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 [...]

Lion Country Safari near West Palm Beach, Florida

August 17, 2009 in Family Travel, Florida Hotels, Outdoor Adventure, Summer Vacations, Zoos by Steven

I can’t decide what caused us more trouble, putting the Columbus Zoo ahead of San Diego in our Top 10 Zoos in America feature, or putting the Lion Country Safari all the way up at #3.
Whichever way, we meant it then, and we still love the place today. I think it’s finally time we take [...]

August 14, 2009 in Family Travel, Holidays, Minnesota Hotels, Outdoor Adventure, Summer Vacations by Steven

Friend of mine got back from vacationing in L.A. awhile ago*, him and his wife, and ever since he’s been getting on to me about not featuring his favorite on the blog. So, finally, at long last, the wait is over, the show can begin. Ladies and gentlemen: Universal Studios Hollywood.

Flashlight Tours at Desert Botanical Garden – Phoenix, Arizona

August 7, 2009 in Events, Family Travel, Outdoor Adventure, Summer Vacations by Steven

Seems like every time we head to Phoenix we talk about something to do at night. I assure you, this is no coincidence. This is cold, calculated strategy, and “cold” has everything to do with it.

Must-See Museums – Anchorage Museum at Rasmuson Center

August 6, 2009 in Alaska Hotels, American History Tours, Museums, Summer Vacations by Steven

I like to recommend attractions that are most certainly not just down the road. Make you work for it a little.
The Anchorage Museum at Rasmuson Center is not reason enough to travel to Alaska, but if your adventures do one day take you to Anchorage (and I hope that they do), this stunning, modern, inventive [...]
