Just got home from two incredible weeks in Italy with our girls, and I can honestly say Rome completely exceeded my expectations as a family destination (and everyone knows what a beach resort girl I am).

As a travel advisor, I spend a lot of time planning trips for clients. But experiencing a destination with my own kids is always different. You notice the little things that can make or break a vacation.

So I put together the guide I wish every family had before visiting Rome.

Swipe to find things like:
• Why a golf cart tour should be your first activity.
• The one major attraction I’d skip the guide for.
• Where to wander when you need a break from the crowds.
• How we planned our days so no one melted down (parents included).
• The one tour I think is absolutely worth splurging on.
• The activity both of my girls are still talking about weeks later.

These aren’t generic travel tips—they’re the little details that made our trip smoother, easier, and so much more enjoyable.

If Rome is on your family’s list (or even just a dream for someday), save this post for later.

Follow along if you love elevated family travel without the stress. That’s exactly what I help families plan every day. taken in Rome, Italy by @keeekster

Sometimes you just have to pick a weekend in the summer and say: These are the dates, this is the location, let’s go! taken in Catalina Island, Avalon, CA by @keeekster

Update: I’m laughing cause I’m getting a lot of DMs for the name of this spot. And Google literally says “there is no karaoke inside the Catalina Casino.” Did this really happen. Felt like a David Lynch moment. 

Forget everything you thought you knew about Catalina nightlife. This new karaoke bar inside the Catalina Casino is where you end the night.

A little recap of a three-generation trip to the wonderful @chilenobayauberge in Cabo. 

A huge standout to me is you cannot beat their poolside service, where you pretty much have a dedicated team fully focused on your party. That means constant shade, aka moving umbrella, for my parents, fresh watermelon margs for me and a fantastic kids menu of local Mexican food for the girls. Their taco bar is served pool side with a salsa selection I dream about. 

Was the perfect Father’s Day trip, that I organized while we were all together for Thanksgiving … cause that @auberge Black Friday sale is fire 🔥 taken in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico by @keeekster

Whoever was pouring her wine was way too generous... and honestly, I wasn’t complaining. 😂🍷

At that point, they might as well have just left a bottle  or two on the table because we all knew they were coming back for another refill in 30 seconds. 🥂✨

And of course, the new Stop & Smell the Roses Drink Gems had to make their appearance too. 🌹💕 The new colors were the perfect finishing touch to every glass. 

Buy yours now before they sale out! 🔗

One of my favorite hotel discoveries in Puglia. If Ostuni is on your itinerary, this is where I’d stay.

Vista Ostuni quietly opened in July 2025, and I have a feeling it won’t stay under the radar for long. It has all the ingredients I love: an intimate size, thoughtful design, incredible service, and a location that feels tucked away while still being just minutes from Ostuni’s whitewashed streets.

What really makes it special is that it gives you the perfect home base to explore this part of Puglia with easy drives to Polignano a Mare, Monopoli, Alberobello, and some of my favorite beach clubs (a family we spoke to at the pool did daily morning excursions to different towns then afternoons back at the pool which I loved). It was a great and different experience after staying at Borgo Egnazia and we loved being so close to a cute town that we could explore. 

If you’re planning a trip to Puglia, bookmark this one now. I don’t think it’s going to remain one of Italy’s best-kept hotel secrets for much longer.

Puglia completely stole our hearts.

When we started planning this European trip, I knew I wanted part of it to take us somewhere Burger and I had never been before. Exploring a brand-new corner of Italy together made the experience even more special.

We split our time between the Borgo Egnazia resort and the town of Ostuni, and it was the perfect introduction to this incredible region. Every day brought another beautiful town, winding streets, unforgettable meals and that feeling of discovering a place that still feels authentic.

We’re looking at the south of France for next summer’s trip (can’t stress enough planning summer in the fall!),
but next time, cause there will be a next time, I want to explore even more of Puglia’s charming villages and venture farther south.

If Puglia isn’t on your travel list yet… it should be. taken in Puglia, Italy by @keeekster
