Sometimes where you stay on vacation is more of an adventure than the actual destination. I’ve always been fascinated by the paranormal. I think that stems from stories my grandmother used to tell about the Faierie Folk of her youth in Ireland. Sadly, I can’t say that I’ve ever encountered a Banshee, Wood Sprite or even an everyday ghost. Still, I love to steep myself -and my family- in stories of things that go bump in the night. Often these tales serve to teach a lesson, inspire the imagination or even tell the stories of our history.
It’s cold and rainy outside and the kids are going stir crazy inside. But where to go so they can play yet you won’t be swallowed by crowds and stuck spending a small fortune? An historic and somewhat hidden spot located in Philadelphia’s East Fairmount Park may hold the answer.
There's more to Seven Springs Resort and Spa than skiing. In fact, a recent summertime trip found that the resort has something going on for kids and grownups alike all year round. My husband and I spent a rare night away from the kids and found more to do at the resort than we possibly could have scheduled.
The Capitol Hill Hotel is changing its name but it is still a hotel of suites, which all families know are key to family travel bliss. That and free breakfast, which is also included. The name and the soft goods are changing but the room layouts will be the same – 152 two-room suites with kitchenettes.
If you live in New York, especially in my neighborhood in Queens, the sight of a Succah is something familiar. The Jewish holiday of Sukkot, one that celebrates the Fall harvest, has Jews from around the world on vacation and enjoying the great outdoors. When a Jewish holiday coincides with a family vacation, there is no shortage of activities.
I can’t be the only one who’s jealous of my children when I get letters from camp describing how much fun they are having on the zip line, canoeing on the lake, hiking in the woods and making friendship bracelets. What if moms could do all that – and get a massage? If you’ve never thought of Canyon Ranch as the ultimate mom sleep away camp, you should.
