Universal's Helios Grand Hotel is the newest-and most luxe-property at Universal Orlando. The decor is Mediterranean-inspired and the private entrance to Epic Universe is legit. The 14 "How to Train Your Dragon" themed kids' rooms are cool without being corny. It's in the same hotel category as Portofino and Hard Rock, but the atmosphere is totally different. Calming colors, breezy architecture, and little surprises like the prosecco popsicle at Lotus Lagoon.

Alright, friends, grab your snacks, lace up those boots, and let's talk epic adventures without the epic exhaustion. As a travel writer and working mom with a deep appreciation for wild views and well-timed naps, I know the magic of a hike that thrills without requiring a Sherpa or three days off-grid. These are the one-day wonders: bucket list hikes across the USA that pack stunning scenery, Insta-worthy moments, and a glorious sense of accomplishment - all before dinner.

I scored major "cool mom" points by taking my almost 5-year-old daughter to Mall of America on a three-night vacation. Located just outside Minneapolis, MOA has drawn more than 40 million visitors a year since it opened in 1992. It's easy to see how it earned iconic status: indoor roller coasters, an aquarium with a walk-through tunnel, shops that stretch for literal miles. Back then, it felt like the future-and somehow, it still does.
