To many of us, \"\"<\/a>summertime means one thing: road trip<\/a>. My favorite was one I took with my family in August of 1974, when we drove from Indiana to Florida in an old Ford with a camper that had no bathroom or shower.<\/p>\n

I vividly remember sites like Weeki Watchee<\/a> (a tourist attraction that featured \u201creal\u201d mermaids underwater) and The Lost Sea<\/a>, a \u201csecret\u201d underground lake in Sweetwater, TN.<\/p>\n

My biggest regret: I missed seeing Nixon resign on TV after I\u2019d spent a great deal of time watching all of the Watergate hearings after school each day. Instead of witnessing that historical moment on the tube, I was sitting in a restaurant in Birmingham, eating corn on the cob.<\/p>\n

Here at ASI, annual road trips are fast becoming a tradition for three Counselor\u00ae<\/em> magazine editors who embarked today on an eight-day, 17-city cross-country quest to find the coolest workplaces in the industry.<\/p>\n

Melinda Ligos, Andy Cohen and Joe Haley are visiting companies from New York to Seattle and beyond for Counselor<\/em>\u2019s upcoming Best Places to Work<\/a> issue, which will highlight the many ways the people in this industry have devised to light up their 9-5 lives.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Their first stop: Axis Promotions in New York City, where they enjoyed a Monday morning breakfast party with bloody marys and mimosas.<\/p>\n

You can look for the Best Places issue this fall \u2013 but this week you can check out www.counselormag.com\/counselortour<\/a> for a running road trip blog and photos. And! Every time you tweet with the hashtag #counselortour, you\u2019ll become eligible for a $500 prize.<\/p>\n
