Legoland Florida

We have taken 2 trips to Legoland Florida that my kids LOVED.  Most recently it was so crowded lines were 45 minutes to 2 hours but that was over Christmas break.  

OVERVIEW: You can do everything in 1 - 2 days depending on how much time you want to spend in each area.  The ideal ages would be under 10 years old, or if you are really into legos, but most rides are for younger kids.  To get the full experience I recommend staying in the Legoland Hotel and signing up for the daily build classes.  Legoland is located in Winter Haven, Florida about 1 hour and 2 minutes from Orlando hotels.

LEGOLAND HOTEL: 2/5.  The legoland hotel was swarming with screaming children.  There is a giant lego pit/ play area in the lobby that was full of kids running around and screaming.  My kids LOVED it.  The rooms were small and Lego Themed.  My kids enjoyed the scavenger hunt that led to a lego prize at the end.  We did a room with bunk beds and trundle and king bed.  Highlights from the hotel:
- early entry (easy to get into the park)
- Lego build classes daily (my son's favorite thing- you need to sign up at the front desk daily)
- the disco elevators
- fireworks by the lake with 3D glasses that make them look like legos
- can do minifigure trading with all of the staff (my kids loved this- you bring mini figures and can trade them)

POOL 1/5: Very small pool with lego floats

FOOD: 1/5.  Cafeteria style.  

PARK: There are now 3 parks at Legoland including the newest park Peppa Pig for small children, the waterpark, and Legoland.  We spent all of our time at Legoland.  We enjoyed:
- Lego Ninjago ride
- Battle of Bricksberg
- Pirate waterski show
- Ford Driving school
- Mini USA
- 4-D movies

Glacier National Park

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...
