Sonoma with kids: family day trip to Wine Country, California
This is our round up of the best things to do in Sonoma with kids, including a selection of family-friendly wineries in Sonoma Valley, a visit in Traintown and outdoor family friendly activities in Sonoma county, California. One of the many reasons that made us choose the Bay Area, for a summer family vacation, is the abundance of activities for adults and kids in the area.

My perfect 24 hours in San Francisco with kids
I love discovering new places, but some cities have such a special pull on me that no matter how many times I visit them, I still long to go back. One of them is gorgeous San Francisco, the city we visited last summer and one I seem to never get enough of. Our San Francisco family trip was three weeks long (It included trips to Sonoma, Muir Woods, Monterey and Yosemite), but the city is so rich in culture and treasures that I already find myself wishing I could go back: ‘even just 24 hours in San Francisco with kids would be ok with me’, I keep saying to my…

How to spend 1 perfect day in Toronto with kids
What can you see and do with a day in Toronto with kids? We visited Toronto with a toddler and a 4-year-old: these are our favourite things to do in Toronto with kids, favourite family friendly hotel and Toronto with children highlight. Until the moment it entered my window-seat field of vision, Ontario had been, for me, the stuff of dreams. I first learned its name on the Risk board, along equally evocative names such as ‘Kamchatka peninsula’ and I could hardly believe that now we were only minutes away from landing beside its shores. Toronto airport was now in sight and the waters of Lake Ontario were shining in…
