Family

Traveling with my little girl has been a challenge, but also so rewarding. Getting to see the world through her eyes has shifted how I see the world and where I want to take her!

In my family posts, I hope to share some tips on how to make traveling with kids easier and to highlight some of my favorite family friendly destinations, hotels and gear!

‘It takes a village’ and I know we all need all the support we can get!

Universal Studios Hollywood has a lot of celebrities at Christmas time: Harry Potter, The Grinch, Jurassic Park Dinosaurs... and I spent the day visiting them all and filming on my GoPro! Harry Potter World just opened earlier in 2016 so I spent a magical day checking out Hogwarts, Hogsmeade, the rides, the foods, the wands and the Butterbeer! And since it was Christmas season, they even had Who-Ville, with the Grinch, the famous Who Christmas Tree and many Who's walking about, ready to speak with you. We even snuck in a Jurassic Park ride! I hope this GoPro vlog guide helps you make the most of your trip to Universal! Tip: Don't bother with the buttebeer!
