The Franklin Park Conservatory is a hidden gem in Columbus, OH. You would be amazed at how many people have lived here their entire life and have never been. It’s great for families and a place that, while always familiar, seems to offer something new each time you go. There are over 400 plant species…
I have to be honest, we took a bit of a break from posting due to the state of the travel industry. While cruise travel is not yet open, we felt the time is right to start posting again, more to give people something to look forward to. Plus, we miss it! We are so…
I had a chance to go on the Norwegian Encore and WOW, what a ship! This will be the first part of a three part series on the Encore. I’m focusing on games and activities because there is SO MUCH to do! This is a great ship for active families. From high tech to high…
This week took us to two amazing locations. We go from days of knights to ultra modern space age, all in the space of 8 hours! Warning, to do this trip in one day from Columbus it is a lot of car time and a very full day. The castle is in Loveland Ohio very…
Have I mentioned Monday’s have become my favorite day of the week? This week we FINALLY shake off the rain and have a great day in Loudonville and Mt. Vernon Ohio.

It started with a photo op. We pulled off 71 to get lunch and as we were debating a less than healthy Burger King or McDonalds I saw an Indian on a horse and teepee and said “why don’t we go check that out?” The kids were all for it. They then wanted to go…
I’m not sure I have ever been so excited for a summer. At least not since I began working steady jobs after high school. A big part of this excitement are my plans to have a “Monday Fun Day with Dad”, this summer with the girls. Thanks to a new career as a travel agent…
In this second post about the brand-new Celebrity Edge I’m going to review the food and the rooms. I have heard so many people come back from Celebrity cruises and they seem to always talk about the entertainment and the food. We covered entertainment in the first post, so here we go with dining and…
My wife and I just had our first cruise on the brand new Celebrity Edge back in November of 2018. What separates this ship is the beauty of it. Celebrity actually hired artists to work with the ship design team so you would feel a difference in the ship. It worked. The other thing that…
