Staunton is a beautiful old town full of history, quaint shops, unique restaurants, wine tasting rooms, art galleries, museums, and a theater. All of these are within walking district from several hotels. Mary Baldwin College, The School for the Deaf and Blind, and Stuart Hall are all located in Staunton.

When people talk about all-inclusive resorts, food is always on top of the list. We love to eat and a good meal, especially one that is included with your stay, is a priority when planning a vacation.
We had plenty of food to choose from staying at the Moon Palace Golf & Spa Resort. A variety of cuisine is available – from hotdogs to fish to steak. You can eat Asian, Mexican, seafood or lounge poolside. Whether you’re traveling with a picky eater or a foodie, there is no shortage of restaurant options.
When planning our trip to a new area, one of the first items on our list is to determine where we should eat. I want to know other travelers experiences with a restaurant before I go. Granted, I’ve been spoiled and dined at some fabulous restaurants, so I am a bit finicky when it comes to food. However, knowing what others think of a restaurant is a good indicator of the food quality, ambiance and wait staff.
Some of the restaurants at Moon Palace are definitely better than others. We preferred La Trattoria at the Golf Villas, Caribeno in Moon Grand and the Brazilian Steakhouse in Nizuc.
Our favorite meal was at La Trattoria on the last evening of our trip. A card with our last name was waiting on our table which gave a special touch to the evening. We were offered a cheese cart, delicious bread that was still warm from the oven, a dessert cart to die for, a palate cleansing treat between courses and fabulous wine. Everything about the meal was exceptional. Every time I thought the meal couldn’t get any better – they arrived with another course.

I made my way to Cancun this past September. I desperately wanted to attend a travel bloggers conference and figured combining a retreat with my husband and learning to expand my business was the perfect excuse.
The TBEX conference was held at the Moon Palace Golf & Spa Resort. This was my first experience at an all-inclusive resort and I wasn’t disappointed!

During our visit to the American Girl Tysons Corner Store we stayed one night at the McLean Hilton in Tysons Corner. The hotel is gorgeous and the American Girl Package was a great option.
Getting the American Girl Package not only meant a great rate (cheaper than other discounts) but there was a complementary American Girl doll bed in the room that LuLu was able to keep. She might have 3 beds for her doll at home, but having a travel bed sure made her a happy girl!
She also received a little goodie bag with a free breakfast voucher. Additionally, the package comes with FREE shuttle service to the Tyson Corner Mall, so you don’t have to drive. It was nice to just jump on the shuttle and not have to worry about parking.
