Favorite Vacation Memory
Visiting Machu Picchu with my older son when he was 2 1/2. My husband had returned to the US because of a work issue, but I decided to stay and visit Cusco + Machu Picchu on my own with a preschooler. It was much, much easier than it might sound.
Worst Travel Moment With My Kids:
Being stuck on the tarmac in Heathrow for 4+ hours with a toddler who'd broken his arm the day before. Hideous!

Seattle Parks and Playgrounds

If I'm planning a trip anywhere - particularly to visit a new city - I usually take a look at the map of our destination before we arrive and make sure I know where there are parks and playgrounds where my children can go run around and let off steam.

Since we live in Seattle and I have very active children, I've spent many hours at many parks around the city. Here's a list of some of my favorites. (You can get a full list with maps and driving directions here: www.seattle.gov/PARKS/)

1. Green Lake

2. Gasworks Park

3. Olympic Sculpture Park
