Tim,
I'd suggest to enjoy your family, enjoy the sun and warmth, eat well, take long walks with those you love, enjoy the moonlight, and don't even think about looking for a music store or carrying a mouthpiece.
Army Bandsmen normally have two, two-week holidays a year. My fourth summer in the Army, I packed the horns, sheet music, tuner, mouthpieces, study guides, etc. away, and left all the rigors of work behind for two weeks. One of my all-time buddies stayed at home and mostly practiced during those two weeks. Guess who was refreshed at the first rehearsal after summer leave, and who was rather grumpy and burned out?
My $0.02,
-Lee
