Even though we flew to Florida I would definitely call the last week a road trip. We stayed in three different resorts in three different locations so a lot of our time was spent traveling from place to place. Therefore, at least some of our time was spent in and out of the car. We are all now up on … [Read more...]

Toronto Travel Diary Part Two: ROM & Bata
Busy Thursday for the urbanmoms families, as Jen and I took our kids to the Royal Ontario Museum and the Bata Shoe Museum! Since both museums are only a block away from each other, it seemed like a great way to take in two attractions in one day (and on one subway fare!)At the ROM, we decided to … [Read more...]
