    Next time consider a villa on your family vacation

    ByEileen Ogintz August 16, 2012July 7, 2021

    A villa or condo makes vacationing with kids — no matter what their ages — so much easier. Remember that the kitchen is always open and in some cases you have a staff all to yourself. And you don’t have to share the pool with strangers.

    A kids view of Boston and New York City

    ByEileen Ogintz August 16, 2012July 8, 2021

    What surprised me most about Boston was how history and the modern city were combined. There was a colonial age church between a coffee shop and a bank, cemeteries hidden between buildings …

    Exploring Colorado in the summer

    ByEileen Ogintz August 9, 2012July 15, 2021

    The skies are blue, the air is clear and there is no evidence of fire where tourists would go. “Some people watching TV thought the whole city burned up,” one local told me. “Some people thought the entire state burned,” said another in Crested Butte. Fortunately, Colorado’s fire-impacted areas represent less than 1 percent of the state’s 23 million acres of public land.

    A stopover in Denver at Elitch Gardens.

    ByEileen Ogintz August 8, 2012July 8, 2021

    I love that Elitch Gardens has such a history dating back to 1890. It opened with a zoo, summer stock and a ballroom. The carousel, which took craftsmen three years to carve by hand, has been here since 1928 and still operates today; The Ferris Wheel was erected in 1936 and still operates.

    Last day in Aspen — biking to Woody Creek Tavern

    ByEileen Ogintz August 7, 2012July 15, 2021

    What’s left? Biking, of course. Locals are huge mountain bikers so we’ve at least got to give it a shot. We opt for the Rio Grande Trail—a rail to trail favorite of locals for running, hiking, walking and of course biking.
