Our Favorite Vacation Spot
Wherever we go next....thanks to Trekaroo, I always have a great group of reviews to help me plan a fantastic vacation!
A Place We'd Love To Visit
During the winter, anywhere with snow and easy airport access. Golfing has become a new passion!
Favorite Vacation Memory
One of my favorite vacation memories was seeing my daughter splashing in the Boca Beach Club kiddie pool. The first time she saw snow in Park City, Utah at the Park City Mountain Resort. She's still talking about ski school years later! Visiting Cancun! The Innisbrook Golf Resort and Spa near Tampa Bay, Florida - be sure to read my reviews about the resort and their Indaba Spa. What an amazing experience! A holiday in France (wonderful home exchange--thanks for the ideas on Trekaroo!) Visiting Tybee Island, Georgia. The lighthouse tour and beaches are a family favorite!
Worst Travel Moment With My Kids:
Dangerous weather conditions or any other unexpected airport delay. Security delays at the airport!

"Nice boardwalk and canoe trails"
This is a wonderful park for canoe adventures or nature explorations along the boardwalk. The playground is nice and shady, close to restrooms, and the visitor's center. We've spotted birds, alligators, turtles, and fish within minutes of our nature walks. Pack a picnic lunch and enjoy the day out in the sunshine.

Park rangers offer free guided nature tours on Saturday and Sunday mornings at 8:30. Bring water and your camera. There's lots to see!

Check the park website for a schedule of Ranger led Nature Programs which are offered for a nominal fee.

"Be camera ready!"
Wandering among all of the beautiful butterflies while the snow falls outside is an amazing experience! The lobby area offers educational displays and a short video about butterfly migration, life, and habitat details. Once in the rainforest like conservatory, we wandered along the winding path and marveled at the variety of colorful butterflies which ranged in size and activity level. Please remind the kids not to touch the butterflies which might be challenging as they do land on you often. Be sure to wear bright, butterfly friendly colors if you want one to land on you!

"bounce house, dress up, and more"
Our moms club likes to meet up at Gator Freds for many reasons. Our kids really enjoy it, the costs are reasonable, it is clean, family owned and operated, and there's even WiFi! We may see you there!

Remember to bring socks - required for playing in Gator Town - or you'll have to purchase some there.

From 6-8pm on the third Tuesday each month, there are special sessions for Autism Spectrum families.

Check their website for specials and Like them on Facebook.

"Yankees Spring Training!"
Legends Field is the Spring Training home of the New York Yankees. The field is centrally located in Tampa and is very easy to get to even in heavy traffic. Parking is plentiful and relatively affordable. The stadium offers a great view of the field from every seat. It's a great place to watch a baseball game!

"Pirate ship in the end zone!"
NFL Bucs fans love coming to games to cheer on the team especially because of the giant pirate ship in the end zone that fires real cannons when the team scores! The concession stands in the end zones are designed to look like seaside villages which adds to the charm of the place. Parking is easy and getting to the games is a breeze. There are always tickets available on game day which makes last minute plans possible.
