I wasn’t sure I even wanted to go to New Orleans I wasn’t sure I even wanted to go to New Orleans…

For years all I heard was what a crazy party town New Orleans was. Outrageous parades, super strong drinks, and BOURBON STREET. Oh man I heard a lot of crazy stories about Bourbon street.

It wasn’t exactly what I would consider that “perfect family vacation”.

But something still intrigued me about the city. 

It’s rich culture and traditions.

The architecture.

Music around every corner.

AND THE FOOD!

I had to try it for myself. And as someone who is constantly trying to prove that there are more “kid friendly” vacations than just Disney (No shade on Disney, I love a good Disney vacation) I needed to give New Orleans a chance.

3 days. For 3 days I would keep an open mind, research all the city had to offer, and see for myself if this is a place that is far more than it’s party town reputation.

And what I learned in those 3 days might actually surprise you…

I have been going crazy, waiting to share adventure 6 of #22adventuresin2022 because 
✨I HAVE A LOT TO SAY ✨
about this adventure. Some good. Some not so good. And some opinions that might surprise you.

But before I start my long winded rant about our newest adventure I want to ask one more time… 
where do you think we are??

Here is a clue. 

✨it’s thought to be the most haunted city in America

So what do you think??

How do you pick the best hotel for kids?! ✨ I f How do you pick the best hotel for kids?! ✨

I feel like I’ve been spending hours on hotel websites lately, just trying to find the best fit for our #22adventuresin2022 

It got me thinking about how I scour through hundreds of options and I started to really pay attention to what makes some stand out over others.

So here is what I came up with, my top criteria when choosing a hotel I know my kids will love!

✨save this post to reference when you are booking your next trip ✨

✨ location - being close to the fun can be not only convenient but save you money on transportation and the biggest reason… time. Ask the hotel if they offer airport transfers to shuttles to popular sites too.

✨ included breakfast - this is almost a deal breaker for me. This saves money but mostly my sanity when 1 of the 3 wakes up ravenous and we want to let the others sleep in. If the breakfast isn’t included having food on property is a close second.

✨room size - now that my girls aren’t babies anymore space is a big issue when booking a room. If we want to attempt to squeeze in one room I always look at the customer pictures on tripadvisor first. I feel like it gives a better feel of what to really expect compared to the professional hotel pictures.

✨ amenities - this is a big one! A great pool, or even better… slides, could make or break our stay. Again I go to the customer photos to see the real deal.

✨ family offerings - this is an added perk like larger rooms with kitchens, water park, entertainment, kids club. It’s not just because these things are awesome it’s mainly because these offering show me my kids are welcome and won’t be feeling out of place.

What are some of your must haves when booking a hotel for your family?
And do you have a hotel that just completely wowed you?! I’d love to know.
