Fuel Prices and the Great American Vacation
Tuesday, September 9th, 2008Now that summer’s officially over - my kids were annoyed by my obvious glee while shopping for school supplies - it’s time that we traditionally settle in for a stretch of homebody behavior. The Traveling Mamas each had our own favorite trips this summer, as did, hopefully, a lot of Americans. Vacations are important [...]

In light of this, last year the Walt Disney World Corp. created an online forum called the Moms Panel; the site provides tips for guests visiting the park.

You Know Your Daughter Will Be A Traveling Mama When…
Wednesday, September 3rd, 2008My kids have the travel bug. They’re always asking to go somewhere and when we travel they never ask to go home. As I watch my daughter gear up for a trip I see my “mini-me” is just that and there is no doubt she will one day will be a Traveling Mama herself.

Air Travel Gets Worse - The Top 9 Stingiest Airlines
Thursday, August 28th, 2008It has probably happened to all of us. We dutifully get to the airport 2 hours early, take off our shoes to pass through security, and watch as the TSA guy throws out our forgotten full-size tube of toothpaste. Watch out, that thing could blow up any minute!
The individual airline companies have little - or [...]
Denver’s Big Blue Bear
Wednesday, August 27th, 2008A few weeks ago during our trip to Denver my parents took my kiddos and I on a tour through the city to see several pieces of Denver’s over-sized art collection.
The first piece we saw was as we were driving down Pena Boulevard leaving DIA - a giant blue mustang with fiery red eyes. Although, [...]
Odd Roadside Attractions
Monday, August 25th, 2008Road trips can be a fun time to reconnect with the family, play cheesy road games, or even make random stops along the way. When I hit the road in RedBugg, I always like to seek out the bizarre and kooky roadside attractions that can still be found along America’s highways and byways.

Celebration, Florida: Freaky Fake Town or Slice of Paradise?
Friday, August 22nd, 2008Are any of our readers familiar with Celebration, Florida? This is the Disney-planned community in Osceola County, Florida (2.5 miles from Walt Disney World Resort). About 3,500 people live in the town that’s modeled after a “southern American village from the 1930s.”
I visited Celebration a couple years ago with some friends who live in Orlando. [...]
Conquering the Lemon Squeezer at Lost River Gorge & Boulder Caves
Thursday, August 21st, 2008You know how after you do something physically challenging you feel really, really great about yourself? Especially when it’s one of those “conquer the fear” types of things?
I have to say that skydiving in Deland, Florida, was definitely one of those challenges that scared me silly, but also made me feel afterwards like shouting, “I [...]
