Looking for a fun, family-friendly beach destination in Texas?!? Check out South Padre Island! Home to the best beach in Texas and known as the "Sandcastle Capital of the World."

You can quickly fill an entire weekend at South Padre with fun family activities and only scratch the surface of all the island offers. Check out my new blog post for more details, but here are a few things you cannot miss!

- Spend the day at Beach Waterpark. A trip to SPI, especially in the summer, is only complete with a visit to this epic waterpark. It has an iconic sandcastle aquatic playground with several slides for young kids, and a 1,400-gallon water tipping bucket!

- Learn how to build a sandcastle with sandyfeet sandcastle services. The Sandy Feet team teach you how to make epic sandcastles using everyday items like plastic silverware. Plus you get to spend time at the beach!

- Go on an eco-friendly dolphin watch with The Original Dolphin Watch. South Padre Island is home to several year-round pods. After watching dolphins swim in the channel, you can see marine life up close before they release them back into the water. We saw about five different dolphins, including a mommy with her baby.

- Enjoy family-friendly activities at Gravity Park South Padre Island. Drive go-karts, ride the Ferris Wheel, play a round of mini golf, and the two most thrilling adventures—ride a giant swing and the world’s tallest reverse bungee!

Have you heard of La Romana in the Dominican Republic? It is a hidden slice of paradise an hour south of Punta Cana and our new favorite Caribbean destination.

Don't just take our word for it. Did you know that La Romana has an exclusive community resort that welcomes celebrities like the Kardashians, Rihanna, Jay-Z, Beyonce, Michael Jordan, and former U.S. presidents? It was also the location for The Bachelorette finale and home to the #1 golf course in the Caribbean! Needless to say, La Romana is a hidden slice of paradise in the Dominican Republic and THE place to be!

We had such a wonderful family trip to La Romana. A few of our favorite things were feeding cheeky monkeys, taking a boat ride to Saona Island, learning how to make ci**rs, and visiting a Mediterranean-inspired village.

And as a young family of 3 boys under 4, we are picky when it comes to booking excursions. I can confidently say that these three companies are all you need to enjoy the best things in La Romana.

Slow Dive Casa Chihuahua - this awesome local tour company specializes in small group eco-friendly PADI courses, full-day and night dives, snorkeling, and land and sea excursions. Slow Dive Casa Chihuahua is the best because of their dedication to teaching beginner and advanced divers how to dive sustainably.

We booked a private boat tour to Saona Island to control the pace with our kids and had an amazing trip! Slow Dive (William) was great with our kids and knowledgeable. They really catered to our needs and gave us an epic day on the water that we will never forget!

Dominican Attitude Excursions - another wonderful company specializing in small groups and private tours. I could not find any tours online that had everything I wanted until I found Dominican Attitude. They took us to a cigar factory (one of my favorite things we did, and I don't even smoke), a chocolate factory, the Cave of Wonders, and finished at the marvelous Altos de Chavon. They create custom tailor-made tours, so if you don't see anything you like online, contact them!

Runners Adventures - operates some of the most popular excursions in the Dominican Republic: Monkeyland, Jungle Buggy Adventure and Ziplining! You can enjoy one of these tours for a half-day excursions or easily combine multiple excursions for one epic day! We did the half-day Monkeyland and Plantation Tour and had a great time. It's a fun experience for all ages. Just watch out for those cheeky monkeys ☺

NEW blog post featuring the best Kid-Friendly Breweries and Distilleries in Dripping Springs.

We LOVE the Texas Hill Country, and Dripping Springs has quickly become one of our favorite destinations. The small city is known for its abundant breweries, distilleries, and wineries. The booze flows as much as its mineral springs. Thankfully, for families, there are plenty of kid-friendly breweries and distilleries with kid's menus, epic playgrounds, wooden forts, and even goats!

In my article, you can read about every kid-friendly brewery and distillery, but here is a snippet of some of our favorite places.

Beerburg Brewing - a unique brewery that focuses on a family atmosphere and one-of-a-kind beers sourced from sustainable ingredients. Their Wildcraft Beers feature native ingredients foraged from Texas. Families will enjoy the coloring book kids menu, homemade ice cream, and the nature playscape.

Fitzhugh Brewing - known for its historic and world-regional beers. The brewmaster gets as many ingredients as possible from the inspired destinations to match the exact beer profile. So, when you drink an Italian-style beer at Fitzhugh Brewery, it will taste the same as if you were drinking it in Italy. Outside is a gorgeous white playground to match the modern farmhouse style of the brewery. The playground has a rock wall, a rope ladder, two slides, and a cute hangout spot with chairs.

Jester King Brewery - specializes in farmhouse ales, barrel-aged farmhouse ales, spontaneous fermentations, lagers, culture IPAs, pale ales, and stouts. It's also more than a brewery. It is a destination. The 165-acre property has walking nature trails, a wood-fired pizzeria, a rustic inn, a wooden play fort, and a working goat farm where you can step inside the pen and pet the goats.

Suds Monkey Brewing - is a nano brewery and lively local spot. They host weekly entertainment like BINGO and Trivia Nights that's fun for everyone. Their scratch-made pizza (Detroit style) and pizza rolls are delicious, and we LOVE the kid's play area. It has an awesome wooden jeep, rock wall, sand pit, slides, and tires to climb.

Dripping Springs Distilling - is the second distillery in Texas and one of the most unique vodka distilleries in the country! They have one-of-a-kind, 50-gallon, handcrafted copper stills you cannot find anywhere else. The distillery produces vodka, infused vodkas, traditional and American-style gin, and more. The outdoor area is lovely for families, with plenty of space to run around, a small playground, and a one-net soccer field.

Treaty Oak Distilling - is a haven for families and friends to enjoy experiences in the heart of the Texas Hill Country. The 28-acre ranch has an authentic Texas barbecue restaurant, an open-air bar, an 18-wheel truck turned stage for live music, a playground for kids, bourbon tours, brisket classes, and more. You can order a flight of whiskey or gin, handcrafted cocktails, and pitchers (yes, pitchers) of cocktails and beers.

NEW family travel post "The Best Things to Do in St. Louis with Toddlers."

St. Louis is the most toddler-friendly destination we have visited yet (and I am not just saying that because Adam is an STL native). Now more than ever, cities have more inclusive museums and indoor play areas for kids, and St. Louis is one of them.

St. Louis is brimming with a variety of museums, and each one has dedicated spaces for toddlers. As a mom of 3 kids under 3, I appreciate this more than most.

Here are the best museums in St. Louis for toddlers. And check out my new post for other fun things to do.

City Museum, St Louis, MO - the ULTIMATE playground! The museum is an exhibit of repurposed architectural and industrial objects to create an epic playground. Check out Toddler Town on the third floor. It is a smaller version of slides and climbing fort structures with an awesome ball pit and a mini rope trampoline.

Missouri History Museum - has an award-winning family exhibit, History Clubhouse, with special programs such as Babies and Toddlers Storytelling – and it's all FREE. The History Clubhouse is an interactive space for children and their families to learn and experience local history.

Myseum - a scientifically fun children's museum and indoor playground with over 30 unique, highly interactive, educational, and just plain fun exhibits. Overall, it's entirely toddler-friendly, but there is also a "Toddler Central" area for kids 38 inches and under.

Play Street Museum St. Louis - an imaginative indoor play area and children's museum that allows kids to have independence and explore their creativity in a safe environment. Their charming town square has a pet rescue, grocery store, Victorian house, doctor's office, fire truck, and a building on "fire." They also have a fun Slime Lab where kids can create sticky science experiments.

Saint Louis Science Center - is one of the nation's only free nonprofit museums. Their Discovery Room is for young scientists to immerse themselves in educational play. Kids can play on a giant rocket ship with a slide and operate voice controls, paint on the STEAM easel, play with water and sand sensory tables, observe a saltwater aquarium and insect displays, and more. There is also a dedicated Crawler Corner for young tots 2 and under.

The Magic House, St. Louis Children's Museum - is one of the best children's museums in the country, with over 20 interactive exhibits. Wonder Works is the most toddler-friendly exhibit, a colorful, STEM-focused exhibit with an awesome play structure that allows kids to learn and explore how simple machines work. Other favorites included going down an epic three-story slide and playing with bubbles in the Bubble Room. They also have a wonderful exhibit for toddlers and babies 2 and under.

The National Museum of Transportation - has the most extensive collection of transportation vehicles worldwide, showcasing historic stage coaches, trolley cars, steam locomotives, classic cars, aircrafts, and more. Kids can ride a miniature train and historic trolley, drive cute Little Tikes cars, operate handcars, activate small train sets, and play at the Creation Station - a fantastic indoor play area with hands-on learning experiences for all modes of transportation.

NEW post from the PNW "Best Stops on the Hood River Fruit Loop"

If you like booze, farm-to-table food, lavender, and picking fruit, this post is for you! This destination in Oregon is hands down, one of our favorite places ever.

The Hood River Fruit Loop is a 35-mile scenic drive and rural farm experience that includes distilleries, cideries, wineries, breweries, u-pick fruit orchards, lavender farms, fruit farm stands, bakeries, and more. All surrounded by a beautiful landscape with lovely views of Mt. Adams and Mt. Hood.

There are 28 stops on the Hood River Fruit Loop. My informative guide has all the details, but here are our favorite places to stop.

Apple Valley Country Store - to find homemade jarred products to fill your pantry and to taste freshly baked goods. Must order huckleberry cinnamon rolls (spring - summer), pear dumplings (fall), and their famous Tillamook huckleberry and marionberry milkshakes.

Fox-Tail Cider & Distillery - excellent selection of ciders and distilled spirits. The vodka, Brandy, and gin are created from Fox-Tail’s apple ciders. So every spirit is 100% apple based. Must order their famous cider-tasting tray, the spirit sampler, or both.

Grateful Vineyard - a boutique winery, a small craft cidery, and a microbrewery with breathtaking views of Mt. Hood. The cider and beer are made from their 100-year-old apple trees, cherries, peaches, and pears. The high-elevation sparkling wine is unique thanks to its estate vineyard location, with an alpine elevation and lower temperatures.

Hood River Lavender Farms - pick a bouquet or frolic through lavender fields with views of snow-capped mountains. You can also visit their charming farmhouse gift shop to bring home lavender merchandise such as moisturizing lotions, essential oils, handmade soap, bath bombs, therapeutic wraps, and more – all produced from the organic lavender grown on the farm.

Kiyokawa Family Orchards - has the largest u-pick orchard in the Hood River Valley, with over 150 varieties of apples, pears, Asian pears, cherries, stone fruit, and more. Their farm stand is just as massive and impressive with freshly picked fruit ready to eat.

Mt. View Orchards - a three-generation sustainable, 50-acre apple and pear farm with over 125 varieties. They have one of the best u-pick apple orchards in the country with panoramic views of Mt. Hood.

Packer Orchards - their bakery is “Pear-Fect” to find freshly baked goods and homemade jams, salsas, pickled veggies, and more. The bakery uses its sweet orchard pears for homemade jams and baked goodies to help reduce and, in some cases, eliminate the need for added sugar. Highly recommend you get one of their GIANT cookies and a fruit empanada.

Stave & Stone Winery - vineyard tasting room has breathtaking views of Mt. Adams behind rows of grape vines. The winery has an excellent selection of award-winning pinot noir ranging from medium full-bodied to a pinot noir rosé and a refreshing rosé bubbly. You can choose from three different flights and order delicious bites of food while enjoying scenic views of lavender fields, vineyards, Mt. Hood, and Mt. Adams.

The Gorge White House - a fourth-generation family-owned and operated farm that offers hard ciders, wines, farm-to-table food, u-pick fruit, flowers, and more. The farm-to-table food cart prepares delicious locally sourced burgers, refreshing sandwiches, and fruit-forward flatbreads. I know it sounds different, but I highly recommend the blueberry & sausage flatbread and pear quesadilla. Some of the best food we've ever had.

The Old Trunk - a family-friendly antique store with a soda fountain, soft-serve ice cream machine, fruit stand, and a quaint garden of flowers and berries. Known for their 1950's antique shake machine for soft-serve berry shakes, sodas, fantastic vintage vinyl collection and rotating funky antique inventory. So grab something sweet and look around the store because you never know what hidden gems you will find.

NEW POST "The Ultimate 3 Days in Portland, OR Itinerary"

We really enjoyed our trip to Portland last summer. The city lives up to its nickname, "keep Portland weird," but more importantly, the people are some of the friendliest in the country.

The donuts are insanely delicious, the gardens are beautiful, and all the top and unique sites live up to the hype. Also, Portland has some of the best food we've ever eaten. I think we ate donuts twice, ice cream, and beer, all within a few hours :)

My 3 Days in Portland Itinerary is a complete guide. It includes the best time to visit, where to stay, how to get around, the best things to do, and a mini food guide.

This was our first international trip as a family, and we loved it! Thanks to Living Dreams Mexico and our private guide Claudia for making "our sweet adventures" in Tulum feel safe, fun, and easy. She cared for our boys like they were her own.

Living Dreams Mexico took us on two epic days of adventures. We went to Coba Ruins, Tulum Ruins, Muyil Ruins, Car Wash Cenote, SFER IK, La Zebra Beach, and more.

You can read about the places we went to and more in my new post!

Oregon is a dream for waterfalls😍 For an entire day, we went chasing waterfalls, and it was amazing. Some we hiked a few miles to see, others we walked across the parking lot and were feet away from plunging waterfalls.

Here are 8 of the best waterfalls in Columbia River Gorge that you can see in just one day.

Looking for something fun to do this weekend? I have your answer!

How about a safari tour in the heart of the Texas Hill Country with a wine tasting?!? Followed by a grape stomp, scenic views, live music, delicious burgers, dancing at a dance hall, and staying in a cute Airbnb attached to the dance hall! Plus, there are yard games, friendly petting goats, a sand pit, and playgrounds for kids!

Our family had a wonderful time at Grapetown Vineyard and Bankersmith, TX. They are owned by the same family, which is why we felt at home in both places. They are also right across the street from one another. So you can spend a full weekend at both destinations and never get bored.

Grapetown Vineyard is easily the BEST family-friendly winery in Fredericksburg! The highlight of the winery is the safari tour with a wine tasting.

The safari tour takes guests on a ride in a safari jeep or tram. Guests will experience up-close encounters and feedings with exotic and rescue animals such as camels, zebras, longhorns, bison, alpacas, donkeys, goats, and more. After the safari tour, you can enjoy an amazing wine tasting of award-winning wines.

Once you have finished indulging in fabulous wines, head over to Bankersmith - a ghost town “where nobody is anybody” with a population of zero…until you get there!

This fun ghost town has a vintage bus with goats, a “saloon” (full bar), a restaurant, a dance hall, yard games, a kid’s playground, and cozy lodging! The town also hosts country festivals almost every Saturday and live music on most days.

And OMG, the food here…amazing! The burgers are made in-house with grass-fed beef that is raised at Grapetown Vineyard’s farm. Honestly, it was the best burger we've ever had! Another local and fan-favorite is the pulled pork. It is so delicious, they put it on everything! Highly recommend the Pulled Pork on Fries.

Now how does that sound for a fun weekend?!?

Two weeks have passed since we visited Oklahoma City, and we have been telling everyone to visit ASAP! Especially families!

The Modern Frontier City has so many things to do for toddlers. And all within 15 minutes of each other. What I love the most is how the museums are kid-friendly with STEAM activities. We find museums are always geared toward adults, but in OKC, the museums are for the kids just as much as the adults. And that is awesome!

Here are some museums to check out in OKC with toddlers.

Science Museum Oklahoma - hands down the best science museum ever! Toddlers can learn about science through interactive play. There are 20 exhibits for children to discover - including the whimsical Curio City. Curio City has a quirky playground, a music area, a water sensory area, a human-powered carousel, and more.

Oklahoma State Firefighters Museum, & Fallen & Living Firefighters Memorial - families can learn about the history of Oklahoma's fire service, climb on restored fire trucks, ring the fire alarm, check out the largest display of firefighter patches, and more.

National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum - has a brand new outdoor exhibit called, Liichokoshkomo’, a Chickasaw phrase for “Let’s play.” The outdoor exhibit is a hands-on educational play space with different stations for western and Native American STEAM activities.

Oklahoma Railway Museum - families can learn how the railroads and train travel helped shape Oklahoma, and see an extensive collection of locomotives. The best part is you can ride on a passenger coach pulled by a vintage diesel locomotive. (April through August on the 1st and 3rd Saturday of the month.)

Oklahoma City Zoo and Botanical Garden - okay, so not a museum, but you cannot miss the OKC Zoo. The OKC Zoo is an accredited zoo by AZA that allows guests to have an up-close encounter with animals while supporting several conservation projects. Toddlers can feed giraffes, spend time at the children's zoo petting barn animals, get wet at the splash area, ride a carousel, play on a playground, and more.

We recently visited Oklahoma City, one of the best family-friendly cities in the U.S., and had the best trip!

Typically, we find it difficult to find things for toddlers to enjoy, but in Oklahoma City, it was easy. The Modern Frontier city has created an innovative and fun environment for kids of all ages. So if you are looking for your next family trip, read my NEW post and book a trip to Oklahoma City!

https://www.oursweetadventures.com/best-things-to-do-in-oklahoma-city-with-toddlers/

Here are four FREE things to do in Oklahoma City with toddlers.

Myriad Botanical Gardens - visit this interactive urban botanical garden and park. Ride the vintage carousel, splash at Thunder Fountain, and play at the Children’s Garden, which is accessible to children of ALL abilities.

Scissortail Park - visit this world-class urban park with a state-of-the-art Children’s Park, and Sprayground. The Sprayground has tall water jets spraying water for kids to run under and enjoy. The Children’s Park is a playground with multiple areas for endless play and challenging climbing structures to build a child’s development. There are sandpits, a large wooden fort with a tower and slides, an obstacle course, a rock climbing wall, and more.

Plaza Walls - visit this rotating outdoor gallery of street art of over 30 murals featuring artists locally and around the nation. There is also an indoor gallery filled with prints of current and previous murals.

21c Museum Hotel Oklahoma City - visit this contemporary museum and award-winning boutique hotel. The art gallery has interactive site-specific art installations. It is open 24/7 and free to the public and hotel guests. There are also purple penguins for kids to interact and play with.
