Making educational family travel dreams
I have to admit that I was anti cruises. I’m not great at resort stay-in-one-place style travelling so the thought of being stuck on a boat at sea – how boring ! If I was going to be bored, imagine entertaining a child on board a ship. No thanks. Not to mention, is it even […]
We travelled with our 6-year-old son to the Waikato countryside in New Zealand to visit the infamous ‘Hobbiton Movie Set’. Prior to our arrival I had been reading part of JRR Tolkien novel ‘The Hobbit’ to our son so he could have more of an understanding of what it was about and be taken on […]
We travelled on Royal Caribbean’s ‘Ovation of the Seas’ cruise ship with our 6-year-old Kidsetter on route to New Zealand over New Year’s Eve. After boarding the ship, locating our cabin, attending the safety induction, it was time to kick back and relax ! We checked our Kidsetter into the Explorers Kids Club each day […]
We travelled with our 6-year-old Kidsetter to Legoland California, staying at the Legoland Resort. What a treat ! This is the ultimate experience for Lego buffs. Legoland Resort sets the tone for fun immediately. We checked in and our Kidsetter was given a scavenger hunt to complete. Once all clues were compiled, he held […]
SeaWorld San Diego took me by surprise when we visited with our 6-year-old Kidsetter. I expected the usual theme park rides, shows and fun atmosphere but what I didn’t expect was the consistent theme of teaching children about marine animals in a fun loving and interactive way. We began our day at SeaWorld […]
Our 7-week road trip across the USA took us far and wide. We came across a small town called Bluff on the way to our next destination being Monument Valley. This pit stop turned out to be one of the best stops we made during our journey. Bluff Fort Historical Site is full of amusing […]
It doesn’t get much more fun camping out under the amazing starlit sky in Utah. It’s every kid’s dream and most adults as well. But you need to be prepared and to do it in style ! After a long 4 hour drive from the amazing Capitol Reef National Park we arrived off Highway […]
We were travelling from Capitol Reef National Park to Bryce Canyon. I had heard of this enchanting state park called ‘Goblin Valley’. As it was a short detour on the way to some of the larger Utah parks, we had to experience first-hand this unusual terrain. The strange and colorful valley is unlike […]
Hollywood Boulevard is a Los Angeles cultural icon, with museums, landmarks and other Hollywood attractions that celebrate L.A.’s rich film and entertainment heritage. Whilst travelling around California we wanted to make a day trip to the iconic Hollywood with our 6-year-old Kidsetter. Hollywood has certainly cleaned up since the last visit I had which was 20 […]
Travelling to Santa Monica with our 6-year-old Kidsetter was loads of fun. In the middle of the beach, extending from Colorado Boulevard and the centre of Santa Monica is the Santa Monica Pier. What’s more iconic than the Ferris wheel and roller-coaster sitting atop Santa Monica Pier? With a carousel, an arcade, an amusement park, […]
