Our kids like to think they’re very clever, they enjoy puzzles and adventures, special missions and general espionage. There’s not much call for that in everyday life, sometimes you need a daytrip to meet the need. So, with that in mind we headed to Greenan Maze, near Rathdrum in Co.…
Museums and kids are a tricky mix. They enjoy some parts but not others, so balance is absolutely vital to a successful visit. On our recent London trip we threw caution to the wind and decided to go for broke, declaring Day 3 to be Museum Day. One Day, Three…
We hadn’t been to Kerry since Cathal was very small, and had only spent an afternoon in Killarney then as we were based in Tralee. Our last visit to the town for a minibreak was severely restrictedby the Foot and Mouth Outbreak back in the early 2000’s (the National Park…
Eating out on family holidays is always a balancing act with precision timing required. Go too late and the kids will be overtired and cranky, go too early and the kids will be overtired and cranky. You don’t want them eating chicken nuggets and chips every night but they are…

Day 2 of our London Citybreak with Kids. After the very long day of travelling and visiting the London Eye and clocking up 16km walking we vowed to walk a little less on Day 2, to give the kids (and their parents) a chance to rest. We took the train…
We’re just back from a five day/four night break in London with the kids. It’s a fantastic city to visit with family and we got to see so much our stay. Our focus was to do things that would engage the kids as that would leave all of us happier.…
I went on a 48 hour city break to Paris with two friends way back in October. We’d all been there before so we had a pretty laid back itinerary, yet we still seem to have covered so much. To read all about our first day including the fab central…
