3 of the Best Places to Visit in Florida

· Leave a Comment

Florida has so much more to it than Disney World. When you visit this subtropical state, remember that Florida has more than 600 miles of beaches and more than 1,000 miles of coastline. Get to the beach, enjoy the palm trees, and experience nature the way only Florida can provide it. When you visit three of the best places to visit in Florida: Miami, Daytona Beach, or Clearwater, you’re getting quintessential Florida vacation time without setting foot in a theme park.

Miami

Miami is known for its beautiful beaches, Cuban culture, and bustling nightlife. You also don’t want to miss the Vizcaya Museum and Gardens, an estate constructed 100 years ago that has since been turned into a museum. Little Havana is always a fun dose of culture and great food, even if you’ve been several times before. For traveling families, the Miami Seaquarium will delight everyone old and young.

Hotels in Miami range from low-key and affordable to swanky and luxurious. Stay by the beach on the cheap by choosing Hotel Urbano at Brickell or Motel Bianco. Get great rates inland when you book at La Quinta Inn Miami Airport North. Ready to treat yourself? The Ritz-Carlton in South … Read more...

3 Tips to Keeping Your Kids Happy and Entertained During a Great Outdoors Vacation

When it comes to family vacations, keeping everyone happy isn’t always easy. After all, everyone has their wants, needs and issues when it comes to travel. Maybe your partner can’t stand airports. Meanwhile, one kid might get motion sickness from roller coasters while their brother or sister gets bored at museums.

This is why a great outdoors vacation has become so popular with families. In this digital age getting away from it all is a good idea. A great outdoors vacation includes many potential activities that allow your family members to have fun at their own pace.

Sightseeing. Rafting. Hiking. You name it.

As noted by Outdoorsy.co, camping and RV trips are a great way to see the world and make memories. They’re definitely something that families should consider if they haven’t done so already. That being said, it’s crucial that parents do everything they possibly can to set a positive tone for the trip. Rather than dealing with meltdowns or tantrums from your kids, keep the following tips in mind to avoid a potential vacation disaster.

Keep Your Home Safe This Summer

· 2 Comments

Thank you to SimpliSafe for this guest post. I did not receive compensation for this post. 


Now that the summer months are here, homeowners should begin considering the ways in which they can protect their homes. With the warmer weather, homeowners tend to get laxer with keeping their home safe. For instance, they often keep windows open or unlocked to easily get a warm summer breeze throughout the home. Because of reasons such as this, home burglary rates increase in the summertime. Luckily, you can use the following tips to decrease the chance of this happening to your home.

Assess Your Home

The first step you should take to protect your home is by putting yourself in the shoes of a burglar. Step outside and look for any weak points your home has. Are there windows that are easy to break in to? Are there shady spots someone would be able to hide in? Are there trees that lead up to a window on the second floor that a burglar could climb? Take the necessary steps to protect your home from these weaknesses.

Outside Your Home

When you’re away for an extended amount of time, it’s … Read more...
