Quebec City vacation with kids
As for weekend vacation accommodation in Quebec we’ve chosen Courtyard By Marriott. Hotel is amazing. Useful parking is right across the street. An entrance into the walled section is right next door. The staff is happy and helpful. The rooms and public areas are clean and roomy. The rate is much less then other hotels within the wall or right nearby. The location is great, right outside the Old City Wall. A quick walk to tons of sites to see, shops, and restaurants.

London attractions: London Eye (aka London wheel, Millennium Wheel)
Although London is a great place for tourists with a lot of signs and historical places, London Eye (aka “Eye” and “Millennium Wheel”) is definitely a “must-see” when visiting London. Read the rest of this page »
British Airways sponsored London Eye, so it officially named “the British Airways London Eye” while visiting observation wheel called “flight”.
Eye grants you the best bird’s eye views of London. It’s incredible photogenic at sunset.
It moves slowly, so you will have enough time for Central London sightseeing and enjoy the ride.

Disneyland Park – California Disneyland Vacation
California Disneyland is open all year round, even during the holidays. You probably won’t get bored at Disneyland – there are a lot of fun rides even for adults – it brings out the kids in us.
Getting to Disneyland is about $50-60 per day for admission. The tour bus that will pick you up at your hotel and take you to Anaheim is around $87. The Metro Station is across the street (Pershing Square), take that to Union Station, and more than likely take the Amtrak to Fullerton (You could also take the Metrolink, but it only runs weekdays, and during commuting hours). The train costs around $9 each way.

London restaurants with kids
There are two places all kids love, whether London or Brighton, and that’s Gourmet Burger Kitchen (best burgers in London!) and Wagamama (oriental, not Chinese, some Japanese + Thai blend style) . This restaurant will appease all of you.
Both informal dinning experiences, child-friendly with kids menu & portions to suit.
Try Giraffe, locations around London.

New York City with kids
New York City is a popular destination for families with children of all ages. New York is home to many of the world’s best museums. Visiting one of New York City’s museums is a great way to spend a cold or rainy day or to add an educational element to your New York City visit.
I recommend trying to get tickets to a Yankee Game for you and your kids (Yankee Stadium will be gone in a few years as they are building a new one). A hotel in Midtown (preferably, at least for me, away from Times Square) is recommended. Times Square is worth seeing but its always very busy and noisy/touristy. I usually recommend trying to get something closer to the center (6th Avenue, 5th Avenue, Madison Ave., Park Ave.

Ile de Re tour
The Ile de Re is wonderful: quiet, nice beaches, wonderful seafood, lots of cycle ways and bikes for hire. Great place to take kids, enough for adults too. Read the rest of this page »
It’s really a collection of very pretty villages and beaches all linked together by some great bike paths. For a couple of days, though, you wouldn’t get too bored.
It’s very much a relaxing holiday – if you don’t like beaches, you can hang out at St Martin, which I liken to a small and less glitzy St Tropez. It’s a very upper-middle class family haunt – bring your Boden clothes – that you may enjoy if you like good food, drinking coffee, people-watching, cycling, walking and beaches. There are some museums or galleries, but probably only one morning’s worth.
