Everyone knows that the nation’s capital is full of drama but how many actually travel here to watch it?

Traveling Solo: D.C. Without Kids
Traveling with children to cultural meccas is fun, rewarding, entertaining, and educational for everyone in the family. It can also be slightly restrictive if you have really young children. It’s not often that I get to enjoy a hotel room by myself. Family life and priorities rarely afford the opportunity. However, this weekend I got […]
Luxury Travel with the Kids – The Ritz Carlton St. Thomas
Our recent stay in the Cayman Islands has us spoiled when it comes to upscale travel with the kids.

I envision yards and yards of splishing and splashing, so imagine my surprise when I pulled up to the Chesapeake Beach Waterpark and peeped that it was actually the size of a Brooklyn block(that’s Brooklyn, NY, not Brooklyn, […]
A Taste of Spain at the Baltimore Inner Harbor
As soon as you step into the four year old La Tasca Spanish Tapas Restaurant and Bar, you feel like you’ve been transported right to the Mediterranean…thoughtfully decorated with a definitive Spanish flare. The restaurant is situated on prime real estate, directly in front of the U.S.S. Constellation, facing the calm waters of the Inner Harbor.
Travel To Greece In Three Hours
It was a great opportunity to have a living classroom for our son that was easy on our pockets and served as a discreet teaching moment as well…On an eighth of a tank of gas and for less than a Benjamin, that’s one Mediterranean trip for a family of four that would have anyone shouting “Opa!”
May Festivals in D.C.
Spring and Summer are the best times of year to enjoy festivals and outdoor events in the MD/DC/VA area. The New Yorker in me generally keeps me away from crowds, however, there’s something about the combination of sun, music, mobile foods and a good ole fashioned street party that overrides my slight enochlophobia. Street festivals are like living, breathing classrooms […]
