Home is truly where my heart is. I miss being away from my family, but I am so grateful that we have been able to see each other twice within the past three months. My parents were in Atlanta during Memorial Day weekend, so I visited them and other family...

The first time I traveled to Manhattan, I stayed with a colleague from law school, so I didn't have to stay in a hotel. My oldest daughter has talked about Times Square before, so we decided to find somewhere close to Times Square, especially since we were going to...

During our stay at Atlantis, we spent a lot of time at Marina Village. Marina Village has beautiful shops, local artists, and great restaurants. They also have Ben & Jerry's, which my kids loved. This is the most expensive Ben & Jerry's I have ever visited....

When I was in New York years ago, the Empire State Building was the attraction of tourists. There are still many tourists who want to experience the Empire State Building, but SUMMIT is the best thing, in my opinion, for kids. The Empire State Building does have a lot...
