With beautiful weather, gorgeous beaches, interesting history, excellent parks and museums and kid-friendly attractions like the San Diego Zoo, SeaWorld and LEGOLAND, San Diego is an ideal family vacation destination. My one-and-a-half-year-old son and I spent four days there earlier this month, soaking up the sun, going to SeaWorld and taking a trolley tour of the city.

We spent our first day in San Diego relaxing at our hotel, unwinding after a stressful morning of traveling. We got an amazing deal at the beautiful Paradise Point Resort. I kept waiting for someone to come tell us there had been a huge mistake and we were at the wrong hotel or something. Paradise Point Resort is on its own island in Mission Bay, with lush landscaping, lagoons and several gorgeous pools. It was perfect for taking little strolls with my toddler. The harbor view from the Barefoot Bar and Grill was gorgeous.

On our second day in San Diego, we walked about a mile to SeaWorld, where they’re running a special deal for an adult ticket at the kid’s ticket price PLUS a second day free. Jack fell asleep in his stroller on the way there. It was the first time he had fallen asleep in his stroller since he was a newborn! I’m sure it helped that he hadn’t slept well the night before, but I was SO glad. This meant we could spend more time at SeaWorld without having to hike all the way back to the hotel for a nap.

We went in as soon as he woke up and spent the whole day there, enjoying the animals and the Sesame Street Bay of Play. Check out all of our SeaWorld San Diego tips here. We headed back to the hotel for dinner and Jack fell asleep in his stroller again on the way! He was so conked out that I moved him to the hotel bed when we got back and he slept until morning.

The next day, after our morning stroll around the beach and lagoons, a trolley from Old Town Trolley Tours picked us up right in front of our hotel for a daylong on-off tour of San Diego. On our way, I caught a glimpse of an awesome playground right on the beach in Mission Bay Park. We never got a chance to go back to it, but it’s on my list for next time.

Then we headed to Old Town San Diego where the tour officially began. We had a few minutes to kill here and a stroll around showed many Mexican restaurants along with stores and carts full of souvenirs. Not much for kids to do here. We were happy to leave on the first trolley out.

Jack LOVED riding on the trolley. It had nice big open windows to enjoy the perfect San Diego weather and comfortable padded bench seats. The conductors were funny and I enjoyed their commentary, which included themed music for every stop. It was cheesy, but in a good way. The trolley makes 10 stops at points of interest around San Diego and you can get off at any stop and catch the next trolley. We didn’t have time to get off at every stop, but it was nice to drive by all the different attractions and see what else San Diego has to offer.

The first stop was at the San Diego harbor. Here we caught glimpse of some cool navy ships, the cruise ship terminal, the Star of India and the Maritime and USS Midway Museums. The USS Midway Aircraft Carrier—in other words, a BIG SHIP with PLANES on it—would be a great place to visit with kids. We were headed towards the next stop though, Seaport Village, to ride the carousel.

Seaport Village is a very cute, quaint little waterfront attraction with shops and restaurants. We spent an hour here, wandering around window-shopping at stores like Kite Flight, the Apple Box wooden toy store and Urban Girl Accessories; riding on the carousel a few times; and sharing a piece of pizza on a patio with a view of the ocean.

We hopped back on the trolley, skipping the next stop near the Children’s Museum, San Diego Convention Center and Petco Park, since the Children’s Museum was closed for remodeling. Jack took a nap as we passed by the Gaslamp Quarter and Bay Front Park and headed over the extremely tall Coronado Bay Bridge. I’m sure the view is gorgeous if you’re not deathly afraid of heights and riding in a trolley with huge open windows. Jack stayed asleep when we got off near the Hotel Del Coronado, so I got a chance to stroll around the historic Del (as it’s known by the locals) until he woke up and we headed down to the beautiful Coronado Beach.

According to our tour guide, Coronado Beach is one of the top beaches in the world for families. With its calm waves and sand sparkling with mica, I can see why. When you add in the cool military planes flying directly over the beach to land at the Naval Air Station, this beach is a kid’s dream come true. We could have spent all day here, splashing in the waves and playing with the sand, but there was still one more stop I wanted to hit: Balboa Park.

Balboa Park is incredible. This 1,200-acre park is home to the world-famous San Diego Zoo, beautiful architecture, cool museums, lush gardens and beautiful fountains. The park is so big it has its own visitor’s center and so nice that the bathroom has flowers and lit candles in it. I would love to come for longer next time and get the Passport to Balboa Park, a seven-day pass to your choice of 13 museums for only $39.

As it was, we only had an hour at the park before the last trolley back to the hotel, so we headed for the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center, a highly interactive science museum filled with hands-on exhibits for kids. Jack had such a blast here turning wheels and grocery shopping at Kid City.

We caught the trolley back to the hotel for dinner and an early bedtime after a long day of fun. The trolley tour was a great value. We did so much in one day and only spent $32 on the trolley tour, $3 on pizza and $10 on admission to the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center. We were in San Diego such a short time, but we got a little taste of everything thanks to this tour. Plus, we saved a lot of money by not renting a car.

On our last day in San Diego, we took advantage of our second day free at SeaWorld before taking off back to Denver, where the weather had decidedly turned cold for fall. I miss the gorgeous San Diego weather. Good thing we’re off to Orlando next! Stay tuned . . .

This week, I’m recommending Voyage.tv, mainly because I’m super excited about this promotion they’re doing called “Tweet Your Trip.” It is worth checking out regardless of the contest though, if only to watch the videos of luxury hotels and drool. I love the idea of having video on a travel site. If a picture says a thousand words, then a video is worth . . .  well, a lot more.

To enter Voyage.tv’s “Tweet Your Trip” promotion, all you have to do is follow @voyagetv on Twitter, then describe your dream vacation in 140 characters or less for the chance to win it. Each week through the end of October, they will pick a new winner. My favorite entries last week were:

sfpeach @voyagetv Curacao’s bright hues beckon me in striped clothes, on a red bike, by the turquoise sea and white beach. My straw hat blows away.

K_Gut @voyagetv I want some sushi, sake, and sashimi. So, to Japan, let’s go. From SFO to T-O-K-Y-O. And, an ichi-ban hotel for 2. BTW, thank you

And, of course, my own entry:

WanderTot @voyagetv Can you tell me how to get to Sesame Street … a trip for 3 to Beaches in Turks & Caicos would be so suite!

The winning entry was:

cheapestairfare @voyagetv Oh No I/Have Not Seen Moai/On Easter Island’s/Grassy Highlands/Nor Wild Horse Scurry/Near Unseen Quarry/LAN 767/To Island Heaven

What’s your dream trip? Tweet it and it may no longer be just a dream.

As I’m sure most moms do, I try to do everything I can to help my son’s developing brain. I have always assumed the traveling we do together has a positive impact on his brain development. I mean, how could it not? It definitely makes a difference when teaching Jack new words. His vocabulary is astounding for a 21-month-old. Sure, I can point to a picture of a manatee in a book and maybe eventually he’ll get it. Take him to see one at SeaWorld and he gets it immediately.

VacationBetter.org released a new analysis on a study by the U.S. Department of Education yesterday supporting my theory. The study examined a group of first graders to determine whether there was any relationship between going on vacation (as well as things like where they went and how long they spent there) and their academic achievement in reading, mathematics and general knowledge. The findings showed that kids who took a summer vacation significantly outperformed their peers on academic achievement assessment tests. The length of the trip had a “modest significant” relationship with academic achievement.

I was a little surprised by their finding that it didn’t seem to matter whether the kids went on a relaxing beach vacation or headed to historical sites and science museums. According to the study, kids who went to plays or concerts, art or science museums, historical sites, beaches or lakes, national or state parks, and zoos or aquariums all had significantly higher academic achievement scores than those who did not.

I think just getting to spend that quality time with their families without the distractions of daily life has a positive impact on every aspect of a child’s development, not just academically. I know it can be tough in this economy, but parents should try to cut from other areas to make room in the budget for travel. Not only does every parent need and deserve a vacation, it’s good for the kids too. So start saving those pennies for a trip to the beach!

Last week, I took advantage of SeaWorld San Diego’s current deal for an adult ticket at the kid’s price ($55) plus a second day free. Since my son is under two, he got in for free both days. We had a blast. Here’s what we learned:

Shows

“Believe: The Spectacular Shamu Show,” which is indeed spectacular, is an obvious must-see at SeaWorld, even if you only catch the first five minutes of it while chasing your toddler up and down the bleacher stairs. Is it weird that I think killer whales are beautiful? Because I do. This show captures their beauty, contrasts it with their awesome power and adds the amazement of their training.

Unless the park is so crowded that you’re worried about getting a seat at all, there’s no need to follow everyone’s advice to get to the show at least half an hour early unless you really want to sit front and center. In my opinion, it works much better to just go in right before the show starts, especially for young children who won’t want to sit and wait a half hour. I suppose one parent could save seats for the family, but really you can see just fine from anywhere.

I thought Jack would really enjoy the “Pets Rule!” show, and I think he might of if it weren’t for the extremely loud music. I actually had to cover his ears. And, FYI, for the animal’s safety, once the pet show starts, you’re not allowed to leave. So, that was a fun 20 minutes.

The “Sea Lions LIVE” show is funny for older kids and adults, but relies very heavily on pop culture. Since Jack has no idea what CSI and American Idol are, he was not very interested.

The best show for toddlers and preschoolers is definitely the Sesame Street presents Lights, Camera, Imagination! 4-D movie. Jack didn’t want anything to do with the 3-D glasses, but happily watched the blurry 2-D picture. The 4-D aspect was neat, but scary to some younger kids and babies, as water shoots at you suddenly.

Sesame Street Bay of Play

I wish we had spent more of our time here instead of at some of the shows. This two-acre Sesame Street-themed play area has tons of stuff for younger kids to do. There are three rides: “Elmo’s Flying Fish,” ”Oscar’s Rocking Eel” and “Abby’s Sea Star Spin.” Kids under 48″ can ride these with an adult, but they were still a bit too much for my one-and-a-half-year-old son. There are some other parts of the play area with height restrictions, but there’s plenty for kids of any height to do, including a sand play area, a soft “pool” with soft blocks, nets to climb on, water fountains, tunnels and even an area to play musical instruments.

Note: Sesame Street Bay of Play opens an hour AFTER the rest of the park; so don’t plan on going there first thing.

Animal Exhibits

The animal exhibits are very nicely done. The highlights are definitely “Rocky Point Preserve,” ”Wild Arctic,” “Penguin Encounter” and “Manatee Rescue.”

At “Rocky Point Preserve” you can go right up to the dolphin pool. You can even pet and feed the dolphins for $6. I couldn’t believe that! I always thought you had to pay hundreds of dollars to get that close to a dolphin anywhere. There is an age requirement though (I think it’s 6?), so we’ll have to save that until Jack is older. The sea otters right next to the dolphins are also a must-see.

“Wild Arctic” has polar bears, walruses and beluga whales as you wind through a cool building with helicopters and boxes and stuff to make it feel as if you are on an arctic expedition. Jack loved the blinking red lights, of course. I was thrilled to be able to check off #51 on my bucket list to see a beluga whale, although I would still like to see one in the wild someday.

“Penguin Encounter” cracked me up. It was EXACTLY like the penguin enclosure in Happy Feet. They obviously based the enclosure in the movie on this one, but it was just funny to see something from a cartoon in real life. The penguins were funny too.

“Manatee Rescue” was Jack’s favorite. When he hears me telling someone about San Diego or SeaWorld, he immediately chimes in with, “Man-a-tee! Man-a-tee!” They were pretty darn cute. We saw two of them kissing a few times and another one was just floating around in circles, which Jack thought was hilarious. Expect a lot of questions if you have older kids, as these animals have been rescued and many have obviously been pretty mangled. This exhibit made me feel good about spending the money on the hefty entry fee, if even just a small part of it goes toward SeaWorld’s conservation and rescue efforts. Very cool.

Rides

There are several rides Jack and I didn’t go on, two because Jacks too little and two because they cost extra. “Journey to Atlantis” is part roller coaster, part water ride and looks like it would be a lot of fun. If you go as a family, you could take turns riding it while one parent stays at the “Bay of Play” with the kids. Same goes for the “Shipwreck Rapids,” which also looks really fun. On this one, you splash through rapids in a chair on a raft. For an extra $3 (or $5 for both), you can ride across beautiful Mission Bay in the “Bayside Skyride” or go up in the “Skytower” to see the San Diego skyline for up to 100 miles in every direction.

Finding your way around

The way SeaWorld is laid out makes no sense at all (at least to me), especially since they are doing construction right now right in the middle of the park. So to get from one side to the other, you have to go ALL the way around. Plus, all the signs are wrong thanks to the construction. We got lost over and over trying to get to the different shows. I wish we would have just done everything on one side and then the other instead of wandering around trying to find a specific exhibit or show.

Other SeaWorld tips

• Since SeaWorld is owned by Anheuser Busch, you can see the famed Budweiser Clydesdales here in addition to ocean life. You can also get a cold beer pretty much anywhere in the park.

• Be sure to check SeaWorld’s website or call about attraction closures before you go. I saw many excited people come up to the “Journey to Atlantis” ride, only to be terribly disappointed to find it closed for maintenance.

• Before we went, I heard all about the terrible, overpriced food, which I kind of expect at a park like this. We did have some not-so-great food, but we got some good pizza at Mama Stella’s at our last meal there. Next time, I’m only eating there.

• Expect to get wet. Bring ponchos if you want to sit up front at a show. Bring ziplock bags for your camera and phone, just in case. And bring swimsuits and swim diapers for the kids to splash around at the “Sesame Street Bay of Play.”

• Don’t forget the sunscreen! There is very, very little shade at SeaWorld.

• Speaking of the sun and heat, go to the left when you enter the park in the morning and save the right side for when it gets hotter. Then you can cool down at attractions like “Wild Arctic” and “Penguin Encounter” in the afternoon.

• Members of the military and up to three of their dependents can get complimentary admission for a single day in 2009. SeaWorld also does a nice tribute to members of the military at the beginning of the Shamu show.

Each week, I will feature a useful travel website or blog worth checking out. This week, I’m recommending Disney’s family travel site. You would think their advice would be limited to all things Disney, but they have tons of great vacation ideas that are completely unrelated. You can search by vacations for babies, toddlers, school-age kids and pre-teens. They have family travel ideas, attractions, tips and more. Their pre-trip ideas are great; for example, if you’re traveling to London, they suggest making scones; watching Peter Pan, Mary Poppins and Harry Potter; and reading Oliver Twist and Madeline in London.

I LOVE Harry Potter. So when I saw the news today detailing Universal’s plans for a new Harry Potter theme park, I was thrilled, even though it’ll be a long time before my 20-month-old son will appreciate it.

According to Universal’s website, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter will be “inspired by J.K. Rowling’s compelling stories and characters—and faithful to the visual landscapes of the films.” In fact, many of the people who worked on the sets for the films are heavily involved in designing the new park. Sounds promising.

The 20+-acre park located within Universal’s Islands of Adventure will completely immerse you in the wizarding world. As you step into the park, you will see the Hogwarts Express at the Hogsmeade Station, glistening and billowing steam. In Hogsmeade village, you will be able to visit many of the iconic shops from the books: get jokes at Zonko’s, chocolate frogs at Honeydukes, remembralls at Dervish and Banges, and let a wand choose you at Ollivander’s. You will be able to stop into the Three Broomsticks restaurant and Hog’s Head pub for traditional British fare, including butterbeer and pumpkin juice, then send a postcard postmarked from Hogsmeade at the Owl Post (next door to the Owlery, of course).

Towering over Hogsmeade, Hogwarts castle will feature an experience called “Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey.” Details on this were vague, but intriguing. Apparently, it will use brand-new technology to bring the castle to life, whatever that means. Sounds good to me. There will also be “Dragon Challenge,” two high-speed roller coasters inspired by the first challenge of the Triwizard Tournament, along with a tamer roller coaster, “Flight of the Hippogriff.”

J.K. Rowling created a whole other world with her Harry Potter series. Now it seems we may get to enter into that world for a time. It’ll be a nice change from other theme parks’ cutesy nature while remaining a fantastic escape from reality. Count me in.

Now that many airlines are charging per bag you check in, including the first bag, it matters more than ever that you pack smart. Even if you can bring more bags without the extra charge, it’s still another piece of luggage you have to lug from your car to check in and then again from baggage claim to your hotel. Plus, if you can manage to get everything in your carry-on, you can skip baggage claim altogether.

I find I can travel with my toddler for up to a week with no more than a carry-on bag, a diaper bag and an umbrella stroller. We parents are lucky in that we can usually bring a carseat, diaper bag and a stroller for free and none count towards our allotment of luggage. I was very surprised (and thankful!) to learn that the first time I flew with my baby. Still, packing all we need in one suitcase and one diaper bag is quite a challenge.

The most helpful technique I know is to roll your clothes instead of folding them. Not only does this save space, it also helps keep wrinkles at bay. Try it and see what I mean. We are able to bring about three outfits a day for Jack (one for each meal) and a few extras for me this way.

Make the most of your diaper bag. Even if you are carrying on another bag, try to keep everything you’ll need to access during the flight in the diaper bag. Trying to get something out of a second bag mid-flight is just way too much of a headache.

Our diaper bag packing list:

• iPhone
• Wallet
• Boarding passes
• Two stackable sippy cups (one for me and one for Jack—if I want to get a drink on the plane, I pour it in the sippy cup so Jack can’t spill it)
• Snacks (including a lollypop for emergency use only)
• Easy-to-rinse bib
• Enough nighttime diapers (why nighttime?) to last until we get to the hotel
• Travel-sized package of wipes
• Shorts for Jack in case his pants get wet or dirty
• Several small toys
• Three or four small board books
• Jack’s lovey

All of the non-toy items also do double duty as toys. My wallet or iPhone will entertain Jack for longer than any of the actual toys.

You also want to be as smart as you can about packing your suitcase. When deciding what clothing to bring, try to consider what will take up the least space. Do you really need a thick sweatshirt or will a thin sweater do? Consider packing dresses (unless, of course, you’re a guy who’s not into that sort of thing). Dresses give you a whole outfit for practically no space at all. If you’re really tight on space, you can stuff your socks into your shoes to make the most of space that would otherwise be empty. Also be sure to make the most of any outer pockets on your bag. I usually stuff as many diapers as I can in those.

Our carry-on suitcase packing list:

• Clothes
• More nighttime diapers, plus regular diapers and swim diapers
• Package of wipes
• More stackable sippy cups
• Laptop
• Camera
• Ziplock bag of toiletries, including travel-sized baby sunscreen and baby Tylenol
• Comfortable walking shoes
• Flip-flops
• Sunglasses
• Baggallini Bag in a Pouch

Be sure to keep anything you need to take out at the security checkpoint easily accessible, which in our case includes the laptop and ziplock baggie of liquids.

It is also important to pay close attention to what you wear on the plane, as that’s part of what you’re bringing with you. I wear black pants, a patterned dark shirt and black slip-on shoes. The slip-on shoes are a given; it is hard enough to get through security with kids in tow without having to tie and untie or buckle and unbuckle your shoes. The black patterned shirt and black pants look nice, which puts passengers around us at ease (the frazzled-mom look is not too comforting in a row-mate), but more importantly, it is pretty darn good at hiding anything Jack decides to spill/wipe/etc. on my clothing. If you have a young baby, I would recommend adding a shirt underneath in case you need to take off the top layer due to a bad spit-up incident or leaky diaper.

Jack’s airport outfit is similar to mine: dark pants and a T-shirt under a patterned button-up shirt. I like to put layers on him so I can take one off if he gets warm and put it back on if he gets cold. Plus, that’s more clothing we have with us without taking up space in our luggage.

Consider your options carefully before giving up and adding another bag to the mix. Can you purchase diapers at your destination? Can you do a load of laundry at the hotel? Do you need your shampoo or can you use the bottle the hotel provides? Is it really worth the money to pay to check the suitcase there and back and have the hassle of another bag or can you do without some of the stuff?

Even if you do end up bringing another suitcase, hopefully these tips will still help you make the most of it!

On September 11th, 2001, my husband was backpacking with friends in the Northern California wilderness. Looking around on a mountaintop at their peaceful surroundings, they commented that the world could be at war and they would never know it. Little did they know, thousands of miles away, the World Trade Center was burning. I wish we could all be on that mountaintop, oblivious to the evil in this world. But the truth is, it happened and we have to try to deal with it and help our kids deal with it the best we can.

Some of my favorite bloggers have written powerful posts in remembrance of 9/11:

In Born on September 11: A Birthday Forever Changed, Parent Dish’s Julia Halewicz explores what it means to have a birthday on 9/11, including a moving story of a little girl who woke up to the sound of the first plane hitting the World Trade Center on her fourth birthday.

Flight Attendant Heather Poole of Gadling’s Galley Gossip, wrote this powerful post about trying to get stories of how 9/11 may have changed people’s lives in a positive way.

MetroDad posted a moving letter to a dear friend he lost in the terrorist attacks.

Take a moment today to remember all those whose lives were tragically cut short eight years ago today and don’t forget to tell your loved ones that they are loved.

To me, vacation is about indulgence, whereas travel is about seeing the world. How many times have you bought something or ordered something more extravagant than you normally would, saying, “Well, we are on vacation.” Staying at a luxury hotel, eating gourmet meals and buying up souvenirs can add up to thousands of dollars in just a few days. I can see why many families can only afford to take one vacation a year.

But it doesn’t have to be that way if you just change your mindset a little. I think especially when you have young children, a luxury vacation just doesn’t make sense. Children aren’t going to care if you eat or sleep at the nicest place in town. Plus, they might throw a fit or decide not to sleep and you’ll probably regret spending the money. Not to mention that part of a vacation is relaxation, which is nearly impossible with children.

If you concentrate instead on showing your children the world, you can turn a budget for one vacation into tons of trips throughout the year. Shop around for cheap destinations, travel during off-peak times and get groceries instead of eating out for every meal. There are a million little ways to save on a vacation and it adds up quick.

When shopping around for hotels, if you find a good rate with a good cancelation policy, book it! If you find a better deal later on, just cancel the booking. Also consider trying Hotwire. They are able to have the very lowest rates by not telling you what hotel you’re getting until after you check out. That way, the hotel can offer a price much, much lower than it’s cheapest advertised price. You can pick the star rating and even the neighborhood. I think it’s kind of a fun adventure to let fate decide your hotel for you. The only downside is that it’s completely nonrefundable. I still think it’s often worth the risk.

Do the math to see if it really makes sense to get a rental car. I find it’s often cheaper to take a shuttle to and from the airport and use a taxi to get around town, especially if the hotel charges for parking. Don’t forget to add in parking fees from the attractions you plan to visit and gas as well.

While things like getting cheap accommodation and flights make a huge difference, remember the small things add up. Before you buy something on your trip, ask yourself if it’s really worth spending the money, lugging it home and taking up space in your house. I think you will find you don’t really want that keychain or mug or snow globe. If your kids want something, try asking them if they would rather buy that now or use the money to do an activity later.

If they’re old enough, I highly recommend giving your kids control over the entire vacation budget, as seen on the Travel Channel’s The Kids Are In Charge: Family Vacation. What an excellent opportunity to teach kids about money, budgeting and planning! If you have three kids and you’re going for three days, you give each kid 1/3 of the money and have them each be in charge of one day. You might be surprised how much more aware they are of how the money is being spent.

I think you will find it even more fun and rewarding when you decide to travel with this mindset. Traveling is a great time to bond with your family and teach them about the world around them. Make the most of it while you can.

Do you always end up coming home from vacation with more than you left with? I know I do. Packing light and packing for a trip with kids don’t exactly go together, so our suitcases are packed to the gills when we leave for a trip. There’s just no room to bring any extras we bought on vacation home with us. Enter the Baggallini Bag in a Pouch (also known as the Baggallini Bagg in a Pouch), designed by two veteran flight attendants.

Just as it sounds, this sturdy bag folds up into a tiny pouch, so that you can easily fit it in your luggage on the way there, then expand it to take home all that stuff you picked up on your trip. The medium-size bag is a mere 1.25 lbs. and folds into an 8″ x 9.25″ pouch, expanding into a sturdy 15″ x 20″ x 5.5″ bag. The large size is 1.5 lbs., folds into a 10.75″ x 8.75″ pouch and expands into an 18″ x 24″ x 7″ bag.

The Baggallini Bag in a Pouch is surprisingly durable. I have checked it before with no problem. I wouldn’t put anything breakable in it, of course, but it works great to use as a dirty laundry basket. I just open it up at the hotel room, put all of our dirty laundry in it (which we have A LOT of with a small child around), then zip it up and take it to the airport when we’re ready to go. Then, I can use all the space those clothes were taking up in the suitcase for any souvenirs I want to bring home.

Ah, the simple things in life. You can find a Baggallini Bag in a Pouch online for around $30-$50 or use their store finder to find a retailer in your area.

I have no affiliation with Baggallini, nor was I compensated for this review in any way. I’m just a fan.
