Exploring St. Augustine
Spring break is just around the corner, so what better time to take the family to one of Florida’s most popular destinations: St. Augustine.

U2 and The Sphere – A Match Made for Las Vegas

Seemingly untouched by the building boom that has hit most of the coastline […]
Set Sail for a Fun, Family Vacation
By Danielle Hauser Cruise ships are a great place to relax and enjoy time with your loved ones. As seasoned cruisers, many of our family’s fondest memories come from past sailings to the Caribbean. Our kids Ryan,16, and Charlotte, 13, still recall the excitement of exploring the large ships, so it’s no wonder they have […]
Disney World vs. Disneyland
What does a Disney-loving Florida family do as a final hurrah before the last kid flies the nest? They board a plane and fly 2,504 miles to visit Disneyland. I mean, that makes sense, right? We had always wanted to see the original park in person and two of the four of us had never […]
