Eileen's Favorite Travel Sites
Traveling with kids is messy, aggravating, frustrating and wonderful, just like raising kids. Taking the Kids is your best family travel resource for how to get the most fun-and memories-out of your family vacations as well as the most bang for your travel buck. Eileen Ogintz has over 20 years of experience as a journalist, writer and blogger tracking travel trends. She is also a mom who has traveled with her three kids and others in the family from Orlando to Yosemite, the Caribbean to Alaska, to Europe and beyond. Taking the Kids’ main purpose is to help you show your kids the world, have a good time in the process and build memories that last a lifetime.

Congratulations to Mary Cummings and her family, winner of our Dream Family Vacation at Universal Orlando Resort contest – a joint promotion of Taking the Kids and our partners at TravelimgMom and Family Travel Forum and the Universal Orlando Resort.
I’ve cruised with my family around the world. I’ve found along the way that key is to choose the right cruise for your family and kids. Here are some great options to consider:
Stay just outside your National Park destinationMay 30, 2012If you can’t get reservations inside some of the most popular national parks like Yosemite, look for other options just outside—like Tenaya Lodge located just outside the South Gate to the park and really built with kids in mind with a kids’ pool, camp activities and more. |
