Train Like an Astronaut at Kennedy Space Center

By Samantha

NASCAR: Family-Friendly Fun Beyond the Track

By Karon Warren

Races on NASCAR track

When watching a NASCAR race on TV, naturally the cameras stay focused on what’s happening on the track, in the pits and back in the garage. After all, that’s what the fans came to see, right? Of course. But for fans who actually attend a NASCAR race, there is so much more going on before […]

Drag Racing: High-Speed Action for All

By Karon Warren

Funny Car drag racing

It’s no secret that I love drag racing; after all, I grew up with the sport. My father was a sportsman racer (the category for non-professional drag racers), so my parents took us kids to the track from the time we were babies. I grew up watching my dad work on his race car, both […]

After a little research online, I decided Shaker Village would be an interesting and informative destination for me and my children, ages 9 and 6. So we, along with my friend Stephanie and […]

Two NYC Walking Tours Kids Will Love

By Holly Rosen Fink

I’ve been living in the NYC metro area for a long time now, so I didn’t think I had a need for walking tours…until recently. When two invitations for walking tours came my way that had to do with Broadway and desserts, I had a total mind change. So I grabbed the kids and joined […]

By Karon Warren

Exterior

When I heard there was a Merry-Go-Round Museum in Sandusky, Ohio, I added it to my itinerary right away. I mean, who doesn’t love riding a merry-go-round? And having the opportunity to learn the history behind this iconic ride couldn’t be passed up. So, on our last morning in Sandusky, my friend Stephanie and her […]

Planning a Family Weekend in Wine Country

By Tamara Gruber

cornerstone

A family weekend in Wine Country sounds like a bit of a misnomer, but I’m a firm believer that you can take kids anywhere – it just takes planning, compromise, and a bit of balance. Luckily there is so much to do in Sonoma County, California to make the whole family happy. Less than an […]
