I had all but made up my mind to stay put for the holidays and forego the hustle and bustle of holiday travel. As much as I love traveling with my kids and spending Thanksgiving and Christmas in either New York or South Carolina, Baltimore has a lot to offer too! Okay, okay, I’ll be honest here. Truth be […]
Hotels are for Humans
This post will be short and sweet because my point on the matter is pretty cut and dry: Hotels are for humans, not for dogs. I don’t believe that everyday hotels should allow dogs to stay in the room with guests. My views have nothing to do with me not owning a pet, or me being anti-dog. It […]
Chesapeake Pirate Adventure
The advantages of living near water easily includes having a few extra summer activities for you and your kids than those who may be land-locked.

Carbon Footprint – Hotels making a difference?
Do hotels really want to make a difference?

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 […]
