The 8 Best Activities for Parents and Kids in Baltimore
By Eileen Gunn
For a long time Baltimore was a place for us to stretch our legs, eat something (and find a clean bath room) on the way to or from Washington, DC. But Tiny Traveler and I recently had the opportunity* to spend a weekend in Charm City. We learned that it is chock full of family friendly activities, including a few surprises.
Here is a roundup of what we did (I suggest a …

One Family’s First Home Exchange Experience
I had always wanted to visit London but things were always getting in my way—in particular, the notoriously high costs of eating in the city’s restaurants and sleeping in its hotels. Then I went to work for a home exchange website and needed to try out our service, which gave me the nudge I needed to visit this pricey city with my 7- and 9-year-olds in tow.

5 Travel Tips for LGBT Parents
In our first year of marriage, my wife Kendra and I tested our relationship with a six-week trip to Europe. Fortunately it was a great tip and the first of many more.

Unfortunately, everything I know about the Hamptons I’ve learned from watching Sex and the City and Revenge, which tend focus on adult pursuits like drinking, back-stabbing and adultery.

Sidney: Vancouver’s Best Secret for Family Vacations
When we contemplated returning to Canada with our young family after a decade overseas we wanted a friendly, walkable town with plenty of (cheap or free) things to do with kids like the summertime outdoor market to the right. We found Sidney, a former fishing town on Vancouver Island.
