SeaWorld at Chrismas – #typeatrip day 3
SeaWorld was decked for the holidays, from Christmas trees with a seaside theme to twinkling blue lights. There were also several holiday-themed activities there. The Arctic attraction with the polar bears changed from a simulated helicopter ride to a Polar Express ride. Shamu also put on a special Christmas version of Believe (although we went [...]
Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure – #typeatrip day two
Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure are where we spent day two of our holiday visit to Orlando. The highlight of the day at Universal Studios for the grown ups was probably seeing the Mystery Machine and the Simpsons area, and the kids enjoyed the Feivel play area the most. Over at Islands of Adventure, [...]
Thanksgiving at Disney World – #typeatrip Day One
“I’m really here.” That’s what my 3-year-old son said yesterday, softly to himself soon after we arrived at Disney World. I know many families do the traditional Thanksgiving, but this year we decided to pack up the minivan and head south. Today, Thanksgiving Day, was our first day at the parks during this visit. A [...]
Visiting iRobot
I just got back from a fun and fascinating trip to Boston, all expenses paid courtesy of iRobot. I wanted to go for a couple reasons. One, I love Boston (and the trip prompted me to do a post at Suite101 on Boston Sightseeing with Kids). Two, I dig gadgets, electronics, and all geeky things. [...]
Asheville with Kids
Asheville is a great destination with kids, with a variety of outdoor activities, a children’s museum and kid-friendly attractions.
NC Arboretum with Kids
There is a local attraction that really doesn’t get mentioned often in the kid-friendly category, but it’s one of our favorite places to go with the kids: the NC Arboretum in Asheville. People don’t automatically think to take kids to an arboretum, but this one really has lots for little ones to do. There are [...]
My Traveling Mamas Interview
I was so pleased to get interviewed by one of my long-time online travel writer buddies, Jen Miner (a.k.a. MudslideMama). I met my fellow travel writer who is a cohort feature writer for the Outdoors & Recreation section at Suite101. So needless to say, I was thrilled when she asked to interview me for TravelingMamas.com [...]
We’re Going to Disney World
In two days, we hit the road to experience the holidays at Disney World. This was kind of an impromptu thing. It started with my previous post on the Mom Panel. I wrote about all the holiday happenings there for my Suite101 Family Adventures site. What really clinched it, for me, was when I heard [...]
Disney World 2.0 with the Moms Panel
There are so many organizations that are so far behind when it comes to social networking and web 2.0. It also seems to me a bit that the older and bigger the company, the more grumpy dudes in gray suits sit in board rooms shooting down ideas related to modern and social marketing. I was [...]
Promenade des Anglais
I can’t really believe I used to live a couple blocks from the Promenade des Anglais in Nice. I can remember going there to people-watch, or to sit along the shore to munch a tasty baguette from the local market. Our daughter hated (actually, still hates) to sleep. We would take put her in her [...]
