America’s Parks – Mount Diablo State Park in California

March 12, 2010 in American History Tours, California Hotels, Family Travel, Outdoor Adventure, Spring Break Vacations by Steven

California has its fair share of big name national parks – Kings Canyon, Sequoia and Yosemite National Park among them. However, there are some lesser-known state parks that offer just as much outdoor adventure (and they’re often less crowded about it).

Last year we ran a poll of favorite Spring Break destinations – mountains, golf resorts, big cities, that kind of thing – and the overwhelming winner was beaches. Like turkey on Thanksgiving, I guess there are times when the oldies really are the goldies.
Then again, there are some places you can keep a tradition alive [...]

March 3, 2010 in Events, Family Travel, Outdoor Adventure, Shopping, Spring Break Vacations, Virginia Hotels by Steven

If yesterday’s pick, Santa Monica Beach, was a little too predictable for your Spring Break beach vacation, maybe you should be thinking East Coast instead. If you can believe it, not all of the East’s top beaches line the coast of Florida. Head towards the southern tip of Virginia and you’ll find the charming bayside [...]

Kemah Boardwalk – Houston Day Trips and Things to Do

November 9, 2009 in Family Travel, Outdoor Adventure, Spring Break Vacations, Summer Vacations, Texas Hotels by Steven

You may not often put Texas and “boardwalk” together in your mind, but fact is Texas has one of the longest coastlines in the continental United States, and gosh darn it we use it. Just a half-hour (or so) car trip out of Houston and you’ll be at Galveston Bay, home to a major cruise [...]
