Take a Trip Back in Time with The Medieval Times Show
Last week I was contacted by the crew over at The Medieval Times to see if I would like to check out the show in Buena Park. I had not seen the show yet which is surprising since I have lived in Orange County most of my life (minus my college years and traveling). My seven year old was so excited to see real knights on horses fighting and jousting. A brand new show opened up this year and celebrates the California Castle’s 25th anniversary, The Medieval Times 30th anniversary, and its recent $2.5 renovation. We arrived just as the show was about to begin, but I would recommend to come at least an half hour…

Culture :: The Titanic and Bodies Exhibition Tickets Giveaway
Next week, my daughter and I are going to tour the Premier Exhibitions, Titanic: The Experience and Bodies: The Exhibition in Buena Park where the former Movieland Wax Museum use to be. I have always been fascinated by the stories surrounding RMS Titanic and loved the movie when it came out years ago. At the moment, my daughter’s favorite book is Dr. Seuss’s Inside Your Outside which talks about how the body works so I think she will enjoy the Bodies Exhibition. I am told the two exhibitions are appropriate for ages seven on up. This would be a great activity to do with the kids while they are on summer break…

Travel :: The Family-Friendly City of Boston
Everyone says Boston is a beautiful city, but you don’t truly understand what everyone means until you visit Boston for yourself. Boston is one of the cleanest, well-maintained cities I have ever seen in North America. The people here are proud, yet unpretentious. The history is inspiring. The sites are breathtaking. And the food, well, it’s just plain yummy. We spent two jam-packed days in Boston two summers ago with the kids who were 5, 8, and 11 at the time. Don’t feel shy about bringing your kids here. Not once did my husband or I feel nervous walking the streets with the kids. We even used “The T,”…

Confession :: Not a Fan of Flying
Confession :: Not a Fan of Flying! Next week I will be flying out for the PBS Kids annual meeting in Miami, Florida as part of their PBS Kids VIP Ambassador Program. Recently, they asked me if I would like to become a member of this group and as many of you know, I love PBS Kids! Their programs are rich with great characters and quite educational such as Word Girl (love her sidekick monkey Captain Huggyface) and Wild Kratts: Creature Power. So off I go to Miami (minus a pink bikini – yes, I have an image of Miami in my head) to spend a few days with the folks who…
