If you ever find yourself in New England’s charming town of Concord, MA, I highly recommend a stop at the historic Colonial Inn located on the town common, or better known as Monument Square. Here you will find gracious, warm and welcoming hospitality. The inn has been in service for nearly three centuries with the […]
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 […]
Wilderness at the Smokies
After seeing the Wilderness at the Smokies advertised for a couple of years, my family finally had the opportunity to visit this popular destination. Located in Sevierville, Tenn., this property is a bit off the beaten track, meaning it’s not in the heart of the “tourist” scene. That actually is in its favor, because it […]
A Bonding Mother-Daughter Getaway in Portland, Maine
My daughter and I recently spent one night at The Danforth, a small inn in the heart of Portland, Maine, with a lot of history dating back to 1812. From a prohibition hideout to episcopal housing, from boarding school to bank ruins, from Russian fortune to hard luck tales, The Danforth has a rich Maine history. […]
Wingate by Wyndham Concord Perfect for Families
When my family decided to check out the NHRA Carolina Nationals at zMAX Dragway, we started searching for hotel accommodations in Charlotte, N.C., which is approximately 25 minutes from the racetrack. I had stayed in uptown (what the locals call the downtown area) Charlotte several times over the last few years, so that’s where I […]

Little did we know that we would be experiencing a completely blissful stay that would raise our bar for family travel forever moving forward. Inn By the Sea offers spacious, modern, […]
Hyatt Atlanta Perimeter at Villa Christina
When Hyatt announced it was building a new hotel alongside Villa Christina in Atlanta, I thought it was a good fit given the number of weddings the restaurant hosts each year. What I didn’t realize is what a great hotel it would be for any occasion – or none at all. With a location convenient to […]

If you’re looking for a family-friendly getaway from New York City or Boston, look no further than Lake Morey Resort in Fairlee, Vermont. Located on a 600-acre lake surrounded by greenery, boats of all shapes and sizes, summer homes and a golf course, you’ll not find a resort this much fun and activity packed for […]
Four Seasons Resort Orlando at Walt Disney World Resort: Pure Perfection
A couple weeks ago, my husband and I spent a night, Grand Opening night, at Four Seasons Resort Orlando at Walt Disney World Resort. I was thrilled to be a part of this special night. The resort staff made us feel very comfortable and right at home. It was also exciting to know that we were the first […]
A New York City Staycation
A few weeks ago, my 11-year old daughter and I spent a night at the Residence Inn in Central Park. We had no idea before our arrival that we were headed to North America’s tallest hotel! The 68-story building houses some of the best views in the city, without a doubt. The views from our […]
