FG Itinerary: Quebec City With Kids

With it’s sophisticated French food, museum culture and focus on local history, Quebec City didn’t at first glance seem like the ideal place to travel with a 4-year-old. But we spent the better part of a week there and found plenty of activities that kept us and Tiny Traveler well fed and highly entertained.…See More

Lake Tahoe Weekend Family Getaway: Boat Trips & "Bear" Burgers

We would have never guessed it was spring in Lake Tahoe as we climbed out of the car one May weekend. While the ski lifts were closed, plenty of winter snow lingered. Nevertheless, with attractions like the Olympic Village at Squaw Valley, boat rides on the lake and opportunities to learn about the area in small doses, Lake Tahoe is an easy and fun family weekend getaway. Here are some ideas…See More

Philippines With a 7YO: Teddy Bears & Life Lessons

In November 2011, I decided to take my well-traveled 7-year-old daughter Bronte (and her equally well-traveled, much-loved teddy, Frank), to join her Daddy in Manila, where he was working.I remember thinking at the time that this might be the perfect place to introduce Bronte to the concept of childhood poverty, something I felt it was time for her to understand better, being a somewhat…See More

Angkor Management: Touring Angkor Wat With a Toddler

The Temples of Angkor are stunning, but usually enjoyed by childless travelers. This is a shame because almost all the temples are great places to visit with children, even little ones.But after traipsing around Angkor for nine days with our two-year-old in a backpack carrier, we know a few things. Here are our best tips for enjoying Cambodia and its temples with a small child.Let Kids Be KidsThe Temples of Angkor are not quiet and refined.

Historic Philadelphia With A Preschooler? Maybe

I was carrying a very tired four-year old who wasn’t ready to leave Philadelphia’s Please Touch museum even after a full rainy day there. She clutched my neck, leaned up and whispered urgently in my ear, “Mommy! Can we come back to Philadelphia again one day?”The City of Brotherly Love and its beautiful, fabulous children’s…See More

Bavaria With a 3 Year Old: Castles and Wildflowers

As soon as we had decided we would travel to Germany last summer, I knew I wanted to go to Schwangau, a place we’d first visited in 2007 while I was pregnant. I thought I wanted to return so we could wow our princess-crazed preschooler with Neuschwanstein, a real and quite picturesque castle. I would probably concede that I also wanted to show her the …See More

An 18-Hour Roadtrip With 2 Tweens? No Problem!

Our home in New Jersey is 1,000 miles and just over 18 driving hours away from Orlando, FL. Double those numbers and that’s how much driving my husband and I did this fall with our children, ages 10 and 11. Tweens are too young to be interested in looking out the windows and too old for games like travel bingo or I spy.Thank goodness for the promise of Disney and the power of technology. My tweens aren’t yet using Facebook and Twitter to pass the time, but a few select handheld devices kept…See More

NYC with Kids: Holiday Dos and Don'ts

I have no idea whether the holiday song Silver Bells was written about New York City, but I always assume it was. New York is a vibrant—if somewhat crowded—place to get into the holiday spirit, which is why so many people do. As a lifelong New Yorker there are things I make sure to do year after year after year and…See More

Our First Family Vacation: Mexico

I remember the first vacation we took with my daughter. She was 15 months old, walking and climbing with no capacity to sit still. She also had no teeth yet and no interest in mushy baby food. I wondered how I would get through a nearly five-hour plane ride to Mexico with her squirming on my lap and I worried about how I easily I would find food that I trusted that she would eat. I packed my suitcase with cereal bars, Cheerios and microwaveable mac & cheese while my husband rolled his eyes…See More
