Trekaroo KidsMobile -- Charlotte, NC

I was invited to participate in Trekaroo's KidsMobile Blog Carnival. Who doesn't love a blog carnival?! When you pair the blog carnival with Trekaroo...well, that's just spectacular.

What's Trekaroo? Only the neatest site around for sharing/reading reviews of places to go with kids. A Mommies group fundraiser introduced me to Trekaroo over the summer. I love it! Yesterday, I found some promising places to add to my Destinations Notebook. I keep information (place name, address, phone, url, price, activity, maps) about places I think the family would enjoy visiting in page protectors in a 3-ring binder. When we have a chance to take off for a day, we always have lots of options. I do a lot of my research on 'stay home' days like the ones we just had compliments of a foot of snow. When the weather is pretty and the family is ready to go, go, go; who wants to waste time trying to figure out where to go?


Trekaroo -- Kids. Trips. Tips.


Wanna know something really neat? They just launched my home state of North Carolina. The KidsMobile Blog Carnival stopped in Charlotte, NC which gave me the opportunity to share a list of places to hike with kids around Charlotte.

Thanks for joining us for the KidsMobile stop in North Carolina!  I loved your list of hiking trails near Charlotte!

Hope your readers will come and join you on Trekaroo as well.  New members get to take advantage of welcome rewards. When you write reviews, you can get up to $25 to spend at Amazon, Starbucks or REI.  

Oh and I love your idea about compiling a notebook of fun places to go with your kids.  In case you didn't notice, Trekaroo has a bookmark feature. You can keep track of the places you have your eye on inside your Trekaroo passport.  You can even see all the places you've bookmarked on a map. Neeto huh?”
