So, because I have so much free time (ha ha) I decided to start a new online community dedicated to flying with kids called Kids Fly Happy. It’s a work in progress, but I’m enjoying it quite a bit.
I will never, ever forget how nervous I was to fly with La Jolla Girl for the [...]

I was recently introduced to a website called Trekaroo which is dedicated entirely to travel with kids. Similar to Yelp, you can rate and review places that you’ve been and also check out recommendations from other families about places you’re going. It’s very helpful, check it out! This weeks stop is in San Diego, featuring [...]

Living overseas for 7 years, resulted in a lot of travel all over the planet both pre and post La Jolla Girl. I’ve made a list of some of my favorite travel companions. Believe me, I’ve cycled through a lot of travel related stuff and I have personally purchased everything on the list below.

I hesitated making the effort to take La Jolla Girl to Disney World when the chances of her remembering it are slim. Would she appreciate it? Would she patiently wait in the lines? Would it be worth the $$$?
At first, I thought a week in Orlando would be too much. I was wrong. It actually allowed [...]

We debated whether or not to visit Sea World Orlando. Sea World San Diego is 8 minutes from our house and we go there a lot. But thanks to the folks at Sea World Orlando, we received complimentary passes. So I thought it would be interesting to compare the two and talk about why someone [...]

As you may know, we spent the last week in Orlando on vacation. At the time of booking, we were unaware that the Epcot International Food and Wine Festival was going on. It was a totally welcome surprise. We were so busy around the time of our departure that I didn’t have time to really [...]

For our trip, I downloaded a series of iPhone Apps that I’ve read or been told about. Bubbles, so far, has been the clear winner. I paid $.99 for it. Some websites say it’s free, but it’s not anymore. Definitely worth the $$$ for the distraction. Whenever La Jolla Girl is [...]

As we were struggling to get to Orlando, FL yesterday I kept asking myself this question. I’ve heard stories about how back in the early days of commercial flight, people would put on their best clothes for what seemed like a happy, civilized experience. Today, it seems like a means to an end. What happened?
Quickly, [...]

As you probably know, we are headed to Orlando for a week tomorrow morning. La Jolla Dad found an awesome deal on American Airlines Vacations so we decided to go. I should mention that my house will be occupied in our absence.
I’ve never been to Disney World. I grew up in the [...]

The sweet bear in this swimming pool was once stuck in a metal cage not much larger than it’s body, unable to move, never once let out, for years and years. I can’t remember his or her name or story in particular but I love this photo for many reasons. This bear was rescued and there [...]
