Easter Adventures at Wimpole Estate

[Ad- gifted experience] Wimpole Estate is our absolute favorite National Trust place to visit, especially around the holidays as they are always putting on some sort of event. Easter at Wimpole Estate is a really affordable family day out, that you don’t even need to pre-book and can just drop by and attend if the weather is good! This Easter Trail does give you access to the whole estate, including the farm yard, walled garden, cafe and house!

Blasting Each Other at Scorpion Airsoft Gelblaster 

[Ad- gifted experience] When it comes to activities that Kai is particularly excited for, there is only really a few. Laser Tag is his current go-to, so when we learned about the Gelblaster option at Scorpion Airsoft, we were pretty excited to take Kai to a thing that is sorta like Laser Tag, but also sorta more hardcore in a way!

24 Hours in New York City

Though I live in the United Kingdom now, I use to live in Upstate New York. Back in the time when I was less chronically online, I went down to New York City and spent about 24 hours there, taking a greyhound bus. At the time, I wasn’t aware of things like the New York City Tourist Pass, but can see how useful that would be if I went back now! If you are ever thinking about going to New York City, here are all of the things that I enjoyed doing when I was last there!

Alton Towers Pirate Takeover and Splash Landings Hotel

It is one of our yearly traditions to go to Alton Towers during the February half term. They have on this Pirate Takeover event, which has a limited area of the park open. There is a deal that allows you to book up a day at Splash Landings Hotel, the night over at the hotel, and then go to the park the next day (or the reverse of that, really it’s up to you). We love amusement parks and hotels, so this is such a fun time for everyone.
