Last week I was so lucky to head to Bermuda with my friend for four nights without kiddos! Yep…I said it…NO KIDDOS!! Our first stop was the Fourways Inn for two nights. Instead of a tradition hotel building, the inn features a cottage colony, with 11 units to choose from so you feel like a small community rather than just another room in a hotel.
Newpark Hotel
Â
Tucked away in the Irish countryside, Kilkenny is about an hour’s drive from Dublin. It’s a great stopping point to visit Jerpoint Abbey and, of course, Kilkenny Castle. Located on the edge of Kilkenny City, the Newpark Hotel offers the perfect place to call home while exploring the area. The hotel rests on 40 acres of beautiful parkland and there are endless things for families to do together.

Red Jacket Beach Resorts in Cape Cod
Â
Cape Cod is one of my favorite New England beach destinations that’s filled with the perfect mix of relaxation and family fun. While on the Cape last month, we had the pleasure of staying at the Red Jacket Beach Resort. (Click here for the full review.) The best thing about staying at a Red Jacket Resort is you can use the amenities of all five Red Jacket Resorts. This makes planning so easy and gives you endless options of fun activities. While we were there we were able to tour the other four resorts, and we were so impressed with each one. We even went back to a few of them the next day to play. Here are some of the things we liked best about each resort:

Blue Water Resort
The resort is set on a gorgeous white sand beach.
After a long school year full of homework, studying for tests, and early mornings, my girls deserved some fun in the sun. So where did we escape to? To the beautiful beaches of Cape Cod of course! Our first stop was to Pleasant Bay Village Resort in the quaint town of Chatham. This family-owned resort is in the perfect central location in the elbow of Cape Cod.
It is already April in New Hampshire and it is STILL SNOWING! Seriously, I don’t know who made Mother Nature angry, but she’s not letting us forget who is in charge. Thanks to the Hotel Tonight App we were reviewing, we were able to choose from a number of hotels to stay in. We had two criteria: it had to have a pool and we wanted to smell the ocean from our room. The Ashworth by the Sea gave us this and much more.
At times I like to travel with just one of my daughters so we can spend some quality one-on-one time together.  Recently, I was so pleased to be able to stay at the Cape Codder Resort and Spa, in Hyannis, with my youngest. After looking at the website and seeing the hotel has a water park, she could hardly stop talking about it. The hotel did not disappoint and we had a fabulous time playing throughout our stay. The hotel is located near several beautiful Cape Cod beaches, and near many restaurants and adorable shop.Â
My kids are so fun to travel with, but every once in a while, it’s nice to be alone to relax. Since the end of the school year is full of obligations, I thought this would be a great time to rejuvenate before the final stretch of school, and the Lake Opechee Inn and Spa was the perfect place to go. I couldn’t have imagined how relaxed I would feel when I left.Â
The Port Inn, Portsmouth, NH
 
Portsmouth, New Hampshire is one of my favorite coastal towns in New England. The town is dear to my heart because we had our wedding reception in town and since then have created many family memories here. Portsmouth is only an hour north of Boston and just over the bridge from Maine.
When looking for a hotel in Portsmouth, location is key. The Port Inn is centrally located and has amazing accommodations for the entire family. Please click below to read all about our stay at the Port Inn.
If you are looking for fun, affordable accommodations when visiting Kennebunkport, Maine, The Rhumb Line Resort may be just what you need. The Rhumb Line Resort is located one mile from downtown Kennebunkport and one mile from Walker’s Point. It is an easy drive if you are venturing out and it is on the trolley route, which is a fun way to get to town. It is located close to beautiful Maine beaches, shopping areas, and lots of amazing restaurants.  The wooded area around the resort makes for a quiet atmosphere that’s perfect for relaxation.

The Nonantum Resort is one of the most beautiful resorts in Maine and I can’t say enough about how attentive and kind the staff is. Whether you’re looking for a romantic weekend, a relaxing getaway, or a fun-filled family adventure, this is the resort to look at. It is located in the quaint seaside village of Kennebunkport, Maine and it resides on the banks of the Kennebunk River. The location is perfect for exploring the town and there are ample restaurants, shops, and art galleries nearby. (Not to mention some pretty amazing ice cream shops.)
