We just got back from our second trip from Beaches Turks and Caicos . We went last year and loved it so much that while we were there we booked this year’s trip. And guess what? We loved it so much that we booked our 2016 trip! We also go to local beaches a lot so we are pretty well-versed on what makes a happy family beach vacation. It doesn’t take much,…
We stay at various resorts with varying price points and enjoy staying at hotels that have great value. Holiday Inn is a brand that has is known and I trust.

After a super-fun overnight stay and safari tour at Nomad Ridge at The Wilds in Cumberland, Ohio, we drove a half-hour west to Zanesville, Ohio for some sight-seeing and lots of eating in this city of over 25,000 people. Early in the century, it was once known as the “Clay City” and the “Pottery Capital of the World”. Clockwise from upper left: local brews at Weasel Boys Brewery, Market Place Inn, Muddy…
For our 15th anniversary, we’ve had the opportunity to go glamping and on a safari. That’s right. Like I said, glamping is the only kind of camping I would ever do, and what’s great about it is that you don’t have to travel overseas to go on one. Instead, you can go glamping at Nomad Ridge, The Wilds in Ohio. The Wilds is easy to get to. Just fly into…
This year marks the 15th Wedding Anniversary to The Hubby. Our normal way of celebrating is usually a kiss in the morning and a “Happy Anniversary”. More often than not, I hate to admit, is that we forget our anniversary. Not joking. And we have two: one in June for our City Hall wedding, which was then followed a year later for the church wedding the following May. So, we…

As a family, we enjoy going to Rockefeller Playground in Battery Park City, especially when the weather is nice. There’s a…
For spring break, we had the opportunity to use a friend’s residence at the Ritz-Carlton in Aspen Highlands in Aspen, Colorado. I heard about people going spring skiing before, but we’ve never had the experience as a family. My husband and I asked some avid skiers about what they thought about spring skiing and got mixed reviews — simply because it depended on the weather. Since we had a fabulous place…
This past spring break, we were so fortunate to stay at The Ritz-Carlton Residences in Aspen Highlands because a friend of mine let us use her time-share. I had done research and knew that it was an amazing travel experience, but I didn’t know how lus it truly was. This was the first time that we had spent at a Ritz-Carlton property and it is an unforgettable experience. Below are…
