Disney Parks Replaces the Guest Assistance Program
We love going to Disney World. In addition to all of the magic most people experience when visiting the parks, we get something a bit extra: overwhelming support for Bug’s food allergies. Accommodations like that can make or break a vacation. We are fortunate in that, despite some sensory challenges that both of our kids…

Mt. Washington Cog Railway–A Journey in Pictures
I have lived in New England for most of my life so I’m a bit embarrassed to admit that I have never been to the top of Mt. Washington, the tallest peak in the Northeast. I’ve been to the White Mountains, but we’ve always stayed at a lower elevation. When I received information about a…

When I went ziplining, I wasn’t at all concerned about falling to my death. Instead, I was concerned…

Traveling the Maine Coast on Amtrak’s Downeaster
I’m a big fan of train travel. I find it to be a relaxing way to get to your destination. You don’t have to worry about traffic, security lines, tolls, or checked luggage. You can move about freely, the bathrooms are roomy, and you can get a hot meal, cold beverage or snacks in the…

The Shoes We Wore Puzzle from Ceaco Supports One Fund Boston
One of my favorite ways to pass an evening while on vacation is to put together a jigsaw puzzle with my family. We do it every year. Now, puzzles make me think of warm summer days and gathering together. For many Bostonians, this is the same feeling that Patriots Day and the Boston Marathon evoke……
