  One & Only Palmilla (with a baby!)  2023… What a whirlwind!  I still have many adventures I have yet to share with you about traveling with my family. I’m (finally!) updating my blog. One of my favorites was One & Only Palmilla 🌴for its glamorous, old-world-Mexican luxury with splendid ocean views. 🌊 One of my goals for this year was to take baby Max with me on every trip. I’m pleased to say that in 2023 he traveled internationally (three times!) visited 7 states, and took over 20 flights. ✈️  Palmilla... A wellness destination full of adventure as well as romantic spot for destination weddings with its own little chapel.  The ideal place to get away from it all, even the kids! You can bring the kiddos along, or introduce them to the kids club. They won't want to leave! I felt so relaxed and rejuvenated during this trip, even with a baby. Perhaps because we had our own private butler… That definitely helps put one at ease! Our room was right next to...

  The Four Seasons New Orleans  The good times rolled at the Four Seasons New Orleans. We have visited with and without a baby, and both times were magnificent. The Chandelier Bar (showed below) is magnificent! Miss River is a fun spot to eat, with jazz music. Chemin à la Mer is my favorite, with panoramic views of the Mississippi River. I always get the Savage Blonde Oysters. It is the place to go for traditional Louisiana fare with a twist of French techniques.  The fitness center at the Four Seasons is world class, but if you are looking for more of an outdoors family adventure, check out Audubon Park. There is a zoo as well as lovely grounds to stroll and walk off all the jambalaya & such. The Audubon Aquarium is actually closer to the Four Seasons than it is to Audubon Park! This experience is not to be missed. It was my son’s first aquarium experience. It was entertaining for us too.  Another fun spot with a unique bar experience, bar Marilou. a hidden gem ...

 Another trip in the books for my favorite colleague, my baby. This property goes all out for Christmas! 🎄    ⛲️ Natural mineral springs have drawn guests, including US presidents, to The Greenbrier for more than two centuries. The historic hotel opened in 1913. 📮Letters to Santa, a fun run and cookie decorating workshops are all part of The Greenbrier’s lineup in the days surrounding December 25. ⛪️ On Christmas Eve, there’s a Season’s Greetings Dinner ($125 per adult; $55 per child) and a service in the resort’s chapel. On Christmas Day, puzzles and board games, indoor planetarium presentations and a Christmas musical will keep families entertained. #GiftofTravel #TheGreenbrier Let’s Travel Moore 

Montage Palmetto Bluff  First flight with my firstborn! This past Father's Day, we travelled to the magical Montage Palmetto Bluff!  We waited four months after our son's birth. We were long overdue for a family trip! I wanted to treat my husband to a bit of golf, spa, and spectacular views of the Palmetto trees. We finally decided to embark on this quintessentially Southern Montage Palmetto Bluff.  Get ready to enjoy the best of the low country! You'll do everything from having the opportunity to spot an alligator and enjoy delicious Southern food. If you travel with a baby, this property will offer complimentary pack and play, diaper genie, and stroller rentals (we went for the Uppababy Ridge- and actually bought our own recently!) Travelers of all ages can enjoy activities such as "porching", boating, Veuve Cliquot picnics & bike rides, photoshoots, pool time, spa treatments and delicious food, including nightly s'mores! You will be all smiles... especi...

  A guide for the town where The Bush Family vacations. 🇺🇸Kennebunkport, Maine.  The quaint, yet pedigreed All-American town about 30 miles south of Portland, is full of exquisite lobster fine dining experiences and pristine marinas full of boats.  Where you are staying…  I stayed at the White Barn Inn, an Auberge property. The only Amex #FHR in the area. Complimentary breakfast (mostly coffee) is my favorite way to start the day… Where to relax… Walking on the beach is a close second favorite way to begin my mornings. There are three main Kennebunk Beach areas: Mother’s Beach, Middle Beach, and Gooch’s Beach. Kennebunkport or Kennebunk (they are one and the same) is a destination that will surprise local New Englanders and urban city dwellers alike.  Stripers waterside restaurant at The Breakwater Inn is a great spot for lunch by the water and a lobster roll. 🦞 Take in the fresh air!
