It’s officially Fall! It definitely doesn’t fe It’s officially Fall! It definitely doesn’t feel like it in Miami, it really never does but that just gives us a reason to explore other states. West Virginia is one of them, fun fact I actually lived here between undergrad and grad school! Here are Things to do in West Virginia (SAVE + SHARE): 

1. Enjoy New River Gorge National Park & Preserve, or visit any of the states 35 state parks as West Virginia has 1.5 million acres of parks and public land. We personally walked the Shavers Lake Trail and canoed on the lake. 

2. Enjoy some serious adventures! We’re always trying something new and West Virginia offers a lot of options from whitewater rafting, to 1,000+ miles of off-road ATV trails, to rock climbing, caving and mountain biking . 

3. Take a train ride on the Cass Scenic Railroad which stops at the Whittaker Camp where those who worked in the lumber and coal industry lived during the work season. 

4. Explore Cranberry Glades Botanical Area where you might just get to see some black bears! 

5. Walk the Falls of Hills Creak trail to get up close to some gorgeous waterfalls! 

This week I’ll be sharing various cities and states you can experience a beautiful Fall getaway. What are some of your favorite places to enjoy autumn?

Still not over our day exploring the waters of For Still not over our day exploring the waters of Fort Pierce. We danced, snorkeled, fished and went tubing. Definitely want more days like this and still pinch myself that this is what a day of work looks like for me sometimes. Thank you @seadoo for the opportunity.
If you know my husband you know water activities a If you know my husband you know water activities are his favorite! Fishing, jet skiing, just being on a boat on the ocean relaxing, name it, he’s there. So we couldn’t be more excited than to not only get the chance to test out the new @seadoo Switch but be the stars of a whole commercial for it. We had entirely too much fun filming this. Of course now he wants to buy one!

Do you like getting out on the water? Favorite activity?

Morning Tea in London! Afternoon or High Tea is us Morning Tea in London! Afternoon or High Tea is usually on everyone’s things to do in London list but since the girls and I don’t eat beef or pork the menus for most places didn’t make sense for us as they are filled with ham sandwiches and other things we don’t eat. I ended up finding Morning Tea at Peggy Porschen instead which offers a tea menu with breakfast items, while not traditional it worked best for us! It cost £35 pp.

For a traditional Afternoon or High Tea Try:

🫖Palm Court at The Ritz
🫖The Diamond Jubilee Tea Salon at Fortnum & Mason
🫖Theatre Royal Drury Lane
🫖The Grill Room Hotel Cafe Royal (has vegetarian an vegan options)
🫖Coronation Afternoon Tea at Cellarium, Westminster Abbey
🫖The Rosebery Coronation Afternoon Tea at Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park
🫖The Goring Hotel

Afternoon Teas Geared Towards Families:

☕️Peter Pan Afternoon Tea at Aqua at The Shard
☕️Jurassic Afternoon Tea at the Ampersand Hotel
☕️Jungle Book Afternoon Tea at Brown’s Hotel
☕️Secret Garden Afternoon Tea at Taj 51
☕️The Buzzy Bees Afternoon Tea at St. Ermin’s Hotel
☕️Grover’s Children’s Tea at Grosvenor House Hotel
☕️The Peppa Pig Afternoon Tea Bus Tour
☕️Sherlock Holmes Inspired Afternoon Tea at the Mind Palace
☕️Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Tea at One Aldwych
☕️Mad Hatter Afternoon Tea at The Sanderson
☕️Wizard of Oz Afternoon Tea at The Soho Hotel

Have you done a proper Afternoon or High Tea in London before? Was the one you did on this list, if so what did you think of it? If you have additional recommendations please do leave a comment!

Fly LegsUp Flight Hammock Review

March 31, 2017      Product Reviews

I don’t know about you guys but it’s hard enough for me to sleep comfortably on a plane much less having my toddler lay on me to get herself comfortable. There’s nothing worse thing than a cranky, tired toddler on an airplane. So when I came across the fight hammock by Fly LegsUp I was amazed. So what is a flight hammock? It turns your regular coach seat into a bed for your toddler. This products is essential for surviving long haul flights with kids (promo code below).

Every Fly LegsUp Flight Hammock comes with the below.

Look at my daughter knocked out sleeping all comfortably on our flight to Phuket!

I will admit I felt a little weird installing it. Since it comes in a small carrying case you have to inflate the two pillows but they don’t take long to inflate. You attach the velcro straps to the tray table, insert the pillow and voila! I’m sure the people next to us were amazed once they saw the end result. The velcro makes a little noise and your inflating pillows on a plane so it definitely brings attention. Luckily for us our family took up the entire row but I’m sure the people in the row across from me were like what the heck is she doing.

What I Love about Fly LegsUp:

  • It takes 5 mins to assemble
  • Younger or shorter kids can lay flat for optimal comfort
  • For older kids it can still serve as a foot rest as you can choose the size pillow you use to make it lower than the seat
  • It doesn’t hinder the use of the seat belt
  • It comes with inflatable pillows so you don’t have to bring your own
  • You can still use it if the person in front of you reclines their seat
  • It doesn’t hinder the use of your tray table
  • It folds down compact and easily fits in a backpack or purse

Downfalls of Fly LegsUp:

  • If you are sitting in a bulkhead seat because you are also traveling with an infant using a bassinet you can’t use it as it requires a tray table in front of you
  • If you don’t have the window seat and someone you don’t know is sitting there you may not be able to use it if they aren’t comfortable hopping over your child to get to the restroom

Conclusion: I think it’s a great product and if you fly frequently with your kids, especially on long-haul flights the $79.99 AUD (about $60 USD) price is more than worth it!

Fly LegsUp Promo Code: To receive 5% off your purchase use promo code FLYCHILD.

(Unfortunately Fly LegsUp is low in stock and  no longer honoring this promo code as of 5/13, here are some other recommendations)


Disclosure: I received this product from Fly LegsUp but all opinions are my own and true!

      Hi Catherine,
      We have never flown with Emirates so I am honestly not sure, I’d try contacting them or Fly LegsUp directly to find out.

Hi! We’re The Hambricks

If kids live there, kids can visit! That's our motto and you'll often find us exploring destinations most don't find "kid friendly". We've traveled to 35 countries on 6 continents with our children since they were 10 weeks old and share tips to make it easier and affordable. But mom and dad are people too so we also write about solo travel, baecations and girlfriend getaways.
