Like many children, my kids love to explore and learn. I'm always looking for hand on learning that both my 4th grader & 7th grader can comprehend and enjoy together.

2011 Gulf Island WaterPark Mom
Picture Courtesy of GulfIslandWaterpark.com My favorite part of summer is all the "field trips" our family gets to enjoy together. Our family loves to travel, but we are also blessed to live in tourism hot spot. Being about 45 miles away from New Orleans, we are able to enjoy a variety of museums, amazing food, eclectic music, and many sporting events. But we also live so close to Southern Mississippi and take full advantage of what they have to offer as well. Last year we bought passes to Continue Reading
