Good morning, fellow travelers!

 

It’s that most glorious of mornings—Friday. Around here, Friday means preschool, alone time for mama and the promise of happy hour. What’s not to like about that?

 

You know what else I like about Fridays? Why, Friday Favorites, of course! Join me, won’t you, for my virtual trip around the old Interwebs?

 

Friday is the culmination of a wild week in my household. It’s the day when bedtime seems like it won’t come for, like, a week. That’s why I plan to steal this hilarious sign on my next trip to Georgia. Moms, can I get an amen? – Vagabondish

 

On that note, serenity is hard to achieve when you’re a work-at-home mother to two kids under five. It’s no wonder that by Friday I’m totally frazzled. That’s why this gorgeous photograph of Cuero y Salado National Park caught my eye. Have you ever seen anything more beautifully peaceful? – Notes From The Road

 

Last week I asked my daughter if she’d like to go to her grandmother’s house on an airplane. “Or blimp?” she replied, hopefully. I was skeptical, until I came across this post about traveling by zeppelin. – What A Trip by Nancy Brown

 

Speaking of kids, doesn't a vacation that includes running them like ponies until they collapse sound like heaven? This city girl has a hankerin' for a ranch vacation, and this guide to kids and the wild west leads the way. – CiaoBambino!

 

April calls to mind my wedding day, as our anniversary is April 13th. That’s right, every few years our anniversary is on Friday the 13th. I’m not sure what that says about us. What does your wedding date say about you? Or how about the venue? Was it wild and crazy, or traditional and sedate? If you’re looking to get hitched—and I highly recommend it—check out this cool guide to unique wedding venues. – BootsnAll Travel

 

That's it for this week, friends. Now I'm off to make Missisippi Mud Cake for the preschool spring concert. What are you doing today? And please, help a busy mom out. Send us your Friday Favorites, to editor AT travelmuse DOT com.

I can’t believe it’s Friday again, mostly because this past week somehow escaped the normal constraints of time and lasted for AN ENTIRE MONTH.

 

Seriously, this was the longest week in the history of time, wasn’t it? Or was it just me, with my bad knee and the 7-month-old who is practicing walking?

 

OK, so maybe it’s just me.

 

Anyhoo, here we are again, and I’ve had a great time rounding up this week’s Friday Favorites for your reading pleasure.

 

Nepotism has it’s place, so please go read about our own Donna Airoldi’s emotional experience at the Western Wall in Jerusalem. I was feeling bitter that Donna was in Israel and I was stuck in my family room with holes in my leg, and then I read her moving post about placing her private wish into a crevice in the historic religious landmark. – TravelMusings

 

Everyone has a vice—is yours traveling? Find out by reading this “Top Ten” list of signs you might be a travel addict. – Nomadic Matt

 

If you’re like me, your kids are strapped into their car seats tighter than John Glenn orbiting the moon. Check out this great guide to choosing a car seat for a road trip, and Godspeed. – DeliciousBaby

 

My docs cleared me for summertime travel, and it can’t come soon enough. I’m already dreaming about long afternoons on Indian Neck Beach. On our way there, maybe we’ll stop at the Eric Carle Museum. I’ve read “Brown Bear, Brown Bear” about 8,000 times, so it seems fitting. – Mother of All Trips

 

Many of you—not me (pout)—are going on spring break next week. So what’s the most important thing to bring with you? – Tripso

 

There you have it, the best of the week. What’s on your list? Send your picks to editor AT travelmuse DOT com. Happy weekend!

This has been a heck of a week, folks. Like, maybe one of the Top 10 All-Time Hardest Weeks for this blogger. I, for one, almost wept with gratitude when I looked at the calendar today.

 

Friday means Saturday is just around the bend. Friday means the babysitter comes. Friday means there's a chance I might go to Happy Hour with my husband.

 

It also means it’s time for TravelMusing’s Friday Favorites! This week, I needed to get my funny on, folks.

 

Moms and dads know all about diaper changes on the go. Kayt Sukel shares her list of strangest places she’s changed her son’s pants, and she’s got some good ones. Go share your own stories and share her pain, will you? – TravelSavvyMom

 

This next one made me laugh like a 14-year-old boy. I dare you not to giggle while watching this hilarious clip from CNN. – Tripso

 

There’s nothing funny at all about the current economic climate, but one mother makes the case for dreaming of travel to far-off places. – The Mother of All Trips

 

Speaking of dreams, how about a trip to Switzerland? I loved the photos in this great post about how to enjoy the mountains if you’re a non-skier. I’ll read this one again when I’m recovering from knee surgery next week. – Here To Geneva

 

Not going anywhere anytime soon? Like me? Live vicariously through other people’s vacation photos. Our own talented Calista Chandler offers some super tips on finding great images on Flickr, as if the Internetz didn’t suck up enough of your time already. – TravelMuse Photo Blog

 

I’m outie, people. Time for you to ante up—please, for the love of Pete, send us something, will you? Send your own Friday Favorites to editor AT travelmuse DOT com.

It’s been a long week, hasn’t it? But never fear, intrepid travelers. Friday is here, and somewhere in the world it’s time for a stiff drink. It’s also time for TravelMusing’s Friday Favorites!

 

Nothing catches my attention like the words “nearly naked.” The Coney Island Polar Bear Club and Circle Line Sightseeing Cruises are teaming up for a benefit to help raise funds for the Wildlife Conservation Society, which runs several of New York City’s zoos: take a Feb. 28 Hudson River cruise in your bathing suit and help the real polar bears. —NewYorkology

 

One California family of three is leaving everything behind to start a new life in the jungles of South America. Jen asks what we’d take with us. Me? My laptop and wireless router. What? They don’t work in the jungle? Yeah, I’ll be staying home. —One Plus Two

 

Do you love your city so much you want to marry it? Albert Lee of Philadelphia does. He tells us why he hearts his hometown. The photo with this post had me humming the theme to “Rocky” all morning. —Intelligent Travel

 

Last but not least, combining kids with travel requires a serious sense of humor. Parents will appreciate the sentiments behind this hilarious road sign. —Vagabondish

 

That’s it, that’s all I’ve got, folks. My weekend travel will be limited to a trip to Target, but at least I get to live vicariously. And stop being so shy—send us some of the great stuff you’re reading on the old Interwebs, will you? Send your faves to editor@travelmuse.com.

 

Bottom’s up!
