Family fun at The Wild Center, Natural History Museum of The Adirondacks
On our recent visit to The Adirondacks, we made a stop at The Wild Center, the Natural History Museum of the area. It was a beautiful Saturday and the sun was shining bright. Normally on days like these the last thing you want to do is be inside, but the museum is designed in such a beautiful way that you can enjoy all it has to offer, while still [...]
Ski and Fun at Pico Mountain, Killington, VT
My family and I made our way out to Killington, VT recently to check out Pico Mountain. I went on behalf of Trekeroo, a wonderful site where travelers with kids have access to tips, trips, and sights as experienced by other families like themselves, and where I am a proud contributor. We had a wonderful time and I invite you [...]
A Parent’s Survival Guide to Navigating Boston
During my recent trip to Atlantis, I had the pleasure of meeting Kim Foley MacKinnon, author of many guidebooks, including Boston for Families, and a fellow travel writer. Kim has authored yet another wonderful book, Boston Baby, A Field Guide for Urban Parents, which brings the best information on Boston to the hands of the families who live [...]
Atlantis Kids Adventure: Fun For The Young Traveler
We are back in New York City after a few days spent discovering all there is to do at Atlantis Paradise Island, Bahamas. One of the highlights of this trip, and the main reason for coming, was to experience the new 8,000-square-feet Atlantis Kids Adventure (AKA), a new kids club that pushes the limits of what we parents and children have seen in [...]
A Morning Adventure at Atlantis Paradise Island, Bahamas
My 12 year and I woke up today ready to head out for a swim before the day's activities. However, as we made our way out of the Royal Tower (where we are staying), we became distracted by how everything looks when lit by the bright warm sun of the Bahamas and by the incredible landscape in the area. We decided to walk through the [...]
Arrival to Atlantis Paradise Island, Bahamas
My 12 year old son and I have set out on a new adventure. We have set off on a trip to the Bahamas to check out the Atlantis Paradise Island's new 8,000 square feet Atlantis Kids Adventures (AKA), designed while taking into the consideration the imagination and desires of the younger traveler. The trip, hosted by JetBLue, Atlantis, and Lego, has [...]
Date Night at The Affinia Shelburne

Formerly The Shelburne Murray Hill, Affinia Shelburne has undergone a 2 year, $23 million dollar renovation, focusing in great part with providing their guests with a sense of comfort, access to functionality, and top of the line customer service and [...]
Holiday Cheers, San Antonio Style
Tonight I went out to have a great time, San Antonio, TX style. Now I have never been to San Antonio, but the lovely people from the San Antonio Convention and Visitors Bureau are in town, along with San Antonio Mayor, Julián Castro, and San Antonio’s own all-female Mariachi Las Alteñas. As I tasted the margarita creations of Blanca Aldaco, [...]
Country Inn and Suites, Middleton, WI
After having left Billings, MT and still on a high from our hotel experience there, we headed out to North Dakota. Like I said in my previous post, everyone warned me that it wasn't much to look at, but after accidently finding the Badlands there, I thought that maybe they were wrong. Then we arrived to Fargo, ND...and in Fargo the worst hotel, [...]
From Sioux Falls to The Badlands, South Dakota
Another early morning, but not as early as the ones before, and definitely slower in pace. We woke up almost used to the routine already, on the fifth day into our Road Trip Adventure. We arrived to Sioux Falls yesterday afternoon. I spent most of the day dozing off in the car. My husband loves to drive, so getting him to agree to let me [...]
