Trekaroo’s goin’ to Carolina
Can’t you see the sunshine,
Can’t you just feel the moonshine,
Ain’t it just like a friend of mine,
To hit me from behind
Yes, we’re goin’ to Carolina with our KIDS!
(To the tune of James Taylor’s “Carolina in my Mind”)
Why North Carolina? Because Trekaroo families have been taken it upon themselves to build a fantastic list of activities and hotel reviews that just had to be released to the public. From the famous sunny beaches of North Carolina to the winter fun in High Country, families love it in North Carolina. Looking for some indoor fun? There’s plenty to enjoy in North Carolina from a world-class zoo in Asheboro to exhibits of fascinating sea life in our three coastal aquariums. We’ve got family-friendly summer fun at minor league baseball games and Nascar races.

Trekaroo is heading up to the beautiful Pacific Northwest to launch in Seattle and across the rest of the state of Washington. There’s so much to see here for tweens and teens – Shamu in the wild, Mt. Rainier, Pike’s Place, the Space Needle, where grunge music began, where coffeehouses took off, Microsoft, and more. For the younger set, there’s a plethora of indoor and outdoor fun to entertain kids for many days.

My family and many other Trekaroo families love suite hotels when we travel with the kids. Why? Give us an extra room, a fully equipped kitchen, plus free hot breakfast in the morning, and we’re ready to stay the week. All the amenities make us feel like we’ve got a little bit of home with us.
That’s why when Homewood Suites by Hilton Hotels asked Trekaroo to be a part of their new SuiteTrip.com blog, we were thrilled to join in on the fun! We love their properties when traveling with kids and were more than happy to share some of Trekaroo’s hot spots for kids across the US.
So, after months of work, SuiteTrip.com is LIVE. They’ve got a growing set of stories on how to stretch your vacation dollars, packing tips, and tons of ideas on what to do and where to go are. Check out the latest idea – Kidding around in Wine Country.
Our fellow SuiteTrip writers are other family travel experts Jamie Pearson (Travelsavvymom), Beth Blair, Jennifer Miner and Kara Williams (TheVacationGals), Lisa McElroy (SuiteLiving.com) and the Grant Martin and Scott Carmichael (Gadling). We enlisted the help of one of our favorite Trekaroos… Catherine Boley (aka bayareababyblog) to help represent us.
We hope that you’ll enjoy SuiteTrip.com and all that Homewood Suites has to offer.
We’ll be launching a public alpha version of our site in about a week! When we flip the site on, it will be available for you to join without an invite code. You will be able to reach the site at http://www.trekaroo.com. We’ll keep you posted!
