    ByEileen Ogintz July 5, 2011June 28, 2023

    Two years ago this summer we were in Bora Bora, as part of our sailing through Tahiti, and we ended our sailing trip at the Four Seasons. Great luxe resort, but more…

    Broadway is booming with family entertainment

    ByEileen Ogintz July 4, 2011June 28, 2023

    How much would you pay for a memory? I was thinking about that looking around at the parents, grandparents and hoards of young children—especially little boys—at the Foxwoods Theater on Broadway where Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark, the most expensive production ever mounted and one fraught with problems and delays, has recently opened.

    Early American history comes alive in and around Philadelphia

    ByEileen Ogintz June 30, 2011June 28, 2023

    The Continental Army. Here in the heart of historic Philadelphia on a steamy summer day, we’ve time traveled back to the heady days of the American Revolution, the drafting of the Declaration of Independence and the making of Betsy Ross’ famous flag sewn at the request of General George Washington — all right where it all happened — thanks to 30 terrific costumed “History Makers,” as well as 40 first-rate storytellers from the nonprofit Historic Philadelphia organization .

    ByEileen Ogintz June 23, 2011June 28, 2023

The good news for those of us without unlimited resources: Choose your dates wisely and you may be able to vacation like the rich and famous

    In Freeport Maine, a restauranteur who gets it about kids and nutrition

    ByEileen Ogintz June 23, 2011June 28, 2023

    What sets this place apart is his philosophy that I wish other restaurant owners and chefs would embrace. Rather than limiting kids to a kids menu, he offers smaller portions of just about everything on the menu – from calamari to filet mignon and Scottish salmon — at a reduced price.

    Maine’s Hidden Pond resort is designed for 21st Century families

    ByEileen Ogintz June 22, 2011June 28, 2023

    Hidden Pond is just 16 spacious cottages spread over 60 wooded acres a mile from Kennebunkport’s famous Goose Rocks Beach that’s open just from May to October. It’s a place where kids can tool around on bikes, go for a hike, do cannon balls in the pool and gather around the fire pit for s’mores and even take an outdoor shower in the cottages or pick vegetables or herbs in the gardens
