5 Fun Things to Do with Little People (6 and Under) on the Royal Mile
I know, I know. The Royal Mile is just so touristy. And it is. But that’s because it’s still an amazing part of Edinburgh to be in, especially if you’ve never been in it before and you only have a few days to spend there. It’s like NYC’s Times Square.

Every trip we need to find a way to take a vacation from our vacation. When we're at Florida's Emerald Coast, we find that break, that grounding place, at Ft. Walton's Gulfarium Marine Adventure Park. And each time we're in that part of the world, we keep going back (because, you know, OTTERS!)
