Where in the World is Strong?

 

Many SAM employees have traveled far and wide this summer season. We are so excited to share some of their adventures below!

Suann and her husband went to Paris, London, and New York this summer. The highlight of their trip was seeing the Mona Lisa and Venus de Milo in person!
Holland traveled to Alaska and Canada with her family. While she was there, she was able to experience seeing whales, Glacier Bay National Park, and The Yukon Mountains. This photo was taken in Canada, where she visited a musher camp and got to hold the newest batch of puppies for the sleds!
Mary Coleman traveled with her family to Pursell Farms in Sylacauga to celebrate adding a brother into her family! It was the sweetest weekend celebrating her sister and husband and to see the love they share.
BreAnna, her wife, and their oldest daughter went on a cruise to Costa Maya and Cozumel during the first week of June!
Alex and her family took a trip to Perdido Key, FL for Callie’s first vacation.
Chloe went to Italy with her family! She stayed in Florence, Tuscany, and the Amalfi Coast. This photo is from spending the day in Positano. After Italy, she flew to Amsterdam to see Harry Styles in Concert! “It was the trip of a lifetime,” she said.
Kelsey and her husband rode horses on the beach during their honeymoon in Saint Lucia. “It was something I have always wanted to do, and I finally got to do it!” Kelsey said.
Baylee visited Grenada earlier in June. “One of my favorite things about traveling is learning about the places I visit, so I loved going to tastings for all the delicious things made on the island (exotic fruit, rum and chocolate to name a few!)” she said.
This photo is of Will G and his son Aiden in Florence, Italy in front of the Duomo. He and his family took a trip to Rome and also visited the Vatican and St. Peter’s Basilica. Then they spent a week in Tuscany, and went to Siena, Florence, and the Chianti region – which was Will’s favorite.
Katie and her husband Jeremy went to Mendoza and Buenos Aires, Argentina at the end of April! They went hiking in the Andes mountains and visited several wineries in the Lujan de Cuyo region in Mendoza. They also spent time exploring the capital city of Buenos Aires. “Argentina is a beautiful country with so many hidden treasures to enjoy,” Katie said.
The Rambow Family headed to Cooperstown, NY for the Cooperstown Dreams Park 12U baseball tournament. The best part for Anne was that her son, Avery, hit his first over-the-fence homerun on her birthday (which was also Father’s day!) “A lifetime memory for sure!” she said.
