Walt Disney World’s EPCOT celebrates 30 years today. There’s some great merchandise out to celebrate the milestone. As always, shopping is one of my favorite things! But I wanted to celebrate today with some fun facts about EPCOT. • Epcot was opened 1st October 1982 after three years of construction. • The pavements at Epcot…
You can’t go to Disney, at least with me, and not do some shopping. It’s just not right. There are some great new items this year to explore at the EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival. Check out the latest from Disney…. (I’m really excited about the beer-themed merchandise this year!)
Legoland Florida is home to a new water park. It’s definitely fun and wet and the kids will love it. Let me preface this by saying, we are frequent visitors of Disney water parks. And Legoland is no Disney. It’s not bad, but different, so you have to go with that thought in mind. First…
I expected to see legos at Legoland – obviously. But I guess I didn’t really expect the attention to detail that I saw. Everywhere you looked, legos. Little lizards on trees, a bird sitting on a fence, lego flowers mixed into a real flower bed. I think the most impressive part was Mini Land. Seeing…
The whole family gets really depressed when our beach vacation ends. We all want to be retired. But unfortunately, that’s not possible…at least yet. But each year, I try to get my kids to make some sort of craft so we can remember the trip. It usually involves me trying to get them to do…

One of our favorite vacation spots in the world, Marco Island. Each year we rent a boat and explore the 10,000 Islands. One day, I really would like to live on one of the islands. But until that point, I’ll just pretend. We anchor the boat at Rookery Bay and fish, swim and go shelling.…

A bonus of spending the Fourth of July on Marco Island. A surprise boat parade down the waterfront.
It’s vacation time! We are lucky enough to travel each year to Marco Island. If you like the beach, hot temperatures, boating and shelling, this is the perfect place. There are also a number of great little beach bars – so it’s the perfect family destination! There are a number of other options- but most…
The Cheetah Hunt commercials have suckered my kids into really wanting to go to Busch Gardens. So part of our mini-spring break we managed to make it to the park. I just love this place. It’s so pretty, so clean and they have some great rides. We also picked the perfect day because it…
