[Re-posted from my column on the Examiner.com D.C. for Family Travel & Entertainment] As the weather begins to drop, many D.C. families begin considering warm-weather getaways, non-demanding of long travel time and high costs. Traveling from D.C. to Jamaica is an inexpensive choice and a relatively short flight. Including a connection, Jamaica is a 5-hour […]

SeaWorld: Education, Entertainment, and Amusement
The first thing that my husband said to me when I told him we were going to SeaWorld was, “But we’ve already been to the one in San Diego already.” And my response was, “So?” I often tell my readers, when you travel as a family, most of the time, it’s not about mom and […]
Grabbing a Bite in Kissimmee and Downtown Disney
Every week I contemplate entering my husband and eight year old into a buffalo-wing eating contest. The amount these two can put away is astonishing. Overall, we’re big fans of chicken and as a health-living mom, it’s my go-to protein for my diet. When we travel, I’m always on the look out for restaurants that […]

Legoland Florida is the largest Legoland in the world. It’s simply amazing. I’m ecstatic that I got a chance to take my son to see it. I think he’s secretly created a bucket list to visit the other 4 of them across the world. Here we come California, Denmark, Germany, and […]
Disney World For All – The Family Travels To Magic Kingdom
I remember the days when we traveled one week every summer from New York to Orlando to visit Disney World.

New Smyrna Beach, Florida
While visiting the Kissimmee and Orlando area, I thought I’d stop by New Smyrna Beach, FL to get some relaxation in with the family before the onslaught of traffic, crowds, and theme parks. I”m happy that I did. New Smyrna Beach is a sleepy little town just 90 minutes shy of the Orlando area, Northeast […]
