I know this might not be the typical post you’re used to reading around here, as I usually share kid-friendly travel destinations; however, this one today is specifically for us – the parents! If you caught my post about our trip to The Hamptons, then you may have seen that we visited the Wölffer Estate Vineyard during our trip.

Is a Zoo Membership Really Worth It?
If you have young children and live within driving distance of a zoo, then chances are you’ve visited one, right? Zoo days are among our favorite ways to spend time together as a family. There are animals to see, places to explore & an infinite amount to learn. It’s a great place for kids (or adults) of any age. We started taking our kids to the zoo before they could even walk – and now, at 6 and 4 years old, it is one of their most requested places to visit. We frequent the zoo often & my kids learn something new every single time we go. But is a…
