Spending time on a dude ranch is not our first thought for a getaway for my family of city slickers, but boy has our minds been changed! Pinegrove Family Dude Ranch in the Catskills was so welcoming and homey. The all inclusive rustic resort was the perfect setting for some family bonding.

We’re constantly on the move, so when vacation calls, we’ve worked hard to play hard. We’ll travel far and wide, close and local to unwind. Sure the distance of a destination makes it’s a getaway, but it’s the company you have that makes it a true “bon voyage”! As a family of four, it’s important for us to remember to keep exploring this great world and all it has to offer. All of our trips are never short of a scenic day at the beach, a stop to a dining hidden gem, and of course, cultural richness! Wherever we go: Hawaii, LA, the Vermont slopes or to the couch, we’re ready to share with you this long winding road of wanderlust!

Since then both JD and Gia Amelia have decided traveling and exploring…

Here are my top five necessities (in no specific order) that rest assured passengers will be in our Paddlepak, for our flight to Tampa this weekend. 1. Yondi. Moms I know you can relate to long car rides, plane…
Much like a bear in the winter, I prefer to hibernate more than anything. Can you blame me, as brutal temperatures, and dry skin comes to mind, I’d sooner stay in my pajamas. However once the kids were old enough to protest, we knew it was time to engage in all kinds of outdoor activities, and to my surprise I enjoy them! Of course one of our favorite winter adventures is visiting Woodloch Pines with The Moms and friends. As the sun rose…
