June 8, 2009 in Family Travel, Outdoor Adventure, Summer Vacations, Texas Hotels by Steven
It’s not the first time we’ve been to Canyon of the Eagles Lodge & Nature Park, but with summer vacation officially upon us now and thousands of families looking for something unique and affordable to do, there couldn’t be a better time to head back.

Outdoor Adventure – Piestewa Peak in Phoenix, Arizona

April 14, 2009 in Arizona Hotels, Attractions, Outdoor Adventure by Steven
In how many places can you climb a mountain without leaving the city limits? And don’t start ringing off a bunch of towns already in the mountains. That’s cheating. On the other hand, if you said “Phoenix, Arizona” you’d be right on the money! That’s because this vibrant Sonoran Desert city is home to Piestewa Peak [...]

2009 Iditarod Sled Dog Race

February 17, 2009 in Alaska Hotels, Events, Outdoor Adventure by Steven
When I was in third grade, we had a school project where every night one student was required to call up the Iditarod hotline and get the latest rankings to report to everyone the next day of class (this was before the Internet). The Iditarod was no small feat – bitter snowstorms, subzero temperatures, incredible [...]

More Whale Watching – Dana Point, California

January 19, 2009 in California Hotels, Events, Family Travel, Outdoor Adventure, Zoos by Steven
I spent so much time in my last Whale Watching article talking about bald eagles that I almost forgot to mention the whales. For your sake and mine, I say, not this time! Another great place to go whale watching during the mid-winter, very-early-spring season is Dana Point, which is in Orange Country next to Laguna [...]

Outdoor Adventure Travel – Hampton, Virginia

December 17, 2008 in Family Travel, Outdoor Adventure, Virginia Hotels by Steven
Just a quick, get-your-butt-off-the-couch-and-do-something kind of post today. Stop stressing out your checking account at theme parks, casinos, stage shows and predatory tourist dives when an entire world of cheap, even free outdoor entertainment is literally all around you (and it doesn’t much matter where you are). Stroll through a local park, strike up a game [...]
