What Vacation Means to Us

July 13, 2018 by GirlAGain

Are you taking a vacation this summer?  Read about what our trainees and associates enjoy about vacations.

What Vacation Means to Me – Vicky C.

When I think of going on vacation I think of going to a place that’s warm and near a beach or a pool. Every year my family and I go to our summer cottage at the lake to enjoy the nice weather. My favorite activities there are swimming, kayaking, having picnics and just relaxing. We also like seeing all the animals that live in and around the lake. Spending summer there has always been a family tradition. The best part about vacations is having fun together as a family and visiting a different place.   

Also one of the biggest vacation I’ve been on with my family was when we went to California for my aunt and uncle’s wedding. We got to go to Disneyland; visit one of the beaches near there and swim in the pool at the hotel.

As you can tell, I really like swimming on my vacations!  Many of the American Girl characters love to swim too. Since swimming is my go to activity on my vacations, I have recommended that all bathing suits, swim and summer accessories be on sale for Girl AGain’s next Trunk Show on July 19th!

 

What Vacation Means to Me – Cristina C.

When I think of summer vacation, I think of my family traveling to our old house in the Adirondacks. I have vivid memories of swimming in the refreshing lake with my family and us renting a boat from the marina to tour around. We would cook s’mores over the bonfire and have classic barbecue food on the fourth of July. Sometimes we would spend the day at a local amusement park. We would top off our evening by going out for ice cream. Because we were up north in the mountains, the weather would be cooler and fresher which made it a perfect place to escape the heat back home.

In Samantha’s summer story, “Samantha Saves the Day”, Samantha and her family travel to her grandmother’s home in the mountains. Since the rest of Samantha’s stories take place in New York, it is highly likely that their summer home is in the Adirondacks. I connected with Samantha’s story because I too had a summer home in the mountains.

In 1904, girls Samantha’s age wore middy dresses, a type of sailor style dress meant to wear while exploring wildlife. Girls were still expected to wear boots over long stockings, and the hat was worn to keep the sun out of their eyes. In honor of Samantha’s summer story, we have her middy dress for sale. I have also convinced our Store Manager to include a number of Samantha’s other travel and vacation ready accessories and outfits for the Trunk Sale on July 19th.

Our Store

American Girl Store Girl AGain opened in February 2014 to rave reviews from American Girl doll fans, their moms and especially their grandmas. You’ll find authentic gently used AG dolls, clothing, furniture, accessories and books that have been cleaned and prepared for sale at good prices in an easy-access store.

We also host in-store events such as American Girl book author readings, tea parties, and craft activities. Our most popular event is Girl AGain Doll Hair Do’s & Don’ts Workshop. Check here often to see what is scheduled.

You’ll find a selection of dolls: the original dolls from the historical periods as well as My American Girl, Bitty Baby and Bitty Twins. We have new and used outfits for all AG dolls, as well as their furniture and accessories. Our merchandise changes daily.

You’ll also find a great selection of new and used American Girl books. You don’t have to be a doll lover to enjoy the advice books like The Care and Keeping of You, and A Smart Girl’s Guide to Money.

Girl AGain is not affiliated with American Girl(r) company.

Yes She Can!

Did you know that 80% of adults with autism are unemployed? We created our boutique specifically to help develop transferable job skills for young women with autism. Our trainees at Girl AGain sort, clean and prepare the merchandise, price it, and display it in our shop. Our trainees learn about marketing, merchandising, retailing, customer service, and inventory acquisition in addition to appropriate workplace behavior, research, collaboration and decision-making. We have staff who manage our accounting (Quick Books) and our website (WordPress).

Our customers learn about the abilities of people with autism. And hopefully, our youngest shoppers learn about acceptance and inclusion of people with disabilities.
