Making educational family travel dreams
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 […]
San Francisco is a wonderful place to travel with kids. We travelled with our 5-year-old Kidsetter at Christmas time. What a treat ! We are always on the look out to find unique experiences and visiting Fairmont San Francisco at Christmas time was no exception. Fairmont’s elves worked overtime to create a dazzling two […]
