    A guest ranch in Colorado that draws families and romantics

    ByEileen Ogintz January 24, 2013July 15, 2021

    “The people are what make this place so special,” said Hearon. In fact, much of the staff is culled from young people who came here for vacation with their families. No wonder more than 60 per cent of the guests return to this 8, 500 acre ranch that is about 20 miles north of Winter Park.

    Aspen’s historic Hotel Jerome open again after huge restoration

    ByEileen Ogintz January 23, 2013July 15, 2021

    The Hotel Jerome has just reopened before Christmas in the heart of downtown Aspen after a multi-million dollar renovation (every one of the 93 rooms and suites has its own luxurious bathroom, of course) and its not unusual in ski season for room rates to be over $800 a night.

    Two blue bird family days in Snowmass and Aspen

    ByEileen Ogintz January 22, 2013July 15, 2021

    I’ve always thought Snowmass was terrific for families with younger kids—its Treehouse kids’ learning facility is a standout in the industry complete with indoor climbing wall. There’s a climbing room, teen activities like movie night, and six interactive themed rooms for infants 8 weeks and older.

    Alcatraz Island really excites kids visiting San Francisco

    ByEileen Ogintz January 21, 2013July 8, 2021

    When we mentioned San Francisco to our kids Ethan (10) and Hannah (8) they both immediately were excited because it has so much to offer, and mostly, for the chance to go and visit Alcatraz Island.

    Exploring and learning with the kids in San Francisco

    ByEileen Ogintz January 20, 2013July 8, 2021

    Our past trips to San Diego and New York have been made more enjoyable, and more cost-effective by using the great benefits that CityPass offers. Our hope was that our holiday trip to San Francisco would be enhanced by using the CityPass book.

    Welcome to the club ladies – wish there were more of these in ski country

    ByEileen Ogintz January 20, 2013June 29, 2023

    There are also plenty of women’s clinics around the country designed for women to hone their skills, whether they are skiers or snowboarders. I wish every resort had a Ladies’ Club like the one offered at Park City Mountain Resort. All it takes is 2 hours and $60.

    You can find affordable family vacation spots in the Caribbean

    ByEileen Ogintz January 18, 2013July 12, 2021

    Sue and Robin Ricketts started Anguilla’s flourishing villa business—ideal for multigenerational families and now manage some 80 villas on the island from the most luxurious ($1,000,000 a week) to totally affordable (a few thousand). Now they also run the boutique 27-room Anacona where rooms can be as low as $150 a night and all kinds of special programs—tennis, sailing, wellness, biking, yoga, art……

    On Anguilla everybody sails, especially the kids

    ByEileen Ogintz January 17, 2013July 12, 2021

    The Anguilla Youth Sailing Club that teaches local as well as visiting kids to sail (look for programs through the Viceroy Hotel and others) “Kids really rally round the boat racing…we start to teach them at age four,” says Paul Koeniger, who oversees the youth sailing club.

    Exploring African-American history in Washington, D.C., and beyond

    ByEileen Ogintz January 17, 2013July 9, 2021

    This January, of course, also marks the 150th anniversary of the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation and I can’t think of a better time than this winter — February is Black History Month — to explore civil rights in Washington and beyond.
