Building An Authoritative Travel Blog

Authoritative blogs seem all the rage at the moment but what exactly is an " Authoritative Travel Blog ?" Well my understanding of the matter is it is a blog that is not only very informative to the readers but that the information comes from authoritative type people in connection with what they are writing about.

Hopefully my articles below will give an insight on travel and travel related experiences from all over the world from many authoritative writers as they have been there and done that.

Articles will be and are published often and this means current travel experiences and up to date places to visit. If you have also visited these places or wish to comment then please do so remembering this blog is intended to family orientated visitors so please be respectful.

I have seen many fears raised through my article site and feel that any traveller today that, for one reason or another, decides against travel insurance then they are possibly being a little short sighted. We do not want our boats to sink but are happy to carry life rafts. travel insurance is a similar idea. We do not wish to ever claim on it but if things go wrong as they sometimes do it is a benifit to have the insurance.

Florida Family Activities in Museums

By Chris Blackerby

Kids have oftentimes equated museums with the word boring, and us adults, who tried to take them to one, should know this better than anyone else. But today, museums are slowly taking the spotlight for themselves as they heat up the competition on family activity lists and begin to take on a more hands-on approach on their visitors, kids and adults alike. And with Florida's best museums on the forefront, learning has never gotten this exciting.

Celebrating its 25th anniversary with an exhibit called The Making of MOSI, the Museum of Science and Industry (MOSI) in Tampa, opens up rare archives and objects never before seen by the public. MOSI, the biggest science center in Southeastern USA, is also popular to the kids for The Vertical Rider, an anti-gravity race track where kids get to drive toy race cars on the ceiling!

Imaginarium Hands On Museum in Fort Myers takes on hands-on learning to a whole new level. The museum lets the kids experience archaeology in their Florida Fossil Quarry and Dino Dig exhibits by allowing them to play around and dig the fossils themselvels! Imaginarium is a good place if your kid dislikes "Don't Touch" signs in museums.

Miami Museum of Science and Planetarium goes out of its cosmic boundaries to offer an outdoor animal exhibit and indoor exploring adventure with an Indiana Jones-style twist. Some of their popular exhibits include, Newton's Notions, an exhibit on the Physics of everyday stuff and the Immersion Theater, which takes you inside a virtual human body in a small spaceship.

Ever wondered about the life of Florida's favorite fruit, the orange? You can learn more in Lakeland's Explorations V Children Museum. They also offer play clinics, grocery stores, banks and schoolhouses, all made for your children to enjoy!

DAYTONA USA is not entirely just a racetrack anymore. Now it offers features for kids who want to learn life on the fast road. Experience driving simulation made realistic with bumps, assist in almost real pit stops, and join in on many more fun activities for both kids and daddies alike.

Florida museums are finally realizing the importance of fun in making kids learn. They're offering more and more exciting family activities to serve this purpose. Make sure to visit them if you want your kid to have best learning experience ever.
