Our Top Social Media Posts of 2024

Somehow the year 2024 is quickly coming to a close. Our family had a wonderful year with many adventures- we’ll be sharing an annual highlights post next week on the blog (check out 2023, 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018, and 2017). This week, we spent some time delving into the interwebs of our analytics for our top social media posts. We thought it would be fun to take a look back in a separate post. Here are our posts with the most engagement throughout 2024:

  • Six Ways to Explore the Frick Museums and Gardens in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

    This summer, we enjoyed a wonderful few days exploring Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania’s second largest city, located in the western part of the state. One of the highlights of our visit was the opportunity to explore The Frick Pittsburgh Museums and Gardens, the former home of Henry Clay Frick, founder of the H.C. Frick & Company, one of the largest coke producing companies in the world during the early 20th century. Frick’s company supplied fuel for the iron and steel industries and Frick became business partners with Andrew Carnegie and later became the chairman of the Carnegie Steel Company.

    Five Ways to Explore the Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse & Museum in Jupiter, Florida

    We’ve explored Palm Beach County, Florida many times when visiting family in Delray Beach. This past trip, we finally had time to stop at the Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse and Museum that we’ve passed several times and enjoyed exploring the ever expanding complex.

    Operated by the Loxahatchee River Historical Society, the first lighthouse museum opened in 1973 and now welcomes over 800,000 visitors to the complex each year. The nonprofit manages the 1860 Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse and Oil House, 1892 George Washington Tindall House, 1929 Lighthouse Keeper’s Workshop, and 1940 Naval Housing Building (currently closed due to nearby bridge construction). The lighthouse and museums are located on a complex, owned by the town of Jupiter, which also include large sports fields, nature trails, and a large playground.

    10 Things Kids Will Want to Do at Hancock Shaker Village

    Traveling during a still present pandemic: If you’ve been following our adventures this summer, you know that our family has taken precautions to stay safe. We’ve limited our exploration to nearby states with lower COVID cases and to mainly outdoor spaces that take proper precautions to keep staff and visitors safe. Hancock Shaker Village was an easy choice- tons of open space to socially distance, only one family in a building structure at a time (with all doors and windows open to allow for better ventilation), and absolutely nothing to touch. While Hancock Shaker Village is a great place to visit anytime, it’s a very safe bet for family fun during these uncertain times.

    Celebrating its 60th anniversary in 2020, the Hancock Shaker Village is the oldest working farm in the Berkshires part of western Massachusetts. The Village was originally home to the Shaker community from the late 1700s until 1959, when it was turned into a museum that includes over 22,000 original artifacts and a research library. The 750 acre complex has a 20 acre working farm, 20 buildings with live interpreters, a massive garden with a very popular Community Supported Agriculture (CSA), and tons of hiking trails, meadows, and woodlands that abut the Pittsfield State Forest.

    City Guide: 25 Places in Manhattan Kids Will Love

    We are fortunate to live an hour outside of New York City and we take advantage of our close proximity as much as possible. There are so many family friendly places in the 22 square miles of New York City that our list could potentially go into the hundreds! For this week, however, we’ll stick with 25 places we have explored over the past decade, including a few spots that spill over into the Bronx. 

    We’ll acknowledge some gaps in this list- the Metropolitan Museum of Art and American Museum of Natural History are missing from this list- but we have not been to some very popular spots in over a decade (all the more reason to rerun ASAP!) For organizational purposes, we’ve listed sites by location, starting with the Financial District and working on our way up island through the Upper East and West Sides all the way to the Bronx (we had to include a couple of our favorite spots, which happen to in the Bronx- see #23-25)

    AT&T Stadium, home of the Cowboys, in Arlington, Texas

    Full disclosure: We’re NY Giants fans. Like, season-ticket-holder NY Giants fans. So when our friends and family heard we were going to visit the home of our arch rivals, the Dallas Cowboys, they asked if they should have bail money on hold. Not to worry – real Giants fans keep it classy! Plus, we’d heard how beautiful and enormous (if you can use those words to describe a sporting venue) AT&T Stadium is, so we had to check it out for ourselves. Our son still insisted on frowning or “booing” in every photo.
