Four Seasons - Orlando

 We spent a few days at the Four Seasons Orlando for my birthday this year.  It was truly incredible and I highly recommend! I would even go back without kids too but it was super kid friendly.

THE HOTEL 5/5: This is a 5 start hotel located in Walt Disney World.  They have free shuttles to Disney and I believe you can have the benefits of Disney properties (restaurant booking etc). We just stayed at the resort which was beautiful. My kids loved the "scavenger hunt" with the prize being ice cream!

THE ROOMS 5/5: We had a beautiful room with balcony that had 2 queen beds.  View from our balcony.  There is a golf course and lake features.  They also have adjoining rooms available. 


THE POOLS 5/5: The pools are incredible- multiple pool areas including a lazy river, basket ball/ volleyball area, pool service, hot tub.  There was construction going on at the main pool so we had to move to another area and for our trouble we were given a free round of drinks. The waterslides were also under construction so they had inflatable ones available.


THE KIDS CLUB 5/5: My kids LOVED the kids club.  This is the most incredible part is that they have so many staff the kids are basically 1:1.  My son got to play soccer and my daughter did art projects. They even sent her home with a bag with a coloring book, paints, and markers to take home.

THE SPA 5/5: We got to go to the Spa! This was one of the best spas I've been to.  There are water features including hot tub, sauna, steam room, experience shower, quiet spaces inside a solarium.  Amazing massage.


THE FOOD 5/5: We had an incredible dinner at Capa for my birthday. Everything was excellent and they brought me all of the desserts to celebrate. The best deal is happy hour at the Lobby Bar.  We also dined at PB&G and at the pool.  All were kid friendly and delicious.




OTHER ACTIVITES: The kids liked the Hideout game room that had video games and pool tables, ping pong etc.  The gym was great and had several Peloton bikes :) There is also an adult pool, tennis, golf, rock climbing, splash pad, and shopping.

Have you stayed at the Four Seasons Orlando? Any other amenities you enjoyed?

Glacier National Park

Image
We took a 6 day trip to Glacier National Park this summer and I cannot recommend it highly enough.  One of my favorite places I have ever been! OVERVIEW: I recommend going in the summer.  The temperatures were in the 70s to 80s during the day and 40s to 50s at nighttime.  You cannot even drive the going to the sun road until mid-June due to snow.  We had above normal temperatures for the first few days but it was still incredible. There are two "sides" to Glacier National Park the East Side (St. Mary) and West Side (West Glacier).  Connecting the two sides is a road called the going to the sun road and takes about 2.5 hours to drive from one side to the other.  That's why we chose to split our trip to 2 nights on the East side and 2 nights on the West side to minimize driving and experience all that Glacier has to offer. I thought 5 days was perfect for the amount of time, but I think you could do longer or shorter depending on the number of hikes and activ...

Paris Trip in April 2023

Image
We spent Spring Break this year in Paris! It was incredible and I highly recommend as a first overseas trip for families.  We were concerned about the recent protests and strikes going on from the Pension age changing to 64 and no-confidence vote last week but everything was fine and these will likely occur for several months: DO NOT WORRY!  I found this website to be the most helpful for next Nationwide Strike days: https://worldinparis.com/transport-in-france-strike-news-tips-for-traveling-to-paris WHEN TO GO: We loved going in April because we had some sunny days in the 60s, but it did get cooler a few days and we had some wind & rain. Last summer it was in the 90's and there is no air conditioning in most buildings so I would rather wear layers (wish I had brought a winter hat though). WHAT TO BRING: We did all carry-ons. Packed: jeans, shirts, dresses x2, skirt x1, 2 pairs of shoes (wore 1 pair), 2 scarves (these are very big in Paris), wore trench coat, and swea...

Canadian Rockies Trip

Canadian Rockies Itinerary! We traveled to the Canadian Rockies with 6 and 9 year old kids and my 80 year old parents. I highly recommend! Prior to the trip: 1) Download GyPSy App and purchase the Canadian Rockies Tour-- this will guide you on the entire trip 2) Purchase a park pass-- you want the Discovery Pass https://www.pc.gc.ca/en/voyage-travel/admission 3) I booked restaurant reservations, tea at the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise, boat tickets for Spirit Island at Maligne Lake, and tour tickets for hiking the Althabasca glacier ( www.icewalks.com ) Day 1: Flew to Calgary and rented a car and drove to Banff. We stayed at the Fairmont Banff club level- great service & club but very small rooms. I think you could definitely do another option if $ is an issue. We did the 5 pin bowling which was super fun (had reservations). Day 2: Banff day- we followed the GyPSy tour that took us to the Cave & Basin (kids loved), Lake Minnewanka, Hoodoos, Vermillion Lakes, Banff Gondola, Bow...
