It’s time to start dreaming of your next family trip. Here’s some destination inspiration for you. Take a visual journey through Barbados with us.
Venture to the island’s lone accessible sea cave, Animal Flower Cave, at North Point, St. Lucy. Coral steps lead through an opening in the roof into the cave, home to sea anemones (locally called animal flowers). On calm days, swim in the natural rock pools in the cave or catch a glimpse of the Atlantic Ocean through the cave’s openings. © Helioscribe | Dreamstime.com
Spend the day at Bathsheba, the main fishing village in Saint Joseph. Home to quaint churches, Flower Forest and Cotton Tower, this town also boasts a beautiful beach often known as the Soup Bowl. Here, local and international surfing competitions are held each year. Spot Bathsheba Rock located slightly offshore. © Richard Semik | Dreamstime.com
Go scuba diving in Carlisle Bay, situated in the southwest region of the island, and witness relics like ships and anchors on the ocean floor. Or, opt for a visit to Needham’s Point Lighthouse, one of Barbados’ historic lighthouses. © Irishka777 | Dreamstime.com
Pink-hued sands and clear waters make Crane Beach a popular spot for travelers. Found on the island’s southeastern coast in St. Philip, make a day at the beach by renting loungers and umbrellas and jumping the waves. Because of the rough surf, Crane Beach is best suited for adults and older children. Families with younger children are better off enjoying a place like Carlisle Bay or Miami Beach on the south side of the island. © Filip Fuxa | Dreamstime.com
Walk amongst a botanical garden rich in Caribbean flora at Hunte’s Gardens. A popular attraction in the St. Joseph Area, these gardens include rare, exotic plants; birds; and refreshments like tea, coffee, cakes and even rum punch. © SimonDannhauer | Dreamstime.com
Did you know polo is one of the most popular sports in Barbados? The sport became popular in the late 19th century with British officers stationed on the island and, since then, has flourished with polo clubs and tournaments. If you find yourself in Barbados during such a match, expect a day-long affair complete with high tea, exciting games, dinner and dancing. © Jdazuelos | Dreamstime.com

Sep 11, 2024Wichita: The Best Little Big City for Families
Wichita may be the biggest city in Kansas, but, as I walked around town, I couldn’t shake the feeling I was in one of the country’s greatest small towns. Perhaps it was the absence of all the things that serve as constant reminders you are in a large city. Instead of crowds, traffic jams and busy people rushing through life, I found clean, wide-open streets and happy, smiling faces — just the kind of place you want to explore with a family.
