Lego Learning

Once all clues were compiled, he held […]

Sensory SeaWorld

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 […]

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 […]

Get Your Kicks

We drove from Los Angeles to Las Vegas along Route 66 with our 6-year-old Kidsetter. Driving America’s most iconic highway is the trip of a lifetime. In 1926, the 2,448-mile road was designed to be the first trans-continental, year-round highway. It connected urban and rural America from Chicago to Los Angeles, crossing eight states and […]
