Universal Studios Hollywood This Summer

Sponsored post. This week my family and I visited Universal Studios Hollywood theme park. I think we had the perfect weather, because it was the day it was overcast. It sure was a nice break from the heat wave. We have been several times before with the children, and every time it feels different. Each time they’re a little older, a little wiser, a little braver, and they enjoy revisiting their favorite attractions to make new memories. For example, we still go on the The Studio Tour Tram Ride which takes us behind the movie scenes, because it helps us appreciate how films are made. You might want to know … READ MORE >>

Santa Cruz – Monterey Bay KOA Camping Tips

Disclosure: Post written in collaboration with Kampgrounds of America. All opinions are our own.  Summer is here! We just couldn’t wait to get out for some rest and relaxation. The moment we found out Kampgrounds of America locations were opening back up, we couldn’t wait to book a stay. The first part of 2020 has been highly unusual. Like many others across the world, we have been quarantining and trying to be safe. I have only left the house once a week for essentials. Even leaving for that trip was stressful. Looking back, I really do not remember much from the month of April and May. Between my kids’ distance … READ MORE >>

Travel Tips – Monterey Peninsula’s Sanctuary Vacation Rentals

Written in collaboration with Sanctuary Vacation Rentals. All opinions are our own. One of our favorite destinations in California is the Monterey Peninsula which is along the central coast. It includes cities like Big Sur, Carmel, Carmel-by-the-Sea, Monterey, Pacific Grove and Pebble Beach. Every few years we revisit the area, because we love it so much. The scenic coastal drive has several vista points which are breathtaking, majestic, and picturesque. If you stop and wait long enough, sometimes you can spot whales. Our trips never feel long enough even though we are there three to four days. One of these days I would like to try hiking, camping, or a … READ MORE >>
