Wyndham Bonnet Creek Child-Friendly Timeshare

My family and I discovered a true gem of a resort on our current trip to Disney World.  The Wyndham Bonnet Creek Resort is located 10-15 minutes from all the Disney Parks, Universal Sea World, downtown Disney and is perfect for families of all shapes and sizes. It's not a hotel or even a Disney resort; it's actually a timeshare.  It has so much to offer: location, activities, accessibility, spacious rooms, amenities, free shuttle service to all the Disney parks, five pools scattered around the resort, miniature golf, club rooms, an extremely kind … [Read more...]

The Ultimate Play Date at Affinia 50

affinia hotels

Last week my daughter and I were invited to the ultimate play date at the Affinia 50 Hotel.  I wouldn't be lying if I told you that it was one of my daughter's favorite play dates ever.  She had a big smile on her face when she saw what this hotel has to offer. We were there to check out their American Girl Family Package.  It makes sense since they're located so close to the American Girl Doll store just a few blocks away.  They've incorporated a trip to NYC into the American Girl Doll line in a very creative way. We took a complimentary tour … [Read more...]

Royal Wedding Coverage: Where to Eat and Stay with Kids in London

April 12, 2011 By 2 Comments
London Food

The article below was originally posted on TravelingMom.com.  I am re-posting it here for people about to embark on the city for the Royal Wedding.  If you have kids, you’ll be interested in some things we learned last summer. In addition to the article, I want to elaborate on where to eat and stay.  I spent a year living in London after college, and we go as a family every year, so I have traveled both on a budget and as a family in the grand city rather.  While I will admit that eating in London can be quite expensive, it doesn’t … [Read more...]

Review: A Piece of Nashville at the Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center

When I ventured off to the Blissdom conference at the Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center last week in Nashville, I was fully aware that I was going to be staying in a legendary hotel.  I knew that the hotel had been host to so many celebrities and is a Nashville landmark.  What I didn't expect was its huge fountains, tropical foliage positioned throughout the hotel, winding rivers, waterfalls, bridges and gazebos positioned throughout the hotel.  It is truly colossal, and quite a spectacle...but I mean that positively.  I can understand … [Read more...]

We just had the most luxurious weekend with an overnight stay at the Kimberly Hotel in New York City, located on 145 East 50th Street.  Staying in the city was a luxury we don't get very often, and it's something that we've never done as a family.  I lived in the city for nearly ten years before moving out to the suburbs, so it was certainly a treat to spend 24 carefree hours in a beautiful hotel that happens to be an ideal location. … [Read more...]

Callaway Gardens, A Great Family Getaway

My family just spent three days at Callaway Gardens in Pine Mountain, Georgia.  I spent many family vacations there as a child and was eager to show my children this very special, memorable place.  Seeing that I haven't been here for many years, I wasn't sure if our getaway would live up to my memory's standards.  It definitely did.  Even though we managed to arrive on the grounds barely one week after high season ended, and many attractions and restaurants were closed during our stay, we still found so much to do on Callaway' Garden's 13,000 … [Read more...]
