Summer travel may come with higher costs this year, as airfare, gas, lodging, dining, and activities all reflect broader price pressures.

Average domestic airfare is about $383, up $89 from last year, while gas prices have risen $1.42 per gallon from a year earlier.

Other travel-related expenses are also higher. Activities are up by more than 5.5%, lodging costs are up by 4.3%, and dining out prices are up by more than 3.6%.

Even with higher prices, many Americans are still taking trips, though some may choose destinations closer to home to help manage overall costs.

These trends show how inflation can affect more than everyday essentials — it can also shape how households approach travel, leisure, and seasonal spending.

☀️ Beat the Heat 🚗

Summer is here, and while we're all looking forward to road trips, beach days, and weekend getaways, the season's heat can be tough on your vehicle. Hot pavement, soaring temperatures, and longer drives put extra strain on parts that worked just fine all winter. A little preventive care now can save you from a breakdown on the side of a sweltering highway later.

Not sure where to start? A few quick checks:

🚗 Under Pressure: Heat makes the air in your tires expand, while underinflated tires generate extra heat from flexing. Either extreme can lead to a blowout on hot pavement. Check pressure monthly when tires are cold, and don't forget the spare.

🌡️ Keep It Cool: Your cooling system is the first line of defense against an overheated engine. Top off your coolant, check the reservoir, and if the temperature gauge starts climbing into the red, pull over and let it cool down before driving on.

🔋 High Temp, Low Energy: Most folks blame winter, but summer heat is actually harder on batteries. High temperatures speed up corrosion and cause fluid to evaporate inside. If yours is more than three years old, get it tested before it leaves you stranded in a hot parking lot.

A few minutes under the hood now can mean the difference between a smooth summer and an unexpected tow. Here's to a safe and sunny season ahead. 🌞

🛡️ 3 Simple Insurance Tips 🛡️

Insurance can feel pretty complicated. Even funny commercials can make you feel like you don’t really understand what your policy does.

So here are three simple insurance tips to help you understand your policies just a little bit better:
1️⃣ Update after big life changes. Bought a car? Renovated the kitchen? Let your agent know.
2️⃣ Know your deductibles. This helps you make better decisions and saves you from an unwanted surprise if you have a claim.
3️⃣ Take inventory. If you don’t know what you have, you don’t know what needs to be replaced.

That’s it. These three simple things can help you handle your policies without as much fuss.

As for the rest? Talk to us. We’ll guide you every step of the way.

💡 "I Thought I Was Covered…" 💸

This is the most expensive phrase in insurance. Thinking your policy does something that it doesn’t leads to gaps that could cost you much more than you think.

But we don’t expect you to be an insurance expert. That’s why we try to make sure your policies match your life at least once a year. We try to avoid things like:

🚫 Sewer backup not included
🏠 Business equipment stored at home
🏚️ Out-of-date replacement cost on your home
🚗 Liability only with a valuable vehicle

If you haven’t had a review in a while, get in touch with us. We can help you find these issues before they become “I thought…” moments. 🛡️

One of the most iconic roadways in the U.S. is celebrating a major milestone.

Route 66 turns 100 years old this year, continuing to draw travelers from around the world with its unique mix of history, culture, and roadside charm.

Stretching roughly 2,400 miles from Chicago to Santa Monica, the route has long been associated with exploration, connection, and cross-country travel.

Over the decades, it has played many roles—from a pathway for migration during the 1930s to a symbol of postwar travel and adventure.

Today, much of the road remains drivable, with historic landmarks, local businesses, and preserved sites keeping its legacy alive for new generations.

For many, Route 66 remains more than just a highway—it’s an experience shaped by the stories and communities along the way. 🚗

Homeowners and renters insurance can offer protection for your personal belongings, but this coverage is often limited when it comes to high-value items. Items like jewelry, artwork, coin collections, and other rare or expensive items might require more coverage than a standard policy allows.

Let's discuss the benefits of having your valuable items scheduled - it's inexpensive to do so and can be a heart break if you don't.
