10 Things to do at Silverwood Theme Park!

10 Things to do at Silverwood Theme Park! Silverwood theme park is a big amusement park in Athol, Idaho, near Coeur d'Alene at the tippy top of Idaho in the Northwest. It's got thrill ride roller coasters, a full kiddie ride park, classic rides and a full water park. Silverwood has a fun collection of rides sourced from other parks, like Corkscrew was originally at Knots Berry Farm. Silverwood theme park is an amazing park for all ages. There are rides for littles, roller coasters and thrill rides and there's an entire waterpark too--Boulder Beach! We did not spend any time at the waterpark or the little toddler rides. My kids range from age 17 to 10, but are all adult size, so we hit up the thrill rides. Here's my assessment of Silverwood Theme Park with teens.

10 Tips for a Universal Studios Hollywood Vacation!

10 Tips for a Universal Studios Hollywood Vacation! Have you been to Universal Studios in Hollywood California before? It's such a fun vacation spot! I've been twice now and both experiences were very different. I'm going to tell you all about it and give you ten tips so you can plan the perfect vacation experience.  This is considering just a one day experience at Universal Studios--tell me in the comments if you have a tip too!

This allows you to go through the Express line one time per ride. This is helpful to keep you moving through the park quickly and being able to get through all the desired rides, plus time for more rides...

Spend the Day at Legoland California Theme Park!

Spend the Day at Legoland California! Spending the day at Legoland was so much fun for our family. We love everything Lego and so Legoland did not disappoint. The miniature models were fun to look at, the details are exquisite! Here's the best parts of Legoland if you are planning a fun trip to the California theme park. This was the best theme park we've been to as a family. We lucked out because it wasn't crowded at all. We got all the rides, yummy food and atmosphere that we could handle! We would absolutely go back when we are in the neighborhood. With three older kids, age 16, 14 and 10, I wondered if the theme park would be fun enough for them. It was, there's a great deal of rides and things to see for all ages. When we entered the park we headed off to the right, first going on the Lego Ninjago ride and then Technic Coaster, which my kids loved. We were at Legoland in March and it was wonderful! The weather was great and the park was empty. Hardl...
