I travel for the Kids

The Art of the Family Vacation

PALM SPRINGS – They created spin art on vintage vinyl, felted tiny rocks, and painted T-shirts while screaming (with joy, I think) for hours.

Coming in for The Landing

HARBOUR ISLAND, Bahamas – It's all about superb simplicity, laid-back atmosphere, and a slight British vibe. If I’ve undersold my love, let me be clear: This would be my Death Row meal.

Mommy-Daughter Weekend in Paris

PARIS – Cliche as it is, the city holds special charm for girls. Christina Ohly takes her daughter on her first trip, and falls in love with the city anew.

New Shop: International Toy Store

World-curious kids are made, not born. And nothing will help nudge them on the explorer path better than globally-minded toys and gadgets and books.

How to Raise World-Curious Kids

It's never too early to become a globetrotter. But it's one thing to say you're taking a toddler to Tokyo; it's another thing to figure out how to do it and get them to like it. Here's how it's done.

American Glory at the Greenbrier

WEST VIRGINIA – My daughter found an empty ballroom and started dancing on the stage. Suddenly, she saw her moving image on the surrounding walls. It was heaven for her.

A Few Days in Paso Robles, California

PASO ROBLES, California – The new Napa Valley is more laid-back, less expensive, and somehow cooler. Feel free to bring the kids. Everyone wants to unwind on the Central Coast.

Italy Loves Bambini

ITALY – When you travel to Italy with a child, you are traveling with a celebrity. In America, a parent may help in a time of need; in Italy, everyone from grandmothers to teenage boys pitch in.
