Arriving at the Windsor Suites in Philadelphia was a total breath of fresh air after the eight hour bus journey and rather cramped accommodation of Boston.

The Lake District in Autumn, are you mad you might say? Yes, the weather can be challenging and it’s not the best time to indulge in watersports on the Lakes or enjoy an ice cream whilst taking in the epic scenery (the cloak of mist often makes that tricky!) but I really think it’s one
Although I don’t usually plan our travels based on just one venue we want to try out, Boston was a different story. I had heard and read so many great things about their children’s museum I knew we just had to visit before Piper got too old to really enjoy it. Was it worth the
If simplicity with a side of adventure is what you’re after then the USA is a great place to start. America has some amazing cities and a wide breadth of cultures, so choosing a base can be a bit overwhelming but most places will have something to please the whole family. Visiting the USA with
Do you stay at an airport hotel before an early flight? We normally just bite the bullet, get up mega early and drive. But for our last flight from Manchester, as it was just me and the six year old I didn’t fancy the pre-dawn drive and parking faff. So I started researching hotels near

We’re not a family of campers, I wish we were, I see all the gorgeous pics on Instagram of happy families toasting marshmallows, ready for a night under the stars and I just want to pack up our tent and get on the road. It’s just never worked for us, every time we’ve tried it’s
