About Me & My Family

We are a busy family with 3 kids and we don't sit still. When we aren't running off to scouts, dance, sports, etc., we really enjoy spending time as a family. If we have a day we will try to find someplace local to explore. If we have a weekend we go a little further. Give us a week and we can really pack it in. We are always on the lookout for family friendly destinations (especially hotels which seem so hard to find!). Our vacations are not spent floating in the pool...they are spent exploring the area to its fullest!

Favorite Vacation Memory
My daughter is such a pip and thinks the hotel is the destination. If we do sightseeing along the way she just keeps asking "when are we going to get to the hotel?" She loves checking out our new "home away from home" and she LOVES the fact that she gets to share a room with someone!!
Worst Travel Moment With My Kids:

"Railroad Heaven"
My boys have always loved trains.  Here, their eyes nearly bugged out when they saw they were surrounded by so many REAL trains!  They loved climbing aboard and exploring.  There is an outside train yard as well.  The staff was very friendly and helpful.  Kids 2 and under are free, the bigger kids have to pay to enjoy this place.

This is conveniently located DIRECTLY across the street from the Strasburg Railroad.  For a complete all-day itinerary Visit the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania, walk across the street to the RR and take a ride on the train and then after that is done head down the road to the National Toy Train Museum.  If you didn't love trains before you got here you will certainly love them when you leave!
