This past July was the 1st time I had gone in the summersince I was like 12 so I had forgotten how hot it was! ANd I thought I was prepared. I wasn't. After a day it was soo bad. I gave up on wearing make up during the day because it just sweats off your face and a sleelveless shirt or tank is a must. I had a 13 month old with us and we had a clip on fan for her stroller and we purchased a water bottle that sprays and has a fan on it to "spritz n cool" yourself off. We took our own water into the parks and stopped at the spraying stations a lot. I do not like the heat and crowds..none of us do. I say keep hydrated, wear loose fitting clothing and nothing you don't mind getting sweaty, take a mid day break, wear sneakers..nix the sandals, expect crowds and not everyone is in a good mood in the heat (so expect less than happy people).
