Family Friendly Travel
A few years ago my brother and sister in law got married at the Smithville Inn. I had never been to Smithville, NJ before and honestly had never even heard of it. We had the best time – both at their wedding and in the Smithville area. Since then we have visited a couple more times, most recently this Spring… Read More
Last month we visited Annapolis, Maryland with the kids. I had never been before and we only had a day there. I wanted to make sure we got in lots of great stuff while still feeling like we were on vacation and not exhausted after the day. I did a lot of research ahead of time and hopefully this guide… Read More
This spring we took the kids to Washington, DC. For most of them, it was their first trip. We saw a lot, relaxed a bit and overall had a wonderful trip to the Nation’s Capital. I am working on typing up our itinerary to share but in the meantime I wanted to share details on where we stayed. Our hotel… Read More

This year, I wanted to go somewhere for a weekend before Christmas and take my parents along with us. I decided we would go back to Hersheypark. We knew they would… Read More
Looking for a fun family vacation? Try Amelia Island. Beautiful, white sand and plenty of places to run and explore, it’s the ideal spot for a fun filled family vacation. Earlier this month we visited Amelia Island as a family. We had the best time and are already trying to figure out when we can go back. The beaches are… Read More
It’s been a few years since we took the kids to Cape Cod. It’s been a place I have fond memories of since I was a kid. The Cape is so family friendly and a great spot to unwind together. We loved our last trip to Cape Cod and we were very excited to book a trip back this year…. Read More
A few years ago when we were planning our trip to Italy, I started collecting children’s books about the different spots we were going to visit. From fiction to Italian language books, it’s how I prepared the kids for the trip. When I was trying to think of summer reading books for all of the kids, I thought that it… Read More
