We arrived in Seville after a four hour drive from Granada and the city’s traffic greeted us with a welcome familiarity. It’s true, we are city people who truly loved the hustle and bustle of Seville. It’s a small but happening city we wished we hung around longer for. If you’re a city loving family […]
Flight deals are the greatest. In conducting a little extra research, and by following the right Twitter feeds and Facebook deal sites, a family of four like ours can save thousands of dollars a year on air travel. Our family likes to explore, a lot, but we also enjoy seeing our retirement savings grow. Most of our […]
During our Boston explorations with Porter Escapes, we were invited to stay at the Fairmont Copley Plaza and there I discovered a hotel that’s oozing with historic charm at every inch of the property. From the moment you enter the Fairmont Copley Plaza, you notice the elegant touches but what really captures your eyes is […]
Our recent stay at the Hotel Monaco Alexandria in Old Town Alexandira, Virginia has made us realize that we truly do need to hunt down Kimpton properties during our future travels. This was our first stay at a Kimpton hotel and we were all pleasantly surprised by how family (and pet!) friendly the Monaco Alexandria is. As […]
Lisbon, the oldest city in Western Europe and the largest Portuguese city, is a hilly spot and can be difficult to navigate with a stroller. We spent three days exploring the many uphill cobbled streets, meeting the wonderful locals and learning about their culinary and musical culture. We lucked out with gorgeously sunny days during our mid […]
The crowning glory of our Portugal travels was ending up at the uber luxury family resort, The Martinhal Beach Resort and Hotel in Sagres. The resort in the south western most point of the European continent impressed us to no end. I’m most certain that we found the MOST family friendly property that PERFECTLY caters […]
We departed Toronto on Saturday evening with the grandparents and toddlers in tow beginning our #MurphysDoPortugal travels. I had jumped on a SATA airline sale having done no research on the what the airline was or what to expect when travelling on SATA airlines because the deal to Europe was AWESOME! Blindly I figured we’d […]
It has been quite a few months since we visited Old Fort Niagara during our travels exploring Niagara USA and the Lake Erie area last September but with the nice weather coming our way I wanted to share some pictures from our visit. Old Fort Niagara is the perfect spot for little tots to run […]
I had been to Brussels during my younger days (I was probably around 10) and the only thing I remembered about Brussels was the Atomium. It’s strange but it’s one of the monuments from my childhood that stuck with me and I wanted to re-visit the spot with the hubs, Baby Boy and Little Monkey. […]
As part of Little Monkey’s birthday surprise we not only stayed at the Sheraton on the Falls but we also got the Fallsview Indoor Waterpark package which allowed us to spend an entire 24 hours splashing around. Is the Fallsview Indoor Waterpark for toddlers? We found out that the answer is yes…if they’re tall and […]
