Best Eats at Woodloch Resort
Best Eats at Woodloch Resort

We recently had the opportunity to stay at Woodloch Resort, which happened to be our first vacation since February. With all of the uncertainty and sudden changes due to COVID, I wanted to be 100% comfortable before making the jump to start traveling again! We visited Woodloch two years ago and we had the best experience as a family, and I remember even back then how clean the resort was. After reading their special statement about the action steps they are taking for resort wellness, I felt comfortable booking our trip!

Beautiful Heated Outdoor Pool Eden Resort in Lancaster, PA
Beautiful Heated Outdoor Pool Eden Resort in Lancaster, PA

Over a month ago, we were working on a secret project for a popsicle company. They needed us to shoot campaign content in early May, so it was really hard for us to find somewhere with an open pool! Thankfully, Eden Resort opened their outdoor heated pool and Kidz Water Zone the weekend before, so we were able to book a night at their resort to create content. Eden Resort is just a short 30 minute drive from our home, and I absolutely loved being able to get away for the night without all of the travel that comes with normal vacations! I never understood the concept of a staycation until our trip to Eden, but let me tell ya, I’m a huge fan! ESPECIALLY with kids, staycations are where it’s at!

You guys know that I travel with Aimery a lot, especially during the summer! This year, we went to the lake very often, and we planned another trip during Labor Day weekend!

Kalahari Resort - America's Largest Indoor Waterpark

How to Survive a Road Trip with a Toddler and NOT Go Insane
How to Survive a Road Trip with a Toddler and NOT Go Insane

I'm pretty sure there should be a rule that road trips with toddlers should never happen, ever. It's almost as bad as flying with them alone. But it is inevitable that we as parents will be locked in a car for over three hours with a toddler at some point of our lives. Aimery and I tend to do these often because we live what seems to be in-the-middle-of-no-where Pennsylvania where to get to any large city or beach takes at least two hours of driving. It seems like we are going on a long drive at least once every other week - whether we are heading to the airport or going to the beach. But through it all, I think I have finally mastered how to survive on a road trip with Aimery.

What to Pack for a Lake Trip with Kids
What to Pack for a Lake Trip with Kids

Some of my favorite childhood moments were those spent at the lake. Growing up, my family always went to Deep Creek Lake with our family and friends for a week out of the summer. It was always a lazy, lots of jet skiing week filled with fun memories. When all the kids grew up and life got in the way, trips to the lake every summer weren't a priority with everything else going on. We actually haven't been to that lake in years! I'm SO excited though, because my parents decided to book a lake house for a week this August. Aimery will finally be able to have the same experiences that I did when I was younger, and I'm really looking forward to experiencing Deep Creek Lake with him.

Aimery and I do a lot of traveling together - we are always going somewhere! Over the last two months, we did two international trips to Canada to visit Aimery's father.

Almost impossible. Keep reading to find ways to make traveling less stressful for both yourself and your little one.
