“Traveling With Kids” Column on Classic Play! (Longji Rice Terraces, China)

30 Aug

It’s that time again for a new installment of my Traveling With Kids column on the Classic Play!  This adventure takes us to the Longji Rice Terraces in China.  We stayed in the small town of Ping’An and really got to experience rural China first hand.  It was an absolutely beautiful experience for the whole family.  Pop on over to read about what we did and to see some photos.

“Traveling With Kids” column on Classic Play! (Belgium)

16 Aug

My newest installment of Traveling With Kids is on Classic Play! today.  This time we visit the Belgian seaside.  People think we’re crazy to drive 1200km north to do a beach vacation but I have to admit that I absolutely love the Belgian coast.  Yes it may be a lot colder and windier (often even rainy) than the beaches here in the south but it has so much to offer kids and families.  If you like cycling, walking, kiting or eating pancakes then this is the place for you.   Pop on over to Classic Play! and if you have time leave a comment to let me know what you think.

19 Jul

Pop on over to Classic Play! for my next Traveling With Kids post.  This time we’re visiting the Kroller Muller Museum in the Hoge Veluwe National  Park in the Netherlands.  It’s a beautiful spot and well worth a visit.

I’d love to hear your thoughts and even experiences if you’ve already been there!

“Traveling With Kids” Column on Classic Play! (Japan)

5 Jul

I’m really really excited to let you all know that I have been asked to be a contributor to one of my favorite blogs.  I’ll be writing a Traveling With Kids column for Classic Play! and I’m over the moon ecstatic to be doing it.

Today my first column is published and it’s about our recent trip to Japan.  For the post I asked the kids to give me their top 10 favorite memories about the trip and in the end they came up with the exact same ones I would have (except the Japanese toilets maybe!).  I’d love it if you popped over there to take a look and even make a comment if you so please.
