Summer vacations for some families mean active adventures, while for others the summer is a perfect time to start exploring college campuses. Imagine being able to do both in one place. A place where you can find yourself in a beautifully appointed room, set amidst 500 acres of welcoming southern Charlottesville Virginia hospitality. Whether you are there for a college tour of the University of Virginia, an off the beaten path family trip in Charlottesville or a family friendly summer (or spring or fall) adventure, staying at the Boar's Head Inn will take you back in time to with an abandoned gristmill that is the heart of the inn that dates back to 1834.
A great little hidden gem in Hendersonville, North Carolina awaits anyone in search of great, small batch beer, good music and a relaxed atmosphere near the heart of downtown.
While this is certainly a kid and family-friendly establishment, it was just my girlfriend and I on our recent visit. We had browsed the quaint historic shops in downtown and ended with pedicures on Main Street so a little refreshment reprieve seemed in order and some cold beer at a local brewery sounded terrific. Fellow folks getting pedicures earlier that day had told us that it was a must stop in Hendersonville. They were right.
Sanibel Island is best known for the Sanibel Stoop. It isn’t the term used in New York City for front porches. Instead, it is the motion of bending down to look for shells. And shelling is one of the favorite family activities on Sanibel Island beaches.
What do a historic hand poled ferry, a small town with big festivals, wineries, the home of the 5th president of the United States, and tubing have in common? Each are part of a one day itinerary featuring off the beaten path attractions in Charlottesville Virginia. When most people think of visiting Charlottesville Virginia, they think of Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello and the campus of the University of Virginia. While it is true that this southern town is home to both, it is also home to many other adventure attractions that make Charlottesville a perfect road trip destination for mid-Atlantic families.
Disney World is known as a family destination -- but what if one parent can't be with the family due to other obligations? My family and I recently traveled to Orlando so I could participate in a blogger retreat, which meant that my nine-year-old self-proclaimed "tween" daughter had to (reluctantly) go with her dad to the parks alone.
