May 30, 2006

My brother and his family came to visit this past week. We had a wonderful visit and got to spend some time at our local zoo, one of the few places in this city to take guests. I always wish that my brother didn’t live four states away from me and the rest of my family at least one state away in the other direction. My house has been dubbed the ‘Dew Drop Inn’ by my local friends because of my frequent visitors.

 

Next month, we have some vacation time scheduled to see a little bit of the country.  We’re hoping to plan another week of vacation later this year. It always seems that there is so much to see and so little time. I know my children will be ready to move out of the house before I get to share everything with them. How do we decide where we need to or want to go for vacations? Do we spend it traveling or spending time with our family who lives too far away from us?

 

Here are some of the spots I plan on visiting around iVillage to help me with all these questions. Have you decided on where you are spending your vacation this year?

 

Camping and Outdoor Activities

Disney Vacations

Family Travel: Traveling with Kids

PhotoBoard: Vacations & Trips

Going on Vacation?

Planning a family vacation

TV for Babies -- Good or Bad?

At a time when the medical community claims infants should be kept away from the tube, BabyFirst TV is on the air with content for the six-month to three-year set. They call it high-quality programming with a focus on child development. What do you call it?
