Kalahari Resorts in the Poconos is one of our go-to spots for an indoor waterpark experience and fun. As we live in NYC, we've been there about five times now. I also usually get a military discount as a veteran. We usually go during the cold weather...

Fishkill Farms is a great place to take your kids apple picking and pumpkin picking. It is great for all ages. Every other year, yes, I was there last year too, I look for options for other farms and we keep coming back to this farm over and over aga...

I did a road-trip here in 2019 from NYC and I must say this National Park is so serene and beautiful.  Get up early one morning to see the sun rise on Cadillac Mountain. The view is breath taking.  It does get packed around there though and parking is limited so get there extra early. I made a few stops on the way there to include Boston, Salem, Rhode Island. This is so worth it.

Yes, I know, why would Las Vegas or Sin City be on my list of recommended places to travel with teens. Have you actually been there? There is so much to do. Besides seeing the fountains of Bellagio, don't just stay on the strip, take a trip downtown ...

If you could only choose one National Park to take your kids, it would be this one. Make this the trip of your lifetime to take your kids. Experience a geyser eruption every 90 mins, see one of the largest hot springs in the world, and see the wildli...

If you are ever in NYC, I highly recommend doing this with your kids especially in the evening as you can capture the beautiful sunset in the background and the lights that makes this city so magnificent at night.
