Making educational family travel dreams
We travelled to San Diego with our 6 year old Kidsetter in tow. San Diego is a city on the Pacific coast of California known for its beaches, parks and warm climate. After wrestling with the freeways from Palm Springs to San Diego through miles of dessert and traffic we were hit by that wonderful […]
Embarking on a classic USA road trip with our 6-year-old Kidsetter we drove to Palm Springs, a city in the Sonoran Desert of southern California. Known for its hot springs, stylish hotels, golf courses and spas. It’s also noted for its many fine examples of mid-century-modern architecture. Its core shopping district along Palm Canyon Drive […]
We decided to do something truly spectacular whilst staying in Las Vegas with our 6 year old Kidsetter – take a helicopter over the Grand Canyon ! One of the world’s natural wonders I wanted to teach our Kidsetter about the iconic Grand Canyon. Easily accessible from Las Vegas, we caught a helicopter and flew […]
We travelled to Telluride in Colarado with our 6 year old Kidsetter. Telluride, a former Victorian mining town in Colorado’s Rocky Mountains, is set in a box canyon amid forested peaks at the base of a popular ski-and-golf resort. The town’s historic district houses landmarks like the Sheridan Opera House, a performing-arts venue originally built […]
All aboard ! We had pre-booked a once in a life experience – riding the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad’s Cowboy Poetry Train. This popular event is only held once a year. We were beyond excited. Only one problem…. the morning of the train ride, we were staying in Telluride, Colorado and had under […]
Travelling to Bryce Canyon with our 6 year old Kidsetter was a phenomenal experience. Bryce Canyon is not a single canyon, but a series of natural amphitheaters or bowls, carved into the edge of a high plateau. The most famous of these is the Bryce Amphitheater which is filled with irregularly eroded spires of rocks […]
Travelling to Zion National Park was a phenomenal experience. The name “Zion” means a place of peace and refuge. 146,000 acres of cliffs, canyons, diverse plant and animal life, and uninterrupted beauty, Zion is well-named. Mesmerised as we gazed up at massive sandstone cliffs of cream, pink, and red that soar into a brilliant […]
We travelled with our 6-year-old Kidsetter to Las Vegas staying at 2 hotels, MGM Grand and Bellagio. The MGM Grand pool complex is spectacular ! 6.5 acres of outdoor area featuring 5 swimming pools. Our favourite was the famous lazy river. A gentle currant flows through the 1000-foot-long pool and we drifted easily through the […]
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 […]
New York is fabulous for kids ! We spent 5 days in this bustling city in the lead up to Christmas with our 5 year old. We packed in so much and still didn’t (only scratched the surface of what NY has to offer) see it all. My husband and I adore NY so […]
