    Thinking back on all the great family times at the beach

    ByEileen Ogintz February 3, 2013July 10, 2021

    I wish I were at the beach.I’m guessing so do a lot of people right about now when it is freezing across the country. At least I can think about the fun times on the beach in recent months:

    Families welcome for sun and fun on Anguilla

    ByEileen Ogintz January 31, 2013July 7, 2021

    Locals are quick to tell you Anguilla, a British territory, isn’t only about the beaches, though their motto is “tranquility wrapped in blue.” “I have lived in Anguilla for 20 years and the thing that never changes is the people,” says children’s book author Jo-Anne Mason, originally from Brooklyn.

    Mixing and matching different tastes on the ski mountain

    ByEileen Ogintz January 27, 2013July 7, 2021

    Even in the most terrific locales, nothing goes as planned. Someone gets sick (we’ve had lots of ear infections). Someone ends up in the ER (me, here three years ago after a bad fall). Someone has a meltdown. And someone just doesn’t want to spend that much time with mom and dad.

    Skiing the backcountry at the C Lazy U Ranch in Colorado

    ByEileen Ogintz January 25, 2013July 15, 2021

    No we’re not at a ski resort –there isn’t even a ski lift or any other skiers anywhere in the vicinity. That’s because we’re on some of the 8,000-plus acres at nine thousand elevation at the C Lazy U Ranch in Granby CO.

    Families having lots of fun in the snow in New Hampshire

    ByEileen Ogintz January 24, 2013December 16, 2024

    Dog sledding, is just one of the ways you might not have thought of to have fun in the snow here in New Hampshire’s Mount Washington Valley that includes 27 towns surrounding Mount Washington, the pinnacle of the 6,288-foot White Mountains

    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.
