School’s out for the summer.  That usually entails keeping the kids entertained, going to the beach, or perhaps packing up the car to take the family on a road trip to an exotic destination. For a number of families, summer is also the perfect time to move.  I should know, since summer always coincides with the height of the moving business. 

When you think about it, it makes perfect sense for families to move during the summer.  With the end of the school year also comes a cessation in having to take the kids to after school activities.  It also means you parents don’t have to worry about helping Johnny and Suzie with their homework for the next couple of months.  In short, it frees a family up to get on with the chore of packing for a move.
