Where should we go on our next BIG trip?
As my readers know, I am always planning my next trip! I do love the planning process and putting the pieces of a trip together, but I also love the prospect of a one-stop shop. Last year, we took a big 3-week trip to Hawaii, which was really our first big adventure. The kids and I just spent two weeks driving to SW Florida (and back) so now I am thinking about something BIG for late summer 2018.
Where should we head this summer?

How to get from JFK to Manhattan (and General JFK transportation)
Recently, I’ve been flying a lot. In January I went to Cary, North Carolina and Ft. Myers, Florida. Hubby and I love the thrill of getting a low plane fare- we have lots of great tips and tricks for getting cheap & free flights (Which I really need to share soon!). We are lucky to have three airports that serve our area, LaGuardia, JFK and Islip-MacArthur. That alone gives us lots of travel options – but with all things being equal we always try to fly out of JFK. There are so many options to get there, it’s really the most convenient for us. And for that reason, people are always asking me about getting from JFK to Manhattan, or about transportation from JFK to NYC! So I put this post together to help making getting to and from JFK airport a breeze! I’m so excited to share all these great tips for getting to and from JFK like true New Yorker!

I travel to Cary, North Carolina about four times a year. My grandpa, age 106.5 lives there, as do my two aunts who are some of my favorite people in the world.

I would love to live here permanently, but for now I have to settle for frequent visits! I’m so excited to finally be sharing my Cary, North Carolina Travel Guide to help you plan your visit to this area!

Orlando Crayola Experience
I hate winter, so to combat the long stretch of cold ahead, I decided to book a fall Florida getaway with baby girl. We love visiting Orlando – both to escape the cold and to visit our Florida cousins. Every time we visit Orlando, we always find new things to do! On this recent trip, we spent a day at Legoland Florida and a day at Aquatica Orlando, so we wanted some indoor fun, so we decided to check out the Orlando Crayola Experience!

What could make for a better holiday present than an American Girl Doll AND a trip for Tea at American Girl Cafe NYC?
On December 25, 2017, Santa came down our chimney and left this under tree for baby girl:
And in her stocking, baby girl found this:
Talk about making a 6-year old girl’s Christmas wish come true! TIMES 2!!!!!

How to Plan Your Winter Getaway Like a Pro
I feel a little bad because my son has been asking to go skiing for about four years (he is obsessed with Wii-Ski).

But today, Claire is presenting both sides of the coin with her tips on how to plan your winter getaway like a pro!
And just maybe she will convince me that this is the year to in fact take little man to the slopes!
