Travel with Teens and Tweens Early Summer 2011 Blog Carnival

Jun 212011

Our latest travel with teens and tweens blog carnival takes us around the world, under water and to a show. We had a chance to visit with several blogs we have been reading for a while and added some new ones that we met via the terrific family travel blogger list recently published by Debbie at Delicious Baby. We’ll start the carnival with a visit to LA for a one of a kind concert, then see the world with adventurous teens, tweens, parents and siblings. We hope you enjoy the ride (and the swim!).

A Holiday Thank You to Mom Travel Bloggers

With the holidays on the way we’ve been decking the halls, sending cards, baking cookies, making our lists and checking them twice, throwing holiday parties and planning for winter skiing at Vermont’s Burke Mountain and Smugglers’ Notch as well a summer cruise to Alaska with Royal Caribbean on the Radiance of the Seas. The teens have even more travel coming with school-sponsored trips to New York City and Washington DC, a church ski trip and a Habitat for Humanity Service trip. And of course, we are making the rounds of various seasonal hockey tournaments which gave us an opportunity to visit the Newport, RI Breakers Mansion at Christmas. As a result, its only just now, a few days before Christmas, that we are catching up on some of our [...]

Welcome to the October 2010 edition of the Travel with Teens and Tweens blog carnival. As our regular readers know, since our return from the Jersey Shore, we have been focusing our travel energies on visits to several New England college campuses including UMass Amherst, University of New Hampshire and Northeastern University. Although our travels have been rather academic as of late, many of our fellow family bloggers have been having a wide range of adventures. Our focus this month is on family travels during the autumn and late summer of 2010.
