Thursday, August 14th, 2008Williamsburg, VA is the first REAL vacation this Traveling Mama ever experienced. My brother was too young to go, so I had my parents all to myself as I experienced Colonial Williamsburg with its living history. In fact, I still have the Martha Washington rag doll I begged my parents for and I recall sleeping [...]
Family Travel Adventures by Disney - Grand Canyon National Park
Thursday, August 14th, 2008The Grand Canyon! It’s probably the most famous of all the US National Parks, and many of our family vacation group’s members said they were most looking forward to seeing it for the first time. The Adventures By Disney Southwest Splendors tour schedule had us arriving at the Grand Canyon midway through the trip through [...]
Secrets for Families in Oak Ridge, TN
Monday, August 11th, 2008When I first heard of Oak Ridge, TN, I thought of the country group, The Oak Ridge Boys. Back in my younger years (11?) we would all go around singing “Elvira” in the deepest voice we could manage. Well, the Oak Ridge Boys aren’t even from Oak Ridge, but that’s a whole ‘nother story. Oak [...]
Top Family Activities in the Keys
Friday, August 8th, 2008I’m hooked on Key West. There. I’ve admitted my problem. I went for the first time in May and then decided I needed a return trip to make sure the magic of the Keys was real. So, I used a mother/daughter getaway as an excuse, and guess what? It is still awesome! Now I get it. Everyone [...]
Hiking American Lake Trail in Aspen
Thursday, August 7th, 2008Regular readers know I talk a lot about my home state of Colorado (that’s the state flower, the Columbine, at left). I really can’t help it, since I love, love where I live. I happen to reside near a resort town in the mountains, and I do take advantage of the cultural and outdoor opportunities [...]
Family Travel Adventures by Disney - Sedona, Arizona
Wednesday, August 6th, 2008The Disney Corporation invests a lot of resources in research and development. This is seen in Disney theme parks and movies, of course, but nowhere is it more evident than in their Disney-branded family travel packages.
The Mudslide family enjoyed our Adventures By Disney Southwest Splendors trip even more than we thought we would. It hit [...]
Mamma Mia! Filmed on the Greek Island of Skopelos
Tuesday, August 5th, 2008So, who’s seen the musical movie Mamma Mia! with Meryl Streep, Pierce Brosnan and Colin Firth? I did last weekend, and MAN did it make me want to go to a Greek Island!
I mean, all those tanned folks, pretty whitewashed buildings, cool blue water, nifty rock outcroppings, the history, the heritage… really, the movie is [...]
Family Friendly Florida Keys Resort
Thursday, July 31st, 2008Little CajunMama (LCM) and I decided that we needed to get away from our men folk and take a girls trip. I was looking forward to spending quality one on one time with my daughter. She was excited to just GO (her favorite word). We both love the sun and beach, but needed someplace that [...]
Family Travel Adventures by Disney - Montezuma Castle National Monument
Monday, July 28th, 2008The Mudslide family is feeling lucky to be starting one of the Adventures by Disney; we are part of a group touring the US Southwest National Parks in an Adventures by Disney trip called Southwest Splendors. This is only the second year of the Southwest Splendors Disney vacation package, but so far, our guides [...]
Desert and Mudslide Families Meet
Saturday, July 26th, 2008A few weeks back I began a string of posts about the DesertFamily’s West Coast Swing Roadtrip. We covered a lot of miles. We stopped in Huntington Beach, San Mateo County, the Mendocino Coast, San Luis Obispo, Solvang and San Diego.
Our first stop in Huntington Beach was extra special because we were able to spend [...]
