I travel for the Kids

Hey Kids, Let's Go to LA

LOS ANGELES – Pizzas, tar pits, movie stars, boardwalks, Greek relics, swimming pools, 1950s soda fountains. L.A. just may be the city of dreams for kids. Not bad for parents, either.

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

Mommy-Daughter Weekend in Paris
