One thing I love about traveling with your family is that those memories are notched in their minds until they get older. My children have fond memories of many travel adventures and love to reminisce about those journeys we take as a family (hopefully through adulthood). When you visit Orlando you have to take some time to Sea World with the family. There is something so soothing about marine sea life that can make any theme park tranquil and a exciting at the same time. We were so excited Continue Reading
Going “Hollywood” at Universal Studios #VisitOrlando

Little did I know I would be the winner of 4-Universal Studios/Islands of Adventure Single Day Tickets PLUS 4-Express Pass Tickets. If your doing the math with my family your looking at over $900 Continue Reading

Summer Fun at LEGOLAND Florida #VisitOrlando
While planning our trip to Orlando my son had 1 attraction on his mind: LEGOLAND! My son loves all things LEGO. From animated cartoons on tv to bricks and figurines.

Gulf Islands Waterpark $5.00 Off Coupon #MSGulfCoast
If you have read my blog in previous summers you know what a huge fan I am of Gulf Islands Waterpark in Gulfport, Mississippi. Why? for me, I love that the waterpark is large enough to get my kids excited about visiting and small enough that I'm not afraid they're going to get lost in a huge waterpark when I blink my eyes. It's safe! There are tons of lifeguards in every area of the waterpark. My children are school-aged and are very good swimmers, but in a moment's notice anything can happen. Continue Reading
Learning Can Be Fun- INFINITY Science Center #MsGulfCoast
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. Last week I took my children to the INFINITY Science Center located in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi. The Mississippi Gulf Coast is such a short drive for my family that we were already very familiar with the NASA Stennis Space Center area & knew the newly open INFINITY Science Center would be a perfect match for family Continue Reading

Or, if your favorite attraction offers a yearly membership, being a member is the best over all deal for any family. This week I'm featuring one of my favorite all time favorite Continue Reading
