Last weekend was Chevrolet Appreciation Day at Hershey Park in Pennsylvania where they celebrate Chevy family loyalty past, present and future. The Triple Threat Mommy family was one of ten blogging families who were treated to a sweet family weekend in Hershey, Pennsylvania where we got to test drive the Chevrolet Traverse for the weekend. As a car-less New York City family (the Metrocard is our keys to our urban car,…
Last week, we went on our second HomeExchange.com family trip. Our first was our Christmas Home Exchange trip to Paris last year. We decided to do something local and exchanged with a Washington D.C. family with a beautifully renovated 4-bedroom row house in Capitol Hill. It was a last minute decision — we discussed the trip with our home exchange family only the week prior. But, we still instituted our…
For the long Memorial Day weekend, we decided to do our second Home Exchange with a family from Washington D.C. When I think of D.C., I don’t think of it as a “family friendly” city. There’s lots of walking, a lot of museums and not a lot of playgrounds. Not the greatest combo for families. With some research, we chose what we felt were the most kid-friendly and interactive places…
For the Christmas holiday, we decided to have a family trip to Paris, France via a home swap through HomeExchange.com. We had a great time in Paris. It is such a family-friendly city and so easy to navigate via le metro. I wanted to share with you the things we did, plus some tips that will help you in your Paris travels. Getting around: Since we were there for seven…
I had written earlier last week how we had decided to use HomeExchange.com for our holiday trip to Paris for my grad school present. HomeExchange.com is a vacation alternative where you trade your home (apartment, or condo – or whatever you live in!) for an agreed upon time frame. You pay a minimal monthly fee to see the various listings. At this time it’s about $10/month for a year commitment….
I know have been remiss in keeping this blog up to date. REALLY remiss. It was easy at first to keep the posts coming because my job as a Marketing Director was eliminated (eliminated – yes, that is what the career counselors taught us to call it) in the spring of 2011. I was with my girls, I was going to blogger events and I was cooking, so I had…
Memorial Day Weekend marks the start of summer which means lots of family travel in the next coming months. I wanted to re-share with you one of our memorable trips that we made last year to Hershey Park. Hershey Park is a perfect family friendly place, with just the right kind of rides for even the littlest ones. We definitely hope to go back again this year. So, here’s my…
I had decided that we needed to start making family memories, doing those things that families do: going to Disneyworld, Great Adventure, Coney Island. I had decided that Disneyworld was too far and too expensive, Great Adventure was probably too old for our girls and Coney Island was too close (I wanted to make a weekend out of it). So our first stop in the family amusement park arena would…
