If you have pre-school children, LEGOLAND is worth the trip from anywhere. This park caters to kids ages 2-12, and even the coasters are sized appropriately.

Girlfriend Getaways – Ladies Who Lounge – Chocolate Spa | Hershey Pa.
Long Weekends
Fall-Winter 2011
When you think Hershey, you typically think “kid stuff” — a slab of chocolate nestled between two marshmallow-y grahams, a surprise Kiss hidden inside a Valentine’s Day card, a chocolate reward for a job well done. But at the luxurious Chocolate Spa in Hershey, Pennsylvania, you’ll find treats that are a little more grown up.

Apple picking has become our family’s annual fall ritual. Luckily, there’s an abundance of pick-your-own farms and orchards in the Hudson Valley where we can get a bushel of fresh, crispy apples and plump pumpkins. Barton Orchards in Poughquag (southern Dutchess County) is one of our favorite places. Not only can we find more than 20 apple varieties, there’s also kid-friendly entertainment and delicious treats. It’s a cross between a day in the country and an amusement park, and my kids can’t get enough.
Two articles I’ve recently written for Luminary Publishing feature some of my favorite places here in the Hudson Valley.
Sojourn
The first is a contribution to the “Community Pages” section in the April issue of Chronogram magazine. The Other Tri-State Area features the neighboring towns of Millerton and Amenia in Dutchess County.
The second is a piece describing the region’s major art museums. From Cole to Calder is featured in the spring/summer issue of Sojourn, A Seasonal Guide to the Mid-Hudson Valley.
An article written by Traci was recently published in the December 2010 – February 2010 issue of The Valley Table.
The sight of alpacas in Millbrook raised some eyebrows initially. “When we first moved up here, everyone was very curious about the crazy Germans raising alpacas here in horse country,” Alicia says amusedly.

Westchester Family Magazine - June 2010
An article written by Traci was recently published in the June 2010 issue of Westchester Family Magazine.
If you’re like me, you believe skiing is a sport best left to Olympic athletes and the Swiss. However, you risk overlooking some great summer vacation destinations in New England, thinking they don’t have much to offer when it’s not snowing. Vermont, as my family found out, has a lot going for it when the mountains of the “Green Mountain State” are still actually green.

Though the beaches along Long Island Sound don’t open until Memorial Day, there are plenty of attractions and activities to make Mystic worth your while any month of the year. If time allows, set aside a few days to explore the greater “Mystic Country” region, which includes New London, Norwich, Storrs, Putnam and Woodstock.

Top options for intergenerational, group and reunion travel
By Traci L. Suppa
AAA Home & Away Magazine, January/February 2010
Pleasing a family of four when planning a vacation can be challenging. Getting it right when the group also includes Grandma, Uncle George and George Jr. is a bit trickier. But intergenerational travel, also known as “togethering,” is a growing trend, and many destinations cater to the specific needs of family groups.
Whether families are planning a long weekend for just the kids and parents or a large annual family reunion, the main considerations should be: Will there be a variety of activities to please everyone? Are there opportunities for everyone to spend time all together? Will someone on staff be there to help iron out details?
Here are three different options that meet these requirements, with the convenience of unpacking only once. Plus, these are trips the generations can take any time of year.
