    Christmas vs Halloween at the fort

    I booked our family (3 kids ages:1,7,11) at the cabins this Halloween. I know those reservations are hard to come by so I booked it for now in case we would like to go then.

    Timing for vacations

    Well he has exam week but it would be hard to plan around that until we get the exam schedule a month before that week. Theres only long weekeends other than that. The problem is that we live sort of the middle of nowhere so flights are expensive and it takes extra time to fly because there...

    Stops for road trip

    Anyone go during march break? We are still debating whether or not to go further south to wdw or just try out mrytle beach. Either way we would be driving and for us we would rather take our time and enjoy the road trip where the destination isn't as important. We do want it to be at least 18 to...

    1 night on site

    Is there anything advantagous about staying onsite 1 night? I tried to get a couple of nights but the best price is just the one night. We have a tentative trip planned for end of march for 1 week. We will have 4 day passes.

    Snowbirding with kids

    And I love the fact that your kids' main social influence is your family. My SS has had a weird upbringing and just recently started living with us.

    Snowbirding with kids

    The problem with taking many scattered long weekends is the cost of flights. I think DH prefers that we just spend at least a month there every winter.

    Snowbirding with kids

    No I definitely don't expect the teacher to put anything together as far as work is concerned. We will keep up with daily reading, have our own workbook she can do everyday, not to mention learning from and soaking in all the places we will be visiting. I have sent an email to the principal and...
