Best Hotels Walking Distance to Disneyland
Wondering which hotels are the best hotels walking distance to Disneyland? You’ve come to the right place. One day at any Disney park will have you walking more steps in that day than you probably typically get in a week. It’s a long day on your feet. And when the day is over, the last thing you want to do is stand in another long line to get a shuttle or Uber. That’s why I love staying close to the park. And lucky for you, I’ve compiled a list of the best hotels walking distance to Disneyland. While many hotels claim to be walking distance, some are stretching the truth…

Luckily for people visiting San Diego (or for locals wanting to venture downtown), we have The Old Spaghetti Factory in San Diego. When looking for kid-friendly restaurants in San Diego, I search for restaurants that offer menu options kids love, a convenient location, and an affordable price. Somewhere that would work for families who are staying in the downtown area, or who want to grab a bite to eat before heading…

Relaxing Getaway at Jacumba Hot Springs Hotel
Last weekend, my girlfriends and I treated ourselves to a little desert escape at the Jacumba Hot Springs Hotel—and let me tell you, it was exactly what we needed. we had originally planned to make a weekend out of it, but life quickly got busy with youth sports and other obligations.

It ended up being the perfect blend of relaxation, good food, and fun vibes. Brunch + Drinks at Jacumba Hot Springs Hotel First things…

Family-Friendly Tahiti Village: Your Vegas Oasis
Las Vegas is a great destination for drinking, partying and gambling. But, it can also be a great family destination. In fact, Las Vegas is home to many youth cheer competitions and sports tournaments. And it makes for a great stopping point on longer road trips. I’ve been to Vegas several times, with and without kids. I definitely enjoy staying on the strip when I am without kids, but The Tahiti Village-Las Vegas, located just south of the strip, is one of my favorite Las Vegas resorts for kids. Pools at Tahiti Village-Las Vegas If you’ve read some of my other blog posts, it’s probably pretty obvious that I love…
