Take Me to the Varsity in Atlanta, Georgia | What’ll Ya Have: A Restaurant Review with Kids
Catherine - 0
One does not simply go to Atlanta and skip the Varsity. The Varsity is an icon, a celebration, a landmark and an institution. It also serves up some boiled hot dogs, chili and their trademark orange drink to boot. And while maybe that might not sound like much, the Varsity is Atlanta defined. For as long as Gabriel can...

Pop Century Hotel Stay: Our Family Trip to Walt Disney World at the Worst Hotel Disney Has to Offer, Orlando, Florida
Catherine - 2
We’ve stayed at every type of resort Disney has to offer. And while we’ve mostly enjoyed our stays, we can, and will, and want to, freely admit that some visits have been more magical than others. The value resorts at Walt Disney World are catered towards families on a budget, which is hilarious considering the nightly price tag, and...

Our Family’s Second Adventure at Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party at Walt Disney World: Take Two
Catherine - 0
It’s no secret we love Halloween. It was my Grandmother’s favorite holiday, and she passed on her love for it to me. Our family copied her idea for a black Halloween tree with eyeballs for ornaments, a papier-mâché undead bride sits on our mantle, we’ve already made festive cupcakes with blood spilling out of them, and we have spiderwebs completely...

In addition to the shrine and temple, there are deer covering the island that walk with you and steal all your food, and a gondola ride...
Located inside the Panama Canal, Monkey Island is a round little patch of land floating in the middle of Gatun Lake located north of the Miraflores Lockes. It’s a tiny little island covered in wildlife, foliage and best of all - wild monkeys of course!
What makes Monkey Island in Panama such a perfect activity is that you get the...
Iceland is an enamoring country where in winter the locals walk outside to go snowboarding, in summer they write books under the midnight sun, have a crime rate that is so low even the police don’t carry guns, and celebrate Christmas in Iceland with 13 different Santa Clauses!
Iceland is one of the top 10 most festive places to celebrate...
We traveled to Norway with one purpose in mind, and that was to see the Northern Lights.
