You can get anything you want in Ireland. But why would you want McDonald’s, TGIFriday’s or anything else you can get at home? Open yourself to Irish food. If you stay at a B&B- and possibly even a hotel- you will be offered a traditional Irish Breakfast. There is enough food offered at this meal […]
Eating Around St. Louis, Missouri
We had barely three days in St. Louis. That’s not a lot of time to get out and try all the food St. Louis has to offer so I put out an plea and received a few recommendations. Other spots were chosen for their location to our activities. Here’s where we ate during our explorations: […]
Minnesota Renaissance Festival, Shakopee, MN
I lived in the Twin Cities for 10 years and often miss so much of what I took for granted when I was there. One event that we go back for annually is the Minnesota Renaissance Festival. The festival runs weekends from mid-August thru the end of September. Each weekend features a different theme with […]
Dinner with Kids at The Melting Pot in Country Club Plaza, Kansas City, Missouri
As a special treat for our girls we decided to splurge on dinner at The Melting Pot in Country Club Plaza. While you do see children in the restaurant, you don’t see many. I made our reservation online and mentioned that we were bringing our daughters, so it shouldn’t have been a surprise to […]
The Market Place Restaurant, Asheville, North Carolina
A couple of weeks ago I traveled- sans kids– to Asheville, NC to attend a blog conference. Because I flew in the day the conference began and it rained- poured, actually- during my downtime I didn’t get a chance to tour the area. What I did get to experience, however, was one of Asheville’s restaurants. […]
St. Louis Zoo in Forest Park
Who doesn’t love a zoo? St. Louis has an amazing free zoo in Forest Park, one of the largest urban parks in the US. We spent a very enjoyable afternoon here. Although the zoo is free street parking is sparse and it will cost you $11 to park in either the north or south lots. […]
Images from Prelude to Christmas in the Amana Colonies, Iowa
We spent Sunday in one of our favorite Iowa areas: the Amana Colonies. I’ve written many times about the Amana Colonies but I just wanted to share some photos from our day. We visited the Tannenbaum Forest in the Festhalle Barn behind the Visitor’s Center. The girls were both happy to see Santa- he had […]
Union Station in Kansas City, Missouri, USA
Union Station as Viewed from the Westin Crown Center Hotel We’ve been to Kansas City many times yet, somehow, I never knew anything about Union Station. I can plead nothing but ignorance. Luckily I am ignorant no more and can’t wait to return to Kansas City to see and do more at Union Station! The […]
Salem, Massachusetts: More Than Witches
Once in a while traveling with kids and off season can keep you from doing the things a town is famous for. Because, when you think Salem, you think witches. It’s automatic. Kind of like baseball & hot dogs. So when we ventured north of Boston to Salem I fully expected to be taking in […]
Our Stay in Scituate, Massachusetts (Boston’s South Shore)
We were lucky enough to be able to accompany my husband to the Boston area while he was working out here. For 9 weeks we lived in a beautiful house just steps from the ocean in Scituate (pronounced sit-U-it). We found Ocean Perch (I just love a house with a name) at HomeAway.com. After seeing […]
