Dublin was probably the city I spent the most time doing searches on. The center area has a large pub scene. Which, if I were younger, would be a fun night, but since we are a family, it was something that I wanted to avoid. I reserved a U.S. chain hotel near the Custom House at first. This option included breakfast and you can take…

If you are looking for something to do with a kid on a cold January day check to see if your town has an arts program. Through some Google searching I noticed one day that our town has a drop-in program for the arts. Best off all it was FREE. The program goes from late-morning to early afternoon. It included ages 2 to 14 so…
Kiss the bricks is a tradition we learned at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Indianapolis was our weekend getaway during my husband’s spring break.
We decided that on the way to mainland Europe we would stop in London. This would allow for our son to have a shorter flight between the US and Europe and less jet lag for us all. I checked Airbnb and found expensive fees with it and decided against it. I can’t recommend it for London, but your experience might be different from mine when…

If we decide to take a rental car to get there it also has the cheapest parking. Zurich Train Station Zurich Hauptbahnof : The station handles about…
“Driving Mr. Albert: A Trip Across America with Einstein’s Brain” is sort of a bizarre travelogue, memoir, biography and history story all in one. Albert Einstein’s brain floats in a Tupperware bowl in a gray bag in the trunk of a Buick Skylark barreling across America. Driving the car is journalist Michael Paterniti. Sitting next to him is an 84 year-old pathologist named Thomas Harvey,…
See a Star Trek Enterprise, a Star Wars Tie-fighter, or green bulbed dragon, these are just some of the many light displays in East Peoria, Il. The drive-through light display starts just after Thanksgiving. We always arrive early, around 5 p.m., because it can be very busy during the holidays. Unlike many other lighted displays, this one is made up of floats from the parade…
The holidays are upon us and I find myself searching for activities for the kid that will provide him some education and something to do. Saturday: Christmas Walk At the Central West End The Central West End in St. Louis does a Christmas Walk on the first Saturdays in December. So we picked a warm weekend and bundled up the kid and decided to explore…
Bratislava is about an hour from Vienna and is worth checking out with its fun street sculptures, upside down pyramid building and what has been nicknamed the Soviet’s UFO Bridge. The major sites can be walked to from the central part of the city. Bratislava Highlights: St. Martin’s Cathedral It is one of the largest and oldest churches in the city. It used to serve…
