This list was mostly made by our now nearly 9-year-old when he was 7. I have added a few myself afterwards but these are mostly his ideas and I feel they work pretty well for just about all ages. This is a UK-based list of all the ultimate summer bucket list things to do with […]
Sundown Adventureland in North Nottinghamshire is a great theme park for under 10s. During the winter they transform into one of the best places to meet Santa in the East Midlands. This is a review from a previous year and some aspects may not be the same this year. Please check their website. Sundown Marketplace […]
Kimmeridge Bay is another famous fossil-hunting beach. The cliff-top car park is privately owned so there is a charge to park. A short walk down a path will take you directly onto the beach, but take care it is slippy and rocky. Directly in front of you on the beach is a concrete gun turret. […]

The first hotel we stayed at during our 3 week holiday to Florida was Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge. This was a hotel we knew we really wanted to stay at but for us it was expensive and so we only allowed a 2-night stay in our schedule. I was concerned that this wasn’t long enough […]
Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge is a Deluxe resort hotel. We spent our first two nights of our Disney adventures there and it was not cheap! For our next Disney stay, we decided to stay somewhere a bit cheaper and chose to stay at a Moderate Resort. We chose The Cabins at Disney’s Fort Wilderness. Again […]
