If you’re like me, you’d be more than happy to get some work done in a place with free WiFi, gorgeous greenery, soft music, books, and a spot to grab some coffee. However, if there are cool cars on display, that typically translates to salesmen who would go for the jugular the second they see interest in your eyes. Not at a Rivian Space. There, the company offers everything I just mentioned, without the pressure to buy a car.

The atmosphere was perfect, and the food was fantastic. And yet… our teen-only ate bread. Here’s why I still call our Huset review CDMX experience a complete win, even when family travel doesn’t go according to plan.

From the cobalt blues of Frida’s house to the sweet crunch of fresh churros, our day in Coyoacán wasn’t just about seeing Mexico City; it was about feeling every vibrant moment as a family. You know those travel days that just flow?

Traveling with kids to Mexico City taught me that some of life’s best lessons come wrapped in unexpected packages. Our day at Chapultepec Zoo started with pure joy and ended with a reality check that reminded me why staying vigilant matters, especially when you’re responsible for little hearts that trust you completely.

The rain was coming down heavy as I left my house at 7:15 AM, determined to make it to Rivian’s newly reimagined Meatpacking space by 9:00 AM. While I’d given myself what seemed like plenty of time, NYC traffic and Mother Nature clearly had other plans for my morning. I should have known better.

After a chaotic travel day, Entremar gave us something we didn’t realize we were craving: calm. When planning our Mexico City culinary adventures, Entremar wasn’t initially on my radar. Everyone in my travel groups, friends, and associates, insisted Contramar was the non-negotiable dining experience; the place for those legendary tuna tostadas and seafood that apparently changes lives.

When planning our Mexico City spring break adventure, the Hilton Mexico City Reforma caught my eye for its central location and family-friendly reputation. As a Hilton Gold member, the promise of complimentary breakfast sealed the deal; not just because it saved us money, but because it meant not having to drag two tired kids out of the hotel first thing every morning. One less decision, one less expense, and much less morning drama.

The truth? This trip wasn’t “perfect,” but it was everything we needed. Ever have one of those vacations where nothing goes quite as planned but somehow ends up being exactly what your family needs? That was our spring break in Mexico City. With my teen daughter who’d rather be anywhere else, my energetic 5-year-old who demanded pool time daily, and a meticulously planned itinerary that quickly unraveled, this trip taught me more about embracing the journey than any “perfect” vacation ever could.

Have you ever found yourself sitting in your parked car, just breathing for a few extra minutes before heading inside to face the chaos that awaits? If you’re nodding your head right now, you’re not alone.

The most luxurious experience often happens during uninterrupted hours with an old friend who knows your whole story. A Sunday brunch transformed into a necessary pause button with my friend Khendra. We enjoyed Caribbean food, shared hearty laughs, and filled our hearts. I nearly forgot what unfiltered, unhurried friendship feels like amid travel, motherhood, and endless responsibilities. Mango Bay brought it all back. When Life Is Moving Too FastPicture this: Mary J.
