Wow! Disneyland was the ultimate family destination. We took our three children, ages 2, 6 and 8 for our 6 year old's birthday. There was something for everyone! We stayed at Disney's Paradise Pier and spent our dinners at Goofy's kitchen. Paradise pier was under construction, but Disney did not let that dull our trip! We got to go to both Disneyland Hotel and the Grand Californian to dip in their pool. We were in awe the entire time we were at Disneyland. Goofy's kitchen allowed our children to experience the characters multiple times, and our 2 year old even made a "best friend" in Minnie.

Our favourite rides were Space Mountain, Dumbo's flying Elephants, Mad Hatter's Tea Party, and of course It's a Small World! In Disney California Adventure, we got to meet more characters and collect autographs, ride the incredicoaster and watch World of Colour. It was the trip of a lifetime! We are already planning our next trip back.

Seattle is a place we revisit often with our children, and every time we fall more and more in love with the city. Alki Beach is a hidden gem in Seattle, with soft sand beaches and no waves! The perfect place to swim, place, and some great local restaurants located right across the street.

Seattle's boardwalk area boasts an amazing aquarium where we were able to interact with sea life! The Crab Pot located underneath Seattle's ferris wheel is a wonderful stop for local food and you surely will not finish your plate!

The beaches in Cuba are beautiful! I was thoroughly impressed with the food, although not a ton of variety, what we had access to was delicious and well prepared. Our resort was beautiful and the people are friendly, Havana was a great place to visit and we cannot wait to go back.

Puerto Vallarta is full of friendly people and a wonderful place for exploring. I did this trip with friends and we enjoyed night life on the Malecon, eating at local restaurants and gorgeous local beaches. We stayed at the Royal Decameron in Bucerias, where the resort feels like part of the city! Royal Decameron offers amazing food and great entertainment.

For excursions, we travelled to a nearby island, went parasailing and got to view some dolphins swimming next to our boat!
