Image courtesy of Regarding Nannies “We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm and adventure. There is no end to the adventures we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open.” ~Jawaharial Nehru This summer we plan to take a road trip up the coast of California into Oregon. Since it will take about 15 hours give or take (depending on how many bathroom breaks I will need) I thought it might be fun to see what we can do to make the trip even more memorable.

Get Away Today Offers Affordable Disneyland Family Travel
Disney On the Brain: This past month has been a whirlwind of all things Disney! My family and I spent four days and three nights at the Disneyland Resort for the Disney Social Media Moms conference where I developed a newfound love for anything Disney. Disneyland really is a top notch family destination and the customer service is just wonderful! We stayed at the Disneyland Resort and I was so impressed with the quality of the food and our room. One of our favorite things in the room (besides the Mickey Mouse lights) was the backboard – when you flip a switch, the board lights up like there is a fireworks…

Grand Cayman Adventure
Whenever I think about Grand Cayman I flash back to the movie ‘The Firm‘. Money Laundering, power, and greed are the things that come to mind. Funny how something from a movie can stay with you for so long. Grand Cayman is a beautiful island about 22 miles long. For such a small place it boasts just under 600 bank-and-trust companies. Pretty impressive for such a tiny hideaway. According to wikipedia, 43 out of the 50 largest banks in the world are found on Grand Cayman.

This past week I had the chance to visit a very ‘fun twist’ on a Haunted House; the Haunted Lagoon in Laie, Oahu. It was amazing!

Even though it’s a small town it gets plenty of traffic because of the BYU Hawaii campus, the LDS Temple and The Polynesian Cultural…
