Welcome to a short list of useful reads from around the Web – I used to post this on most Mondays but have been a bit, ahem, diverted lately.
*** A huge thank you to the blogs who hosted the bi-weekly/fortnightly Carnival of Cities recently: Nerd’s Eye View, UpTake Attractions, Ajay’s Writings on the Wall, Fear and Loathing – The Gonzo Papers and Eyeflare. The next edition of this blog carnival (featuring posts about any aspect of a SINGLE city) is scheduled to be hosted here on Family Travel. Submit your posts here by noon CST 30 June.
*** From TravelSavvyMom: English Castles: 5 Family Favorites and Honolulu: Five Free Family Favorites (don’t forget that THIS is why you take children to Hawaii.)

*** Yeah, give ‘em hell! Rules for Parents at Children’s Museums from Travels with Children. Hint: you can’t drop ‘em into a room and disappear, as understandably tempting an option as that may be….
*** I love me some World Hum….if you don’t read them already, enjoy Eight Great Family Travel Stories.
*** The UK reports in – a British Mum blog at Have A Lovely Time.

Finally, I wanted to let you know that I’ll be launching a business soon; an online learning community with entrepreneurship expert Becky McCray, including my new personal blog that is focused on how travel and tourism organizations can use social media.
More details to follow….

Seriously? I can’t just drop the kids off at the museum and leave?
Thanks for including me!
Uh, no, because, you know, the rest of us have our own kids to watch….:)
Loved your post as soon as I saw the headline.

Thank you so much for including us – we are keen to keep on blogging and have been bowled over at the response so far. It’s great to see what else is out there and the fantastic resources in this piece will be veru helpful, thank you for putting it together.
Hi Linda,
I’m always happy to find non-US blogs, to keep as much of an international flavor as possible. Thanks for all of your hard work!
