Photo Fave: Ice cream in Andalucia (at the heladeria)

Decisions, decisions. Good thing we’ll be back tomorrow.
Whether it’s zmrzlina in Prague, gelato in Rome, or crepes a la mode in Paris, eating ice cream in Europe should be on the must-do list of every traveling family. Here we explore the fanciful options presented at a heladeria (ice cream shop) by the Balcony of Europe on Spain’s Costa del Sol. Forget the half-pecked cardboard buckets of your local 31 Flavors. In Europe, ice cream is an art, and as with many foods and drinks in the Old World, presentation is everything. Note the perfectly formed peaks of each flavor, carefully drizzled with a complimenting topping. 
But how to decide? The only fair thing do (for our taste buds, anyway) was to stop by each afternoon as we strolled through the small town of Nerja.

Where have you enjoyed your favorite ice cream during travel?

ByShelly Rivoli

For a month before we traveled to Spain, our family ate dinner each night beside a smattering of photos of the things I hoped we would see on our journey. In the center was a full-page photo of the unmistakable reflection pool at the Nasrid Palaces in Granada’s UNESCO World Heritage Site: The Alhambra.  While…

Dinner with our private chef in Costa Rica

ByShelly Rivoli

Note: That’s not me in the kitchen. (Heheh.) While planning our Costa Rica trip, there were so many things to look forward to—an aerial tram ride, monkey sightings, wildlife sanctuaries, hanging bridges, beaches, volcanoes, butterflies, waterfalls—but one thing I especially looked forward to (as the uninspired cook for a family of 5) was the night…

Photo Fave: "Big tree," Big Trees Calaveras State Park, California

ByShelly Rivoli

In celebration of national Arbor Day, I thought I’d post one of my favorite photos of one of my favorite trees. There are many trees to like at Big Trees Calaveras State Park in northern California, but I especially remember this moment when my daughters had been scurrying through the trees, happy as your average…

Say no to juice for flying toddlers, say yes to a fruit tea “cocktail”

ByShelly Rivoli

As I’ve warned many parents in the past, you can’t always expect regular milk to be available on flights–even on those with breakfast service, the only “milk” product offered may be a powder to lighten the color of your coffee. Fruit juice, however, is almost always available on flights and is, unfortunately, almost always the first thing flight attendants offer young children. Let’s…
