    ByEileen Ogintz November 16, 2013July 7, 2021

    I’m on a different kind of cruise—a River Cruise on the Seine in France on Avalon Waterways Creativity—just 140 passengers on this 361-foot long barge and with just 70 staterooms and two suites.

    ByEileen Ogintz November 15, 2013July 15, 2021

    I’m walking in Monet’s glorious gardens at Giverny on sunny day thinking about a little girl skipping over the famous green Japanese Bridges a big smile on her face.

    Family gatherings at Gettysburg for 150th anniversary of Lincoln’s address

    ByEileen Ogintz November 14, 2013July 9, 2021

    At the time, no one expected the speech to be a big deal. Lincoln had merely been asked to make a few remarks at the dedication of the Soldiers’ National Cemetery in Gettysburg, here in the Pennsylvania countryside, just four months after the searing battle that turned the tide of the Civil War.

    Time-traveling in Paris — to a tiny hotel in a 17th Century building

    ByEileen Ogintz November 13, 2013July 15, 2021

    We’ve moved from the heart of fashionable Paris to the St. Germaine neighborhood on the Left Bank and feel like we’ve time traveled, checking in to the tiny Hotel Verneuil, a 26-room hotel that is housed in a 17th century building.

    Touring the famous Louvre in Paris with a family-oriented guide

    ByEileen Ogintz November 12, 2013July 15, 2021

    Eighty per cent of her clients are American families. She notes that most guides, while true experts in their field, aren’t often as willing to play to the kids’ interests so when booking a guide, it is key to make sure they appreciate that kids’ may not have as long attention span.

    Gather the family for a holiday feast at a country villa

    ByEileen Ogintz November 7, 2013July 15, 2021

    You can gather the gang in a beautifully decorated home without doing all the work that typically entails, and without cooking at all — unless you want to. All you’ve got to do for a stress-free holiday is to celebrate at a vacation villa or condo rather than at your overcrowded house.

    To Keystone CO – one of the most kid-centric ski areas in the country

    ByEileen Ogintz October 31, 2013July 15, 2021

    Keystone is Vail Resort’s most kid-centric resort, with kids-ski free (as long as you book a two-night stay), night skiing tweens and teens love and daily “Kidtopia” activities. There’s a parade through the village on Saturdays with kids being twirled around in tires, free cookies and hot cider in the ice-skating rink, the chance to meet and greet the avalanche dogs and ski patrollers, free kids sundaes and more.
