6 Reasons You Should Visit California On Your Next Vacation

October 22, 2020 by Kathryn 6 Comments

My family has taken a lot of vacations over the years, and discovered a lot of places to love. And one of the most fun-filled trips we ever took was to beautiful California.

When people think of California, places like Hollywood, Silicon Valley and the Napa Valley wine region tend to spring to mind. But the state has so much more than just that to offer!

Southern California is full of activities for families, and no city is quite as full of things to do with kids as San Diego and its surrounding area! From beaches to amusement parks and everything in between, it’s easy to spend an entire vacation in the city and not run out of things to do.

After two days exploring Buena Park, California on our family’s recent California vacation, we made our way to the San Diego area for a few days, and we packed a lot into our time there. If you’re looking for the best things to do in San Diego with kids, these eleven attractions in three different areas are ones you’ll want to check out!

Two Days of Family-Friendly Fun in Buena Park, California

October 17, 2019 by Kathryn 33 Comments

While most people know that Anaheim, California is the home of Disneyland, far fewer people know that Buena Park, just 15 minutes away, is the home of Knott’s Berry Farm, the oldest theme park in the United States. And while Knott’s Berry Farm is by far Buena Park’s biggest attraction, it’s only one of the many kid-friendly activities the city has to offer!

Recently, my family had the chance to visit Buena Park for two days to experience all the highlights of the area.

The Plantations of New Orleans – Exploring the History of Louisiana’s Slave Trade

August 30, 2019 by Kathryn 53 Comments

On our recent visit to Louisiana, I knew I wanted to get outside the cities and explore some of the history of the Southern state. The glitz and energy of New Orleans is appealing, but there’s also so much to learn when in the area.

Visiting a plantation was one of those educational experiences that I knew I didn’t want to miss. Louisiana plantations, unlike those in other Southern states, mainly grew sugarcane. And due to the state’s Creole influence, the plantations of New Orleans themselves have some unique features.

My family had the chance to visit many different plantations in the New Orleans Plantation Country area, and if you’re planning a trip and wondering which one or two you should visit, look no further. These are my thoughts on four of Louisiana’s most popular plantation tours. [Read more…]

July 15, 2019 by Kathryn 15 Comments

travel feature info

Is there anyone that doesn’t love the spicy flavour of classic Tabasco sauce? In our family, the answer is definitely a resounding, “No!” And so on our recent vacation to Louisiana, when the city of Lafayette gave us the opportunity to check out the nearby Tabasco Factory Tour on Avery Island, we couldn’t have been happier.

Located about 45 minutes from Lafayette and just over two hours from New Orleans, Avery Island is a top tourist destination and a great spot for families. The island boasts the Tabasco Factory Tour on one side of the highway and the Jungle Gardens Tour on the other.

We headed to the island in the early morning planning to do both, and the boys couldn’t wait to get started. Planning your own trip to Avery Island? Here are the highlights you won’t want to miss! [Read more…]
