    Cheap Nassau Shore Excursions with a toddler

    Traveling with a toddler does have its ups and downs, but cruising with a toddler makes it easier. We created an article about cruising with toddlers, and we also explained why a cruise with your toddler is a great way to travel. This article talks about cheap Nassau shore excursions you can do with a toddler, should your ship have a Nassau port of call. Since there was a deal on a cruise from Jacksonville, FL to the Bahamas on Carnival Elation, we booked a 5 night cruise with stops in Princess Cays and Nassau.

    How to spend a weekend in Chicago

    We love to travel, but we have full-time jobs, so we can only visit certain places on weekend trips. Chicago is one of those cities that was up there on our list. Here’s how we managed to spend a weekend in Chicago on a budget.  This post is part of our weekend trip ideas. Here are other places we visited that may inspire you to visit on a weekend too:  Arriving in Chicago, we had no idea what we wanted to do.
