Travel made easy without the need for screen time!
With a VIP pass in our hands and a trip to Movie World already ticked off our Bucket List our next adventure on the Gold Coast was to Sea World. We packed a set of bathers in our bag in case the kids got wet, a tube of sunscreen (you need to keep applying this stuff …
If you are travelling to the Gold Coast with kids then I am assuming that you probably have a theme park or two on your itinerary. We have had the luxury of exploring all the theme parks and most attractions in the Gold Coast over a number of trips North over the last few years. …
