The Wave Hotel in Vieques doesn’t look like much, but it tells a story of brutality and resilience.
Hurricane Maria attacked the Caribbean in September of 2017, and left behind devastation for every single resident on the island. It destroyed businesses, knocked out power, tore trees from the ground, left power lines thrashing about in the streets, stripped rainforests...

Before it was Ruined: A Family Restaurant Review of Gaston’s Tavern in Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World, Orlando, Florida
Catherine - 0
When Walt Disney World opened up the new Fantasyland in Magic Kingdom, complete with the Beast’s castle at the top of a hill overlooking Belle’s quaint village below, they ingeniously included Gaston’s Tavern. A manly establishment fitted with huge leather chairs, bear skins and deer heads covering the walls, and meats on the menu. It is the epitome of...
On day two of our family trip to Arches National Park with kids, we hiked one of the best hikes in Arches National Park: The complete 4 mile roundtrip trek to Delicate Arch! We didn't intend to do this from the get go, but nightly thunderstorms contributed to flash flooding throughout Arches, and as a consequence many areas of...
If you are looking for Moab Utah Campgrounds, but don't want to deal with taking a tent and all the supplies, glamping in Moab is a great alternative. Glamping is the next best thing to camping and vacationing outdoors.

We love Epcot; in fact, Epcot and Disney's Animal Kingdom are our family's favorite parks at Disney World. That might be a little sacrilegious for parents of toddlers to admit, but we love how immersive each park is! These parks are dedicated entirely to the guest experience and to the seclusion of the outside world, more so than any...

Catherine - 4
When we got wind that FAO Schwarz was closing its flagship store overlooking 5th Avenue in New York City, we didn’t want to miss the opportunity to take our children to play on the oversized piano keys overlooking Manhattan. There is nothing quite so iconic as playing without limits in the ultimate toy store in the largest city in...

Kona Cafe: Family Restaurant Review in Walt Disney World, Polynesian Resort, Orlando, Florida
Catherine - 0
The Polynesian Resort at Walt Disney World is incredible, to say the least. One can only expect the same from any restaurant housed within the perimeter. The Kona Cafe is a simple restaurant, without much styling or motif, but the food is worthy enough to bring us back again and again. We’ve now dined at the Kona Cafe twice....
It was a bit chilly, as nights often get living in the desert valley enveloped by dignified mountains; the same kind of chill you often get when anticipating something extraordinary. The kind that even makes you shake a little bit from excitement. But..., by the time the crowd yelled in unison: "Are you Roger Moore?" we were fully warmed...
When we figured out that Harvard, the Harvard, was only one stop away, the first time we rode the Red Line on the T in Boston, Massachusetts, we knew it was time for our kids first college visit! We were planning on visiting Harvard University while we were in Boston, but seeing the name in print, on the subway...
