Homewood Suites by Hilton Anaheim Resort Convention Center

Our family was recently hosted for a stay at the Homewood Suites by Hilton Anaheim Resort Convention Center. Opened in the fall of 2015, this hotel still has the telltale signs of a new property – a modern lobby, sparkling outdoor pools, and updated room decor. At just shy of a mile away from the […]

Where to Eat at Disneyland: Rancho del Zocalo

December 4, 2016 By Stephanie

rancho-del-zocalo-disneyland

Before heading to Disneyland, I always research where to eat in the parks. I’m specifically looking for: big portion sizes, healthy options, affordability, and shade (especially important for summer and fall visits). Time and time again, we end up choosing Rancho del Zocalo Restaurante. Located near Big Thunder Mountain Railroad in Frontierland in Disneyland, the Mexican […]

Back-To-School: ZÜCA

August 10, 2016 By Stephanie

ZUCA rolling backpack

Our family was first introduced to ZÜCA carry-all bags seven years ago – and they quickly trumped all other carry-ons in our luggage collection! These smartly-designed, rollable suitcases include usable pockets and slick wheels. As a bonus, the bag actually doubles as a (decently-comfortable) seat. Our almost-10-year-old daughter used the Hanami bag all last year and received compliments in droves. […]

Travel With Kids: Sacramento

July 10, 2014 By Stephanie

Although Sacramento is the capitol of California, few people actually know where it is on the map. To give you a quick refresher, it’s in north-central California – approximately 1.5 hours northeast of San Francisco. As an inland city, it doesn’t have the beachy vibe of the more famous cities…but it has plenty to offer […]

Travel With Kids: Salem

July 7, 2014 By Stephanie

Located approximately one hour south of Portland along I-5, Salem is the capitol of Oregon and home to approximately 150,000 people. Compared to her sister city up north, Salem is a small town with a far less urban climate. Even so, it has a distinctly Oregon vibe – with a bounty of green trees and […]
