The third stop on our 2010 Road Trip Adventure was Nashville, TN, where the music scene rules and country stars are discovered. We didn't get to see much of Nashville, but Carrie from Tiki Tiki Blog, a Nashville resident for over a decade now, was wonderful in taking us to the many different spots in the touristy area where we landed that would be of great interest to us. For my husband, s[...]
On the next stop of our 2010 Road Trip Adventure, after a day of activities in Washington, DC and an awesome couple of nights at Alexandria, VA, we made our way to Williamsburg, VA. I had hoped that we would able to stay longer so that we could go to Colonial Williamsburg, but we only had one day. And that day was all about Busch Gardens Williamsburg. I had made the mistake of mentioning[...]
Our 2010 Road Trip Adventure has begun! It was a bit tricky at first. The day before we headed out our car failed us. So we ran to the nearest Hertz and rented what we could afford: a sedan. No DVD, no GPS system, no technology to entertain the kids! But we've been there before. read more[...]
In listening to most travelers, and maybe a few travel writers, one would think that the best adventures are those found and sought out in distant lands. One would also believe that the best stories, the best pictures, or the most bragging rights come from these exotic, far-reached trips. Though I love and dream of travel to far, exotic places just as much as the next person, I still hope[...]
Exciting news! Lego is opening up shop at Rockefeller Center here in New York City. Grand opening ceremonies will take place from Thursday, June 29th through July 1. Lego organizers have been busy working and putting together all the final details for the grand event and I had the opportunity to get a sneak peak into this wonderful new locale. Upon entering, visitors will be greeted[...]
Ah, Summer. It is upon us. So many, many things to see and do here in NYC. No matter how hot the day, if you're not at favorite NY beach, you will definitely find a way to keep busy. As you know, as far as museums go, one of my favorites is El Museo del Barrio. Located in Spanish Harlem, aka El Barrio, it is one that should not be missed whether you are just hanging out in the city or vis[...]
My love for travel, especially travel with my family in tow, comes from the fact that almost always I come away with a new dimension of me and of my kids. The more unique the trip, the more opportunities I have to discover something new about all of us. Thus, those are usually the trips that I am remember the most. This particular trip was for a weekend stay at Stony Creek Farmstead whe[...]
The Adirondacks has become a favorite place for my family and I to visit. A few times we've bitten the bullet and driven the 5.5 hours there on a Friday afternoon, just to get as far away as we could from the hustle and bustle of the city. Even the little ones look forward to the escapes to the mountains and have enjoyed our few trips out to places like Tupper Lake and Lake Placid. And the[...]
As the weather gets warmer, and the city streets get hotter, my family and I love to go on little beach getaways outside of Manhattan. Our beach destination of choice: Long Island. Even though we have a car, we often find that not driving is not only greener, but easier, especially in the Summer months when traffic into and out of Manhattan is at its absolute worse. We have found that des[...]
As I sit and write this post, my skin aches a bit from the hours under the sun, my feet are tired, and my heart is filled with joy, for we chose to spend this day in Coney Island. We met up with our darling friend Raven and her beautiful daughter M., and headed out to Brooklyn mid-morning. With the forecast promising thunderstorms by mid-afternoon, we were unsure of how long our fun wou[...]
