Making May Your Best

We’re on a mission this month to make your May the best it can be with our top tips for multiple areas of your life. Starting with our feature, dig in and learn to travel like a pro. From smart packing to handling your most important documents as stealthily as an FBI agent, we’ve got you covered. And if any of that travel includes flying the skies with children, our Family Fun section includes tips from take off to landing to make your trip a breeze.

May is the perfect time to enjoy some at-home entertaining and backyard grilling. Wondering which grill would best set your soul afire? Check out Home and Hearth for all the details and tips to help you choose. Or maybe you’re in need of a night off from cooking. Local Flavor covers the eclectic and delicious Bistro L’Hermitage, serving up French cuisine.

Giving Back shares the story of the Human Services Alliance of Prince William. Read about the variety of services they offer and the tremendous difference they are making in our community. Know someone in need? One of our best tips is telling you to check them out.

Speaking of things to check out, the Marine Corps Museum has expanded and offers a tremendous amount of education and history for all ages. Our Destinations article shares information on current exhibits and future plans for expansion. On a High Note this month features the story of Valiant Vault and Glenn Hastings, a Green Beret turned entrepreneur. And in Your Finances, you’ll find tips for estate planning and to help you sort through the tough questions for planning for the future.

Wishing you a wonderful and successful May.
