Last night we were invited to see Elf the Musical at the Dominion Theatre in London and could not wait. Elf is such a modern classic, a movie that we watch every year. Christmas isn’t Christmas without Elf, and we hoped that the stage version would live up to our, incredibly high, expectations.
One of my favourite places on our recent trip to Orlando was Pioneer Village at Shingle Creek. It’s somewhere I came across randomly online and knew we just had to visit. We love a living history museum here in the UK and it felt only right to take a little step back in time when we were in Florida too.

Last weekend we were invited to Syon Park for their Enchanted Woodland event. It’s now been running for 16 years and yet we hadn’t been before – we had no idea what to expect and couldn’t wait for our trip.
When we went to Florida we visited the Universal Orlando Resort for the first time as, on our last visit, the children hadn’t been tall enough for most of the rides so we thought we’d save it for our next visit. We couldn’t wait to see what Universal was all about!
On a recent visit to Stoke, we had a few hours spare on our last morning and decided to visit the Potteries Museum and Art Gallery that was literally a stone’s throw from our hotel. With free admission, it was the perfect place to learn a little bit more about the area.
When we went to Florida for the first time a few years ago, the children weren’t tall enough for the majority of the Universal rides and weren’t familiar with many of the characters either, so we skipped Universal. This time we knew that the Universal parks would be top of our list to visit!

Last night we were lucky enough to be invited to the opening night of Strictly Ballroom The Musical at New Wimbledon Theatre. Although I’d seen the Strictly Ballroom movie years ago, I couldn’t remember the story and so didn’t know what to expect!
When we stayed in Stoke on Trent for a weekend we were within walking distance of Hanley Park and so started our break there. We didn’t know anything about the area but as soon as we walked into the park we were blown away – we don’t have parks like this at home!

Last weekend Red Letter Days invited us to try Family Afternoon Tea at The Langham Hotel in London. It was a belated birthday treat for me and something we were all looking forward to. We love going for afternoon tea but it’s not something where children are often catered for so it feels extra special when the children can have a proper afternoon tea experience too.
When we spent the day at Discovery Cove on our recent summer holiday to Florida, we were keen to do some of the extra activities on offer. Our tickets included swimming with dolphins and as Dave is a qualified diver, he was eager to spend some time under water.
