Dive into the pages of any good adventure book—or into the screen of a movie at the local theater—and you’ll quickly be immersed in captivating stories. You’ll be pulled into worlds of wizards fighting dark magic, pirates trying to seize control of ghost ships, a quest for revenge on a whale, a 1,100-mile hike for self-discovery and healing, the visit to a theme park populated by dinosaurs … the list goes on and on, but, unfortunately, we’re limited here.

The point being: adventure exists all around us if you know where to find it—and with this month’s issue of Vinings Lifestyle, you won’t have to go far.

What better time to have an adventure than summer? The weather is warm, the kids are out of school and there are endless possibilities for experiences that create memories that can last a lifetime.

We hope these pages will inspire you to do explore, to do things you’ve always wanted to do but never did and to—most importantly—have a little fun.

Have some great adventures, Vinings.

Maybe we’ll see you around.
