This was our first Disney cruise and one night in particular, I really was hoping Disney Cruise Room Service could deliver a magical experience for me. Magic and Disney go hand in hand, right? As it so happens, we were even aboard the Disney Magic ship, so this should have been easy.
We ate the most delicious banana creme...

Poás Volcano with Kids, Stratovolcano With Double Crater, Costa Rica, Central America
Catherine - 0
Costa Rica is covered in volcanoes, so naturally one of the things we couldn’t miss on our trip to Costa Rica was a visit to at least one of these volcanoes. We narrowed it down to the most popular Arenal Volcano, the most active Poás Volcano, and the tallest Irazu Volcano. Ultimately we chose the Poás Volcano because it...

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.

Across the street from the Granary Burying Ground is Beantown Pub. For some reason, a joke we heard about the pub runs through my head everytime I think about this site: “This is the only place you can get a cold Sam Adams while looking at the cold Sam Adams.” I don’t know that it’s particularly funny, but it’s...
Moab Giants is a Dinosaur Museum in Utah, and it is a big deal. Like, both literally and figuratively. You can see the literal giant dinosaurs from the highway every time you drive through the town of Moab on your way to Arches National Park. They look real, and they look incredible. Figuratively, they look like they are going...
