The Hershey Lodge: Your Sweet Spot in Hershey, PA
Hershey Lodge in Hershey, Penn., goes all-in with its chocolate theme. As it should be in “The Sweetest Place on Earth.” If the bedside chocolate kisses and cocoa-infused shampoo and conditioner don’t delight you, surely the specialty desserts and chocolate martinis will. The lobby welcomed us with its cozy wood and stone décor. The smell […]
Remembering Our Roots in Plymouth
With waterfront beauty and small-town ambiance, Plymouth, Mass., oozes with American history and charm. A visit to Plymouth might have you stepping back in time, spotting a humpback whale, strolling along the beach, exploring Burial Hill, or shopping and dining along Main Street. There’s a lot to do, but at the same time, there’s not […]
Happy Birthday, Mr. President
OK, so maybe it wasn’t the President’s birthday – but it was my son’s. When I asked him what he wanted to do to celebrate, he told me he wanted to “finally” see Monticello, the home of Thomas Jefferson (third president of the USA and the principal author of the Declaration of Independence). “Finally” is a […]

But we were at a theme park. Diggerland USA is a construction-themed adventure park where children and their families drive, ride, […]

Family-friendly New Orleans
I love New Orleans – the architecture, the people, and, of course, the food. My earliest memories of the Crescent City come from a family vacation when I was around 5 years old. I can vividly recall standing at our hotel window in the Marriott on Canal Street watching the river traffic head up and […]

Fun in the Sun at Myrtle Beach
My last visit to Myrtle Beach, S.C., was almost eight years ago, when my daughter was just 6 months old. Obviously, we didn’t explore many of the area’s family-friendly activities other than the hotel pool. This time around, though, I was more than ready to see what would capture the interest of my daughter, now […]
