Heritage Museums and Gardens mytravelingkids.com

When I go to Cape Cod, it is all about relaxing and recharging.  I love all the beautiful beaches and taking long walks while shopping in downtown areas.  When I travel I like to take in the culture of my destination and Heritage Museum and Gardens, located in Sandwich, is the perfect place to experience classic Cape Cod.  There is something for everyone here and a lovely way to spend half a day.  Let me tell you about my day at this unique spot.

Foodies, take note: your dream destination exists here in Tampa, FL. Epicurean Hotel offers a unique take on the hotel concept. They have strived to create a culinary-focused experience for their guests – one that combines a love of great food and wine with an equally strong desire to create lasting memories for all who pass through their doors. Although my kids and I had an amazing time at this hotel, it is probably a hotel I’d choose for a romantic night away with my husband or a girl’s weekend.  Click below for our experience.

Reflections Spa

When we travel, we are always on the go and I often forget to leave time for relaxation.  When we go to theme parks in Orlando it often involves crowds, endless lines, and aching feet.  But all that changed when I stepped into Reflections Spa, located in the Lake Buena Vista Resort Village and Spa.  They offer many treatments such as massages, facials, manicures and pedicures.  But the treatments are not your typical ones…they include elements from nature such as stones, warm milk, honey, coconut water, and cane sugar.  Click below to read all about my experience at this spa.

Lake Buena Vista Resort Village and Spa

The Lake Buena Vista Resort Village and Spa is an amazing choice when considering accommodations while in Orlando, Florida.  Personally, I feel like a vacation is so much more enjoyable when my family has enough room to spread out.  This resort offers spacious accommodations, great restaurants, and a pool that your kids will flip over.  I don’t know why people would cram into a small hotel room when they have options such as this.

Ripley’s Believe it or Not Odditorium, Orlando

Ripley's Odditoium Orldano mytravelingkids.com

This place is hands-down the weirdest place we’ve ever been to…and we LOVED it! Every room was odder than the last one and you experience hysterical sensory overload as you go from room to room.  There are so many crazy, unexpected items in this museum that I don’t even know where to start.  How about if I take you on a little tour of some of our favorite moments?

Blue Heron Beach Resort

Why would you want to crowd your whole family into a tiny hotel room when you can stay at a resort with 2-3 bedrooms, fabulous pools, and more than enough space for everyone to spread out?  My family just returned from a trip to Orlando and we had the pleasure of staying at the Blue Heron Beach Resort.  The staff was so kind and we felt like we were in a home away from home.  Click below to read my full review of this amazing resort.
