undershirts are great too! We always take our Hanes socks to our trip to NH to Storyland/Santa’s Village as well as our trips to Funtown!

  190. Vacations are EXPENSIVE! With a family of 5, a day at the amusement park can mean taking out a loan first. We plan a few day trips over the summer. The first thing I do is scan the internet for free things to do or see in the area we would like to visit. You can’t believe how many museums, beaches, tours, even zoos that are free. Next, we pack a lunch. Bring the cooler for snacks and drinks on the way. Look for buy one get one free specials for hoagies in your area. This week we will be visiting a beach with a great shell tour. Parking is free if you know where to park! Beach admission is also free if you enter before 8 a.m. The shell tour is free, but you do need to register. We are putting some gas in the car with a free gift card obtained from a local grocery store. This was a promotion if you bought a certain number of products the store would give you a gift card. All in all, a great vacation day, without the full price of vacation. Kids will have fun with or without the big price tag! Of course, Mom and Dad will be exhausted. Also, check out the local stores in the area which you are visiting. I got a filled pinata for $2. My local shop wanted $18 for the same one. Good luck Moms and know you are not alone!

  191. Summertime is when we are off to grandma’s house at the lake. A bit of a drive but totally worth it!!

  192. We don’t travel far, we do go camping alot, but the woods are in our back yard! less then a 15 minute drive and we are ready to camp
    Lucky Us

  194. Definitely staying close to home this summer, probably lots of swimming in the pool and going to the beach!

  198. We usually take a few extended weekend trips. 2 that are educational and one waterpark or amusement park. This year its only going to be 2 small trips.We love Hanes in our house, usually an outfit or two for school, they are so comfy and fun now!

  199. We’re going to silverwood soon, can’t wait to do some traveling around idaho!

  200. We usually travel to maine this time of year but with gas prices so sky high right now we are just hanging around going swimming, to the park, bowling, just general fun kids stuff. love hanes for my kids and grandkids, always lasts longer than common brands and has been around since i was a kid.. oops.. telling my age now!!!

  201. We took our first ever family vacation in the spring. We usually stay close to home but decided to take our girls to the beach. I’m glad we did because they had a blast. We will be staying close to home for the rest of the summer.

  205. We had planned on doing some traveling this summer. We didn’t plan on gas prices being what they are- so now we take in the local scenes and make mini-vacations of it.

  207. We are spending a lot of time escaping the heat by camping in the mountains.

  208. Too broke to travel. Will stay at home doing lots of reading, including the girls

  210. we used to but with the price of gas not this year just local fishing and trips to zoo only way we will travel distance is if I win all expense paid family vacation

  212. We go camping a couple of times. I would love to do more but it’s really expensive these days.

  213. We used to but between unemployment and gas prices we wont be going far but will be enjoying a lot of camping this year

  216. Oh yeah! We are VERY lucky because we travel often. We live in Colorado so we’ve been all over the state~ it’s an amazing state! The Rocky Mountains are beautiful and there are still so many spots we haven’t explored. We have a great view of the Rockies driving up the street to our home every day.

  217. I just returned from a driving tour of my hme state(Virginia). I ave lived here all my life and still found many many places I had never visited.

  218. Every summer, we travel to Iowa (from Michigan) for my hubby’s family reunion. Even with high gas prices, it’s a trip we really look forward to.
    GLTA

  219. We used to try to plan bunch of smaller, weekend trips, but that just isn’t happening this year…

  221. We try to get away for a week every summer. This year we stayed within driving range, but still managed a week at a B&B. Very pleasant.

  222. We don’t do a lot of traveling and with gas prices we will be doing even less. Thanks for the great giveaway!

  224. We just bought our first house, so no traveling for us. Life is frugal, but it’s worth it!

  227. Hanes is one of my favorite brands for kids clothes – they offer cute, affordable, and long-lasting clothing options that wash well and that aren’t heavily branded. I’d love to win this certificate as my almost-2-year-old daughter is ready for some shirts in the next size up.

  229. I love hanes… the clothes are durable and comfortable. As for traveling, we do a lot of year round traveling, as we also like the snow. Summertime is a favorite though for camping!

  230. Before our little boy was born we traveled a ton….now…not so much. But we are going to SF next week!!! Yeah!!! Hope to meet you girls there!

  233. We have not done alot of traveling this year. But we have in the past. I always packed someextra Hanes in my carry on…. Because mom said to always be prepared and have clean underware.

  235. I love taking my kids on vacation as much as I can. We are planning a trip to yogi bear yellowstone park in ohio camping for a weekend. It is so hard to find a fun cheap vacation for kids.

  236. We usually take one 2 week vacation & 1 weekend vacation. This year we may not do a weedend trip. Thanks for the contest.

  237. No travel this summer—unless you count a move across town. Vacations don’t fit in with the purse-string-tightening we’ve been doing (along with everyone else), and this great prize would sure help! Thanks for the contest.

  240. We are going on weekend jaunts in the 2 weeks I am off to nearby places in my state. We love B & Bs, so my husband, daughter and son-in-law and grandson are going to one my husband & I found very realaxing. I work at a hospital, so it is a quiet place to take it easy, affordable and lovely.

  245. traveling is being cut short this summer due to high gas prices. underwear is very useful even with no traveling. thanks for the contest.

  251. My family doesn’t do very much, we’re all too busy! We try to take one short trip during the summer if it’s possible.

  252. Can I just say that my kids are not the only ones that wear Hanes!! I feel like I am always at Target buying Hanes socks and/or underwear for my husband too. Neither of my “boys” will wear any other brand, they especially love the tagless feature. Thanks for the giveaway.

  255. We’re just doing a couple day trips, but we’re only 20 minutes away from the beach….I’m thinking more like back to school help!

  256. We went to Colorado this summer as that is where I am from. Love it there!! We are also planning a few weekend trips to visit parents and go to Niagara Falls. Thanks for the contest!

  257. Our friends are amazed at the places we take our kids. If you think out of the box you can have great family vacations and stay on a budget. This summer we had to turn a family wedding into our summer vacation, but by renting a beach house that’s a duplex, and splitting the cost with our inlaws, we got the price down to $20 a night! Can’t beat that!

  260. We love to camp and we’re fortunate enough to live close to some beautiful mountains. We’ve already been camping once this summer, but have three more trips planned before school starts again.

  262. Love summer travel. Sightseeing and junking are my favorites things to do while traveling. My trip to Disneyland was also a wonderful thing.

  263. Usually no, but next week we are heading to Arkansas to visit my brother who moved there. I can’t wait.

  265. we have already made two 400mi trips to see grandkis this summer and plan to make more!

  267. We’re headed to beautiful Smith Mountain Lake, VA this weekend! This trip plus a week at Grandma’s makes for LOTS of extra clothes!

  269. This is the my husbands and mines first summer together as a married couple with a little one. We are hoping to be able to get out and explore, maybe do some camping, or head up into the mountains.

  272. This is awesome!
    We actually do a decent amount of traveling…usually road trips. It’s fun to go on family adventures! =)

  274. Spend equal time in Florida and Michigan, enjoying the pleasures of both states.

  277. Your site is one of the few I have bookmarked. Thanks for your hard work in brining new and interesting content!

  278. We live just a couple hours from Chicago so we visit there several times a year. And we’ll go camping later in the summer. We also take day trips to Lake Michigan. Staying closer to home this year because of the high gas prices.

  281. Family is just the two of us and we don’t travel anymore. I could certainly use the Hanes GC!

  282. USED TO DO ALL THE NATIONAL PARKS BUT SON IS GROWN SO WE STAY HOME WITH THE CATS

  286. We like to do one cruise every summer pretty much. Its hard scheduling but its a great time every time we go!

  288. Not traveling much because of the higher gas prices, and cost of food going up. Need to save money as much as we can.Enjoy your summer with just the family!

  289. Summer is not our time for vacationing. We like autumn and winter trips since we live in the deep south.

  292. Some new socks for the family would be great! Thanks for hosting the giveaway!

  293. We like to camp a lot in the summer, so of course we have lots of dirty clothes! We love Hanes’ shorts, t-shirts and socks since they’re comfortable, light-weight, and easy to pack. I’d really love to win the contest to replenish our Hanes supply!

  294. Because of the cost of traveling, we’re “camping” in our backyard a lot. That certainly adds to the rate at which my kids can get dirty! Would be thrilled to win one of these gift cards. Thanks for the opportunity!

  295. During the summer we spend alot of time at amusement parks in California!

  297. We aren’t doing much traveling this summer, because of gas prices, but we’re going camping close to home several times. It’s still nice to get away, even if “away” isn’t that far from our house!

  299. We bought a camper recently, so I hope to hit some good campgrounds this summer (preferably near a beach or body of water!LOL!) Although, with the price of gas steadily climbing, we won’t be going as much a we’d like to!

  300. Just one camping trip this summer. Can you ever have enough socks or underwear?

  301. We often do “staycations” at the local lake with the tent and the popup camper, but this summer I had surgery, so we aren’t going anywhere. Nice contest though.

  302. Wow! Lots of Hanes lovers out there LOL. I would use this to buy my husband and daughter new socks and undies 🙂 Don’t tell him I mentioned his undies on the internet.

  303. We would make good use of these. With a house full of boys, this prize would go a long way. These guys burn through socks, undies and t-shirts like wildfire would. Maybe help is on the way.

  304. Well, my choice is either take a vacation and just not eat for a mo., or stay home and save the money to buy food. LOL

  305. Two of our grandsons live with us and one of them left today for Boy Scout camp. The other leaves next week. LOL….we’re trying to fit vacation in!

  306. We do several mini trips during the summer. We love camping and hiking. Some of the hiking destinations do not even have laundry facilities. This way we do have to pack extra (because something always happens and you are short at least one outfit).

  307. Thanks for this giveaway. I could use one of these gift certificates for the children in my charity group.

  309. I’d love to travel more. Do you think Angelina or John Travolta would take me on a trip or two in her private jet?

  310. Took a trip to Disney World on Memorial Day, the next weekend we went to the beach, and at the end of June we had the girls anual camping trip. Boy am I tired of the laundry.

  313. We do one week-long vacation each summer, then usually one or two weekend trips to see grandparents but this year we have a little one so not too many trips!

  315. Would love to win this. I buy a lot of clothes for my 3 and 6 year old grandsons to help out their family expense. Love Hames- comfortable clothing

  316. I love Hanes – you can count on excellent quality in all their products!

  318. Our family doesn’t do a lot of summer traveling. We travel somewhere once in the summer that’s far from home, then we’ll do a few smaller trips closer to home.

  321. I’m travelling all the way to a lounge chair on the deck and back again. As long as I’m in the shade with a good book I can wait through this gas thing.

  324. Unfortunately we haven’t been able to travel a lot in recent years because my dh has been in med school. However, this year we were able to take a much needed, month-long trip back to the US to see our families. It was wonderful!!

  327. My husband is giving me a surprise trip for my birthday! I’ve been given clues for the past month – I know I’ll need new clothes!

  330. Oh, I would love to win this one. We don’t need new clothes for vacation (we can’t afford to take one), but the kids have recently outgrown a good deal of their stuff, so this could be very useful.

  332. Thanks for the great giveaway. We aren’t doing any major trips this summer….we are saving for Disney next year, but we do have season passes to our local Six Flags which is only an hour away, so we do lots of day trips with the little ones.

  333. We vacation a lot and enjoy the precious family time. As our family has grown we learn to cherish the moments. We went to Hawaii last summer, not too much clothing needed! This summer we are going to Boston and San Francisco. Nothing says I love you more than clean clothes! We try to pack basics that will color coordinate so we have options to choose from each day. It also helps when several kids wear the same size! Gotta love Hanes when you are travelling!

  334. Not to much traveling this summer since I just had back surgery last week.

  337. Our 2 year old will be throwing a lot of rocks in the rivers and lakes this summer. He’s also helping in the garden and logging many miles in his bike trailer! But all this play/work makes him dirty and I love putting a clean white tee or tank top on him after his evening bath.

  338. Not traveling much this summer. Gas prices are over the top. Visiting family in nearby state. Also visiting state parks and attractions we haven’t been to before.

  339. We normally take one vacation but this year with gas prices, we’re staying home.

  340. Not so much traveling, we try to stay in our local area and enjoy the local scene.

  341. We don’t do a lot of summer travel usually. This summer, my mother-in-law in another state is very ill with cancer so we’ve been traveling to see her.

  345. We don’t have any big trips planned this summer unfortunately. I think it’s important to take a family trip every year and spent time together and make memories. Financially we can’t do it this year so we are doing a couple of fun day trips. We have taken a trip to the zoo and we have a trip to Muir Woods planned as well as the beach. Next year we’ll do Disneyland.

  347. Summers are delightful where we live, so we don’t travel much, we leave our traveling plans for winter, when it is oh so very cold!

  348. we usually will visit family in michigan or go to the beach during the summer months

  356. I could do a bit of traveling, but need to keep the money around for house renovations which are many.

  357. My husband travels so much for work that we probably won’t go far away this year but we did squeeze in a trip to visit a friend of mine I hadn’t seen in beaucoup years! Thanks for the giveaway!

  358. We’ve already gone camping 2 times and leaving the 17th to go to Arkansas..We are taking our 6yr old grandbuddy..wish us luck..

  359. I’m likein’ the Hanes.
    We actually hitched up the Scion XB and drove to South Carolina last month. Got almost 40mpg, much to our amazement.

  362. Unfortunately with gas prices, we won’t be traveling this summer. We usually go to the beach alot in the summer since it is only 30 miles away but we just can’t afford it this year. Thanks for your giveaway!

  364. We just came back from a trip to San Francisco (and I wore my hanes lol). We leave for a short trip to Anaheim in August for the Angel / Yankee game.

  365. We usually do travel a lot, not as much this summer. But I am taking the kids to see The Wiggles in Dallas in August.

  366. Yes, normally we do, but this year with the high cost of gas we are only taking one summer trip and very few day trips. We live in Upstate NY and in August my husband and I are driving with your 3 children to Cape Cod! My husband and I both love, love, love the Cape and when we were engaged we used to vacation there all the time. So, we are bringing our kids there for the first time! We stay in Welfleet in a small cottage right along the National Coastline there. It is beautiful and will be worth the 7 hour drive and cost of the gas!! My youngest is only 4 months old so that is going to be a first for me, travelling with my baby! But, we had an opportunity to rent this cottage when another family cancelled on it, and we jumped at the opportunity! Normally the cottages along the coast are sold out 2-3 years in advance! But, back to school shopping will begin for my 2 older kids and this Hanes gift certificate would be great to use towards some new clothes for the kids! Hanes are always quality products that can stand the test of time! Thank you for offering this great giveaway from Hanes!

  367. Use to, would like to, but staying home with the gas and economy. Fun is wherever you want it to be,and this summer it is just great at home.

  368. Oh definitely…sign me up…3 kids, and we always have a midsummer growth spurt of at least two of them…this would help a lot!!!

  370. Oh, boy, we always need underwear.

    No big trips this year, but some day trips are planned. One to a kangaroo petting zoo!

  372. My kids go through so many clothes in a day. Some extra inexpensive basics would be great!

  373. We probably won’t be traveling very far from our home with the gas prices, maybe a trip to Myrtle Beach for the water park. I’ve got three little boys (two of them are twins) and they are especially rough on their underwear! Hanes are the best, this is a great giveaway. Thanks for the chance to win!

  374. Not doing much traveling. Work two jobs and can’t afford the cost of gas or anythng else. I love to travel though!!!

  375. We do a couple trips each summer mainly to see family. We are in Virginia Beach but my family is out west and my husband’s family is in Pittsburgh. Hanes underwear are the best – so durable and cute patterns for my 9 and 5 year old girls!

  377. We just got home from camping at our favorite campsite. It’s tucked away in the Montana mountains.
    I love HANES!

  378. We are going on a big vacation in August out West. I started a countdown calendar where you rip off a day until vacation. My two are so excited (7 & 3).Can’t wait!

  379. My 3 boys love to travel with my husband and I. We pile up in the conversion van and hit the highway. Last summer we drove from Texas to California to Vegas. We stayed 2 extra days because the kids weren’t ready to leave. We love to travel.

  382. Just heading up to the North Shore of Minnesota. Can never get enough of the North Shore

  386. We are going to go the adjoining state and watch a pre-season football game in August, just a short little vacation but I’m looking forward to it.

  387. I love all of hanes products. Our summer shopping included Hanes sox, underware and T-shirts for all 3 of us.

  388. This is the first year our family of 7 has taken a family vacation! We went to daytona beach, florida and had a wonderful time!!

  394. We will probably visit Grandma’s house in August. And we can always use more socks around here!

  395. We ususally go away in May and do alot of weekend trips in the summer but with the price of gas this year they have been cancelled and we’re spending time in the backyard with our neighbors instead.

  397. We used to … but kids are all grown now. Which is probably a good thing, because WHO can afford to travel ANYWHERE these days??

  399. We plan one major summer trip out of state or country and several small local trips within Florida. We can always use socks and undies;)

  400. We spent spring break in Florida so we will only be taking shorter trips this summer…the zoo, Lake Michigan, my family’s cabin.

    I’d love to win the gift certificate!

  404. Won’t be going anywhere this summer with the price of gas what it is. My traveling will be back and forth to work…lol. Would still like to win this great prize though.

  406. Oh yes….the tv program “Passport to Europe” where I travel vicariously! HA!
    No, we really just drive 21/2 hours monthly to visit my daughter and granddaughters. They live near Sesame Place, so it’s fun to watch the girls enjoying themselves there, and at the local pool. Family is what it’s all about…it doesn’t matter where you are, as long as you’re together.

  411. I wish I did lots of summer traveling. However, it just never happens. I’d even be happy with a long weekend getaway.

  413. I hate Summer travel, all the whining and complaining….and the kids aren’t too happy either!
    LOL!

  414. I love Hanes especially with no tags and the Wedgie Free undies. I would use the $50 on new underwear!

  415. We are spending a lot of time at the pool this summer and extra t-shirts and shorts would be really useful!

  416. We are going to Phoenix for the 4th of July and going to Idaho to camp at the end of July. Great giveaway! Thanks for offering this!

  417. we travel to canada every summer to visit my family there, thanks for the contest

  418. We travel around the state going to festivals, shopping and camping. Lots of thing to do and see. There are so many craft shops to explore.

  419. We’re never near a washing machine when we travel, and extra clean cotton clothes in the suitcase are a must!

  420. We will be traveling in September to spend a week in a free timeshare….free lodging should help balance out the high gas prices!

  421. We don’t travel a lot for a few different reasons, but we do try to do lots of activities in our area like visiting museums, parks, tourist spots, festivals, etc. throughout the year.

  426. One trip about an hour away to Cedar Point is all we do in the summer..no time/no gas!

  432. we don’t do too much traveling since, but we live in NYC and our 2 1/2 year old twins get pretty dirty just running around the park!

  435. We’re not taking any big trips this summer – instead we’re having a baby in a few weeks! But I’m sure we’ll be doing lots of family travelling before too long.

  438. At 4.00 a gallon for gas there isn’t going to be much traveling for us! My hubby and I won’t fly, so we try to do things close in our area. I love hanes and sure would appreciate this prize!

  443. We love to travel, but are trying to save money this year. We will travel to places in our own city we never go to!

  444. We usually travel more, but I just went back to work after being off for maternity leave, so we can’t really go much (no vacation time!)

  445. With the price of gas we take short camping trips to the local tri-state area.

  447. Each summer, we usually rent a beachhouse in Lincoln City, OR for a week and “live” at the beach!!

  449. Just got back from two weeks in California. Yosemite, Lk Tahoe, San Francisco. My kids had never been that far west. We had great fun, but it is always good to get home, just like Dorothy found out when she left Kansas!

  453. I have 3 boys and will be staying close to home this summer! We can always use more Hanes in our house!! Thanks!

  455. we are hanging at home this summer – short trips to see family. this would be a great things for two boys!!

  458. My husband has a family cottage, as does my family – both are VERY rustic, neither has washing machines! Lots of clothes are a necessary evil!

    🙂

  461. Oh, forgot to answer the question. Duh. We have travelled to KS a couple of times (from OR) to visit family, but not this year as we have a newborn. We are planning a trip to the beach camping, should be an interesting adventure…

  463. We usually go to my dad’s every summer but I don’t know if I can afford it this summer.

  465. I’d love to do more traveling, but we can’t with gas prices so high…we have to cut back. Oh well. Thanks for the giveaway!

  474. Hanes has great clothing. My family does not do a lot of summer traveling because we have a large family and it would cost way too much. However, we keep our schedule busy with local activities.

  475. Usually we would do more, but gas is so high, we can’t afford to! We are going on a little trip next month, though, and I can’t wait!

  479. We head up to the Sierra Nevadas every year to retreat to my husband’s family cabin. The smell of pine, the pristine lake, the hiking, the bears…what could be better? Great giveaway…with all of that sap and mountain dirt, we always come home with sticky dirty yucky socks.

  480. For the last few years we have taken a lot of quick road trips, making our travels no further than one or two states away. We are so enjoying our travels and discovering things fairly local that we didnt know about.

  481. We don’t really travel much during the summer. Haven’t at all the last few years with the rising gas prices!

  482. We leave for a massive roadtrip from Texas to Colorado on Monday. Can’t wait!

  483. We have a camper trailer and we travel all over Minnesota. The kids are 4 and 5 now and they just love it. Thanks for the great contest!

  485. Not now that we are grandparents and gas prices are soooooooo very high. Staying home this summer

  488. I love hanes and I love to travel, but I know what you mean by when it comes to September. It’s time for a break!!!

  489. we don’t do alot of traveling but if florida we can’t do without some cotton tees and shorts to help keep us cool at home or on the beach.
    great giveaway!

  490. We’ll stay close to home and visit the local zoo and amusement/water park. I’d love to win the shopping trip from Hanes. TY!

  492. I love Hanes products and would love to fill my drawers with new socks, undershirts, and underwear. Thanks for the great giveaway:)

  493. whenever I am planning a trip I always have to pack tons of extra clothes for my daughter and the easiest things are always tshirts and socks and comfy pants and shorts 🙂

  495. We have a couple camping trips planned-one is to the Fireman’s Memorial to see my husband’s grandfather’s name, who was just added to it this year.

  496. Our family makes the 6 hour trek to Oak Island, NC every year. Not a fun trip with all the beach traffic but well worth the effort for all the peace and quiet you find on the island.

  498. All three of my kids will be headed off to camp this year and they all need comfy clothes, so this would be perfect.

  499. We do alot of camping and fishing. Please enter me, thank you
    I could really use the gift card, I need a new bra.

  500. We like to have more of a “staycation” at home. It’s relaxing sometimes to do that instead of dragging everyone out for a trip (though trips are fun too!)

  502. I just finished an LPN program and started a new job, so I doubt that there will be much vacationing for us this summer. I could use some new tees and undies for under my new uniforms!

  506. Not this year, we aren’t doing much traveling. We have a bunch of projects here at home to take care of and the gas prices are horrible! Maybe next year!

  508. I am in need of some new socks, all of mine have turned pink from my red shoes!

  510. We live in West Michigan, really close to Lake Michigan so we make a lot of day trips to the beach. With gas prices the way they are we will be staying close to home for sure.

  513. Living on the California Coast, we are already there as far as Summer Vacations go. We do go to the mountains every spring, and somewhere in the southwest desert every fall. Great contest, Thanks!

  518. We are fortunate enough to live near Cape Cod…so that’s where we travel…
    And we LOVE Hanes…
    THANKS

  519. We usually take one big two week summer trip but this year we are staying home because of rising costs.

  520. We are going on a few weekend camping trips. It’s a lot more budget friendly and we don’t get burnt out.

  521. We take several day and weekend trips but this summer are going to St. Thomas. Thank you!

  523. We make a lot of short car trips. We live in Texas so theres lots of places to go without leaving the state. We went to the beach a few weeks ago, and will go again in a few weeks. My husband and I also might take a trip (on the plane though) to Acapulco later this summer-hopefully. Great giveaway, thanks!

  530. I love Hanes for both our kids and for ourselves. $50 would buy my husband a lot of tighty whities!

    We’re hopefully making another trip to the zoo this summer.

  531. No travel plans set in stone yet maybe the zoo or a water park!! Hopefully we won’t run out of time!! We would love to get some new hanes!!

  532. We haven’t been on a trip for a couple of years, but we’re heading to Maine for a week in July. Looking forward to it!

  533. Wherever we go this summer it wont be too far from home. We can not afford the gas. Luckily I live in Souther California. Everything is close by. We will be going out to the beach a few times and the lakes. No over night trips planned till Sept, when we are all going to Hawaii, first time, it will be great.

  536. Not as much as we’d like, money has been tight lately. Maybe next year we’ll travel more! Thank you for such a great giveaway!

  544. We like to do lots of day trips within abt a 250 mile radious. That way we can be in control by taking food most of the time and we get the added bonus of knowing what the weather is going to be – if we get up and its going to rain we can either pick another direction and destinantion or just plan it for another day.

  546. we tried to travel to nebraska but were stopped by the flood, we will try to go somewhere else soon, not sure where… maybe Disney if we win!!!

  548. My family is just doing small trips this year. Will probably go to the field days or the county fair. Thanks for the great giveaway!

  549. Our travel will be to the backyard pool this year.
    Lots of barbque this summer.

  550. We do a lot of local beaches and attractions during the summer and do most of our travelling during the winter.

  551. I love Hanes products. We’re going to the beach next month, and to Grandma for the 4th of July.

  552. I never realize how much cute clothes hanes has…who knew they had more than socks, undies, and undershirts! Love it!

  554. not much summer traveling here. A few trips to visit grandparents and cousins.

  555. Hello! This is one fantastic prize giveaway. I can’t keep our two sons in enough socks and under clothing!
    Please enter my name in your drawing. I appreciate it!
    Thanks very much…..Cindi

  556. Three weekend plane trips plus a week at the beach, and a 2.5 year old and an infant = LOTS of packing!

  557. would love to win…unfortunatly we aren’t doing a lot of traveling this summer with the cost of gas continually rising.

  558. We just got back from Montana, then my family’s coming to visit us from Chicago, then my husband’s going to Seattle for a wedding – busy summer!

  559. We’re going camping to Timothy Lake at the end of July and then finally after 2 years, we’re going back home for 3 weeks to Belgium and England! Let’s hope the flight with 3 kids will be comfortable!
    Thanks for the great giveaway! We love Hanes!

  563. We usually go places in New England during the summer. We save our big vacation to Orlando, FL for January.

  566. We’re just doing day trips since we don’t have the $$$ for a huge vacation and we have a dog and we can’t leave him home alone too long or he’ll chew up the place.

    This gift certificate would come in handy. There are a few things I really need to get.

    Thanks for the great prize offering.

  569. Since my kids refused to wear flip – flops (“Mooooommmm – they hurt my tooooooessss!”) they wear their Hanes sox indoors, outdoors, on the beach – EVERYWHERE! Would love to win a new supply for back to school!

  572. I’d like to travel more in the summer, but we can’t really afford it right now.

  573. My husband just started a new job so we won’t get to go anywhere this summer at all. We might go down the road to six flags though!

  576. Not much traveling here.
    I love this prize.
    Enter me please & thank you for having this contest!

  577. we be poor people, we dont go anywhere
    or do anything in the summertime.

    thanks for the opportunity to win the hanes GC,
    we love hanes at our house!

  581. We try to do day trips to different places like going to Cedar Point or the zoo and we love to visit the amish country and sometimes we will stay overnite in the bed & breakfasts that are located in Amish country, but with gas prices so high we may not do as many family trips this summer.
    Thank you for the contest

  582. Just got back from North Shore resort in Hawaii. Taking family to Colo in Aug for 3 day weekend.

  584. With gas prices at this level, no, not much traveling. The half-mile trip to Wal-Mart now feels like a splurge.

  585. Lots of traveling ahead. Two far away family reunions, two road trips to visit grandchildren, at least one trip to the city and an extremely long trip to a resort area! WOW!

  588. I traveled so much before my retirement that I am pretty happy to just stay home now.

  589. Nothing major this summer, but grandkids will staying for a few days,,longer I hope
    Thanks for the contest

  590. Usually the only traveling in the summer is to the beach. But that’s been out this summer since I’ve spent it all so far very pregnant.

  591. Thank you for sponsoring the giveaway. We’re not traveling anywhere this summer. It’s not only gas prices that are exorbitant, but everything else, too. The politicians – both parties – are missing the boat here. Somebody, somewhere, could do something! Yet all we see is blame and shrugs and everybody is leaving DC for the holiday. Please remember this when you vote. And please vote. It is so very important this year, every year, every election.

  592. We take one week-long camping trip every summer, and that’s enough for me! 🙂 Thanks for the contest!

  594. Due to the price and gas and the financial crisis- we can no longer travel:( But we used to go and visit family up North.

  596. This year we will be traveling less due to the gas situation. However we will take out annual trip to the beach – and we can’t wait!

  599. We use to travel to the lake and the beach a lot, but with the gas prices this year we will be staying home all summer.

  600. We travel about twice in the summer. but usually only weekend trips. Thank you!

  603. We usually take a few trips to beach, but with the price of gas, I don’t know about this year.

  605. Our summer is so busy we went to Myrlte Beach the week after school let out, on the way home we stopped to see my brother in law and went to the North Carolina Zoo! Next week we are going to the Erie Zoo! For the 4th of July we are going on a camping trip to Watkins Glenn, New York. In the middle of July my daughter is going to a Cyber day camp in Phili, PA and we will go to the Zoo while we are there too! After we come home for a week we are going to a girl scout camp in Pittsburgh, PA for a week. In Aug. we are going to the Craford county fair to see Vannessa Hutchins and Corbin Blue after that we will be going to Erie and go to Waldemer water and ride park. Then for September we will be going to Knobeles amusement park for a weekend! Then it’s back to school.
    Gas prices have not stopped us this summer I figure they are only going to be higher next summer and then I will not be able to go as much!

  606. Fortunately/unfortunately? our travelling is now behind us because of handicap situations. But we sure did plenty a few years ago and have lots of pleasant memories.

  608. We try to take one mini vacation each summer, but mostly we stay home and enjoy our pool.

    Thanks for the giveaway!

  609. Im going on a trip on AmTRAK. I dont know where just yet. Im still checking out places to go . THANKS

  610. We love to drive down to the river to fish. But we can’t go as often as we would like due to the price of gas.

  611. normally we travel a lot, but this year we are making just a few trips for longer, because of gas prices.

  613. We don’t travel much at all during the summer, just locally, maybe to the lake. It’s just too expensive anymore! Thanks for the contest!

  614. Please enter me! I think that Hanes clothes are very durable for dd. We’ll be going on a cruise this summer, plus lots of short weekend excursions.

  615. I’ve already been to the beach. Four of us split the cost of gas, so it wasn’t too bad for any of us. Thanks for the chance to win.

  618. We take two trips one to the beach and one to the mountains during the summer and fall.

  622. We travel once a year to my grandchildrens race in Oklahoma. thanks for this great contest

  623. Lots of trips to Nana and Papa’s and one big trip to Walt Disney World in August for 8 days at the Saratoga Springs resort 🙂 yay!

  624. Wisconsin to Colorado Springs for son’s retirement party. Wisconsin to Phoenix for business conference and next month to Colorado to return grandchild. Yikes! I ususally don’t travel that much in 2 years.

  626. We always go somewhere that has to with the great outdoors. I am lucky to live near so many lakes.

  630. We are only going on a short weekend trip this year not too far from home. Can’t afford those gas prices!

  632. We only have short trips planned for this summer, come Fall we will go for a few longer camping trips.

  634. Hanes is having a contest. this is great.
    When we travel, it is less than 10 miles away.

  635. No plans for any trips that require a lot of driving. Gas prices are just to high right now.

  640. i really use hanes her way, even if they look like old lady underware….they’re comfortable and i’m all for me now

  642. It’s just my husband and me (or is it I?). Two old retired folks (not that old). I’ll say on the edge of old. Anyway, being on a fixed income and the price of gasoline it doesn’t look like we will be going very far. But that’s okay. After 35 years of marriage we are very happy with each others company and besides with all the aches and pains that come with retirement sometimes you just want to stay home.

  643. We haven’t done much traveling at all, but plan to do a few trips later this summer.

  645. my brothers need undershirts and they love hanes! we really havent traveled as a family in a while

  647. We dont really do much travelling especially now with the cost of gas!! I’d love to win this to pick up some essentials for the new baby coming and my daughter!

  651. We live at the beach so we don’t have far to go for summer enjoyment. Thanks for this great giveaway.

  652. If I win, I am going to buy 25$ worth of socks! Kids have no socks. Where do they go? It’s not into the washing machine because they lose them by the end of the day. Maybe I need a finacial deposit for each pair of socks they put on in the morning.

  653. My kids are NOT good with road trips (3 and 8 months). Needless to say we “Vacation” no further away than an hour in any given direction. There is just something about a screaming kid in the car that makes it NOT fun 🙁 But on the bright side, we have many fun things planned like going to the zoo, the Lake and picnics in the park as well as some local museum visits and I’m so excited about those!
    Long term goal….Disney 2010..can’t wait and we are FLYING!!..that is if airports can still afford fuel by then?!?

  654. We usually don’t travel too far from home,but we always try to take at least one camping trip every summer.Great contest!

  655. We usually do a few trips during the summer, but with gas prices this year we are not traveling too far from home. I’m with you, cannot put dirty clothes on my son!

  656. we are going to colonial williamsburg in 2 weeks and planning on packing hanes tshirts and socks…

  657. We don’t travel much. When you live in San Diego, why would you want to leave?

  659. We aren’t taking any summer trips this year. Gas prices are too high!! Thanks for the contest!

  666. We don’t do a lot of summer traveling because that’s my husband’s busy time at work due to tourism. We try to make a couple of day trips or a weekend trip. We have a trip scheduled to NYC in the fall though!

  667. Yes, we just went to So.Cal.(disney,seaworld), next week we are driving up to Lake Powell in Ut/AZ. for a week and a couple of weeks after that we are driving up to Palm Springs for a week. We love to Go, Go, Go!

  669. No vacation this year…..High gas prices. Were staying home and eating beans.

  670. I would love to win this ’cause they have the best underware and this is where to buy it.Thanks.

  672. we will be going to Wisconsin Dells WI this Summer, we love it there, but it will be weird with Lake Delton gone 🙁

  674. We took our trip to NYC last week…fun fun fun!! Going again in September!

  678. We don’t travel much since we moved to Florida about 4 1/2 years ago – we mostly play close to home. We do have one little trip planned for August – just for two nights, but it’s a trip to LA that I won in a contest, so we’re really looking forward to it. Neither of us have ever been, so it will be a new experience.

  679. We haven’t traveled much this summer because of high gas prices! But yes, we like to go to the beach.

  681. Ugh. With gas prices the way they are we are making our yearly trip to see my parents and that is just about it. Normally, we’d have some sort of day trips etc planned, but not this year!

  684. We’re headed to Boy Scout camp next month. Dad, Mom and our son…we get to go since we’re troop leaders. Yeah!! It does mean a lot of dirty laundry though. Thanks for giveaway.

  685. Well we do quite alot of vacationing during the summer to visit family and friends as we love spending time with them so this would be really great to win as I have 3 children and they go through socks and undies quite fast lol thanks so much for the contest.

  686. We have one summer trip planned to go to the shore. Other than that, we plan on going on a few days trips and basically enjoying our home this summer.

  687. We won’t be able to be doing any traveling this year, money is way too tight and my husband just started a new job. But the GC would be a great prize.

  688. We are taking a trip to the coast this summer, can’t wait as I love the ocean.

  689. this summer with gas prices at record highs we are traveling a lot. we will be driving from georgia to virginia to spend time with my parents. then later this summer we will be flying to new york to see niagra falls. normally we don’t travel as much but this summer is pretty amazing

  691. When my son was home (grown up now) we went to the beach every summer. Loved it. Now we go when school is in session. Most recent trip was to the Grand Canyon.

  694. This is a fabulous giveaway! I want this one! My hubby and I are both teachers, so summer is the main time for us to do anything….we go away a lot during the summer.

  696. Well, not really. We used to, but have been unable to afford trips the past few years.

  698. We will be heading to my grandparents cabin for a10 day – NO WASHING MACHINE! With a potty training girl and a 5 year old boy – extra undies would be great!

  700. We don’t get to take too many summer vacations, but one of these days we’ll get it together and then my first choice will be the beach!

  701. I have just discovered that Hanes has the most comfy no line panties ever. (this from a “I’d never wear anything but a thong” girl lol)

  705. We could always use this sort of thing at our house. We hvae no travel plans, just back and forth to family which is about and hour drive one way. Thanks for this opportunity.

  706. With gas so high we will stay close to home this summer. We may take a few daytrips in and around Ohio, but no plans yet.

  708. our family does a lot of day trips during the summer….that way every one can pick some where to go!!!

  709. We usually have no trips planned for summer. Its usually to hetic with husband at work and kids in summer school. Our trips are usually in the fall.
    Thanks! Hope I win!

  712. We moved 800 miles away from our grandkids. We do a lot of driving every season of the year since we go ‘home’ at least four times a year. Our next trip is next week.

  716. We don’t travel much and with gas as high as it is.guess we won’t be going far this year.But I do love Hanes and would love to win.Thanks!

  718. I would love to win this, it sure would come in handy! Thanks for a great opportunity!

  720. We usually travel for two weeks in the summer but this year were staying closer to home and will spend it camping at a state park instead.

    Thank you for the great giveaway!

    fluegas5(at)gmail(dot)com

  721. This summer, we didn’t think we’d be able to travel at all- my husband started a full time four year graduate program and I stay at home with our kids. To our delight, my in laws invited us to the beach with them (at no cost to us!). Great in laws are a blessing! Thanks for the give away- we love Hanes!!

  723. We camp ALOT! Its our favorite summer family activity. But, we get so dirty! Its a pack a socks a trip. I could certainly use this win!

  724. Great contest. My son is just about ready (at least I hope he is) to start potty training. So we could certainly use lots of Hanes big boy underwear!

  730. I hope to as my son gets older, right now its a little hard to plan big family vacations.

  731. I have family coming to visit & I plan on taking them to Dallas, Austin & San Antonio this summer.

  732. We just moved to our new house so our budget is stretched as far as it will go! We plan on taking some day trips though.

  734. We just came back from a trip but we will probably stay home for the rest of the year except for day trips. It is hard to know where gas and food prices are going to go. Please enter me in the giveaway.

  735. We might be taking a trip this summer. Depends on hubby’s work and the price of gas. Hopefull so but if not a couple day trips will do. Thanks.

  737. This year’s schedule has us traveling out of state at least once a month with our little one…plus some shorter trips in state, too. I can’t imagine more packing.

  739. We can always use Hanes stuff! We’re gearing up for an 8 hour road trip to St. Louis this summer. Should be fun!

  743. Unfortunately there is no summer traveling for our family. My husband works all day and we don’t really ever have the budget to fit into any type of scedule. Would love to win your giveaway though…we could always (all of us) use some new undergarments (LOL)…seriously though, I’d love to win!!!

  744. Almost every weekend we go camping at a lake about 20 miles from our home. Our whole family just has a ton of fun. We make take a trip at the end of summer to see 83 year old grandma. We could really use this the kids are outgrowing everything

  745. My in-laws live about 3 hours away and live right near Lake Michigan. We love spending as much time up there during the summer as possible. Last summer we spent over a month total up there. Lots of packing and unpacking.

  746. Travel? I think we’re going to be gone more than home this summer… it’s wearing me out just thinking about it! And a worse summer for gas prices I couldn’t have picked. Ugh.

  748. It’s too hot to go anywhere during the summer so my family travel during the winter.

  750. We normally do a lot of traveling,but this summer we’ll be doing a little less thanks to the crazy-awful gas prices! So instead we’ll do more local traveling to lakes, family houses, etc. Thanks for the opportunity! 🙂

  753. We don’t travel at all unfortunately. Can’t afford it. Traveling may consist of a trip to the coast which is an hour drive or to Bend, OR which is a two hour drive. Since gas prices are way high, noone’s going anywhere this year.

  757. We may get away for a couple of weekends but are able to make a lot of great day trips to the beach, mountains and a lot of other fun spots.

  759. With three kids, my mom could really use this. Camping trips this summer would go a lot smoother. Thanks!

  760. I love Hanes! Grandkids are staying with us while parents work/travel. I’d let them pick out some items from Hanes.

  764. We usually go to Florida each year. But I went back to school and I am not currently working, so our travels wont happen this year..

  766. We usually do one big trip and a couple of mini-trips throughout the summer. Hanes makes such good staples to a wardrobe – all my son’s socks say “Hanes” on them!

  767. We normally plan one big trip, in the mid to late summer and do many day trips over the course of 3 months.

    This summer though, we will stay home since we are expecting our 3rd child in early August.

  768. Sadly (and not so sadly), no, not at this point. My boys are 3 so it is easier to stay home. We do lots of day activities but always try to get home for afternoon nap. Summer does bring the local evenings in the park (with music/picnics, etc.) so that breaks up the normal routine as well. I’m guessing we will start planning more “real” excursions next summer when the boys are fully potty trained and also have transitioned to beds.

  769. I officiate Bike Race from June to August I will be traveling 9 of the 13 weekends during the summer, I try to take my family with me to as many as I can and we take either the Friday before or the MOnday after and see something in the area of the race. We have had a GREAT time as a family visiting lots of places we would never have gone to. We enjoy this time together.

  774. We already took our family vacation to California this summer, but you know we could always use this! 🙂

  775. Hubby and I spend a lot of time with the boys camping and at the beach this time of year. We’re also in the middle of planning a trip for all four of us to Kings Island.

  776. Vacation? What’s that? No really, we do not do much summer travelling between hubby’s work hours and the cost of gas, we just can’t do more than a few day trips here and there.

  778. We love to camp, we take about 5 or 6 camping trips a summer, and then we always do a Summer Vacation to somewhere depends on the deals we can find.

  779. No extended travels like we did before the kids–it’s just to the grandmas’ houses for us this summer!

  780. I love to travel but this summer with the price of gas and owning a new home that needs some work there will not be a lot of travelling done – doing more in-town stuff to have fun.

  781. We love to travel. Tomorrow we are going to the Outer Banks. Unfortunately, witht hte price of gas so high, we will not be taking anymore trips this summer.

  786. We don’t usually travel during the summer..we save up so we can go home for Christmas

  787. We don’t travel all that often, but we do make a point of doing a lot of outdoor activities during the summer.

  788. With the price of gas these days, I can barely afford to drive to the grocery store 3 blocks away. So, no, we won’t be doing ANY summer travelling this year. Just like most folks, I suppose.

  789. I would love to win this contest. My children are grown, but I would be able to use this and buy new things for children on the reservation as part of my charity donations. Most of these children have never had new clothing.

  790. Love Hanes, but gas is to high to travel far. We have a small lake about 5 miles from here with a large campgrounds. We will take the travel trailor there for a week-in when we are off. Our vacation time is in June when state JR Rodeo Finals take place in Montgomery, AL. about 90 miles from here.

  791. I’ll be heading to see family on the other side of the U.S. – flying by myself there with a 5-1/2 year old, 2 year old & 2 month old! Thank goodness my husband will meet us there later and fly home with all of us 🙂 — Thanks for entering me in the contest!

  794. I would love to do more traveling than we do. Unfortunately, time does not permit.

  797. We will probably just take a short visit to the Jersey shore this summer. But I could always use new socks for the kids. They go through socks so quickly with all the sports they are into.

  799. We are planning small trips close to home this summer. Now that baseball season is over. We have not been to disney and that is a dream trip for us.

  800. Just found your blog…love it!

    Almost every summer we go to the cottage my husband’s family has vacationed at every year of his life. It’s in southern Wisconsin, on a lake, so we’ll spend a few days there and then take our guys to the Dells for a few days, too.

    Thanks for the contest!

  805. We do like to travel! This year we will be going to Disney Land! We went to Disney World last year.

  808. We don’t do alot of summer traveling. With a close family of 9 people it gets a little expensive with gas + food. We used to camp alot, but now we’re just content to “play” at home together 🙂

    I would love to win a GC for Hanes!

  810. No we do not do a lot of car traveling. We prefer to ride our bikes and walk a lot. thank you for the contest.

  812. Please allow me to spend this on my five year old niece. Her mother doesn’t have much money to buy her things

  814. We usually do 2 or 3 road trips during the summer, either to visit friends and relatives or to see someplace new.

  816. Great Hanes giveaway, $50 will go a LONG way at Hanes.com.
    No, we wont be doing any summer traveling this year.

  818. What family couldn’t use a Hanes gift certificate? We would love to be entered. We do not do a lot of summer travelling. We will go camping once in awhile, but prefer to travel at times when places are less busy.

  822. My son has worn Hanes socks for years and still does! Enter me!

    We farm, so we don’t take vacations during the summer. We do, however, homeschool, so we head out in September following the last harvest. It’s less crowded, too!

  823. We are traveling to Australia this summer … or should I say I’m braving a flight with 3 kids (incl twin toddlers) by myself to visit family. Give me strength.

    I could always use some new Hanes around here. I just had to throw out a number of my sons underwear having found that he had decided to wear it to slide down the dirt hill in our backyard. White boxer briefs when worn to slide down a dirt hill with nothing over the top show the brown dirt and let’s just say that said 12 year old never wanted to wear them again for fear of getting changed in the boys locker room at school and kids thinking he may have just done something in said underwear … mmmmmm. Now we need new underwear.

  824. We normally got to CO and NM for a couple of weeks but due to the high gas prices we aren’t going this year. We are going away for 4th of July weekend to Lake of the Ozarks…should be fun!

  827. We usually take lots of day trips.
    I always pack extra socks and underwear for everyone, just in case. LOL

    We always buy Hanes products – they are great quality and reasonably priced. I love the commercials with Jennifer Love Hewitt.

  834. ooh! this would be great! socks, socks and more socks!

    We normally like to travel, go camping etc. But this year gas is just outrageous…sadly we will probably not do a whole lot at all. 🙁

  836. Our daughter spends many days away at camp, so this would be an awesome gift certificate to win! 🙂

  838. We’re headed to Atlanta this weekend, to visit my sister. Would love some new underwear. (Daughter has just started switching to them from diapers.)

  841. We aren’t traveling this summer but my girl is starting school this summer. I’d love to win and buy her Hanes! 😀

    Starr

  843. The Hanes boxer briefs look sooooooo adorable on my little three-year-old guy! I would love to win and be able to buy him Hanes for a long time…:)

  844. We are doing a lot more summer traveling this year since our kids are old enough to do some fun things. We’ve enjoyed every minute. (Ironically, gas prices are higher than ever and we’re traveling more….)

  849. We are moving this summer so we probably won’t be going on any big vacations. But we are moving to a vacation destination. We are looking forward to living near the ocean!

  850. I’ve already sent 3 kids (out of 5) to camp, one of whom lost all his clothes! 😮 We could use some new socks and boxers around here.

  851. We could use this!! As for our summer traveling, we plan on doing close to home trips, with the gas prices. We have a great little man made beach we plan on visiting several times this summer.

  852. Oh, we wish we did a lot of Summer traveling. But we did a big trip this year at the end of April/beginning of May. We drove 2000 miles, with an almost 3 year old and an infant, from Colorado to New Hampshire to visit family and go to a wedding. It was a lot of fun…most of the time. We’d love to get some Hanes gear, count us in for this one! 🙂

  853. We’ve got a few trips planned, even a road trip with an 8 week old baby and a 3 1/2 year old – are we crazy?

  854. We go camping twice during the summer. Once in May when it is very rainy. We’ll go on short day trips to visit family, possibly the beach. The hanes prize would be great with 2 young kids.

  858. We go to the mountains every year in Colorado since both sides of my grandparents live in Denver. It’s so beautiful and the air is so fresh. I can’t wait to go in a few weeks!

  859. We went to Florida in January, so this summer is pretty uneventful except for a few day trips. I love Hanes for my boys…they wear through their underthings so fast!

  862. Sadly, didn’t win any of the Summer giveaways LOL I’d love to win this. We don’t really do a lot of traveling.. but still could use this!
