Wonder & Awe At WonderWorks!
WonderWorks – Orlando, Florida If you find yourself in Orlando, have done all the parks but still have a few days to kill before you need to head home, take a day and visit WonderWorks. We were fortunate and so excited to spend the day at Wonderworks to celebrate a birthday with dear family friends. It was a magical day that we will never forget. There were so many incredible things to see and do. From morning until evening (literally, it closes at 8 pm mon-Fri and 11 pm on weekends) There are science puzzles, riddles and fantastical things galore to do!

Up, Up and Away!
Looking to create a truly memorable family experience that everyone can enjoy? Why not rev up the adrenaline a bit, and try your hand at skydiving!! It’s funny how there are certain things you would never do unless it was for someone you love…well we can add indoor sky diving to this list! It was one of those experiences that we would have never chosen to do on our own but because our son, Ace, desperately wants to actually jump out of a real airplane at 30,000 ft (like his Dad) we found ourselves doing the next best thing. Even though we were all terrified, we found ourselves letting go…

Volcano National Park, Hawai’i
If you are traveling to Hawaii, you are obviously in for a long trip. It’s a good thing they haven’t built the bridge yet as it seems it might be a long drive. Also, it’s not closer to Japan than California – in case that needed to be cleared up. If you are going to commit to making the long commute, the best thing you can do is give yourself plenty of time to visit every island. Each island has its own feel, and each one is totally unique from all the others. Really, you can spend an entire vacation on each island if you wanted but then you are…

Unfortunately, the cubs both drowned, but the momma bear continued to wait, hoping her cubs would show up. Unfortunately, they never did, but instead, two islands were formed where the cubs were laid to…

Support The National Park Trust
Aloha – I’m Ace. I am 11 years old, and in the 6th Grade. Beautiful Hawai’i is my home, however I split most of my time also in Florida and Colorado in between traveling with my fun family.

Either way, today, I want to talk to you about The National Park…
