Is there a place you’ve always wanted to venture to with your family?

I think we all grow up with hopes and dreams of traveling the world, but as we grow older, we learn the world can get in the way.

As a child, nothing seemed more exotic to me than traveling to another continent.  I would love to one day take my children to experience the splendor of Italy, and specifically, Rome.

Books were my best friends growing up.  Though I could read just about anything I put my hands on, I truly loved reading about faraway places and imagining what life was like all those ages ago.

I believe that taking my boys to Rome would give them a real sense of history and impress upon them just how far civilization has come, and how humans centuries ago weren’t that different from us now.  Of course, they will imagine that it was hard to grow up without a phone or tablet!

The upcoming film Smallfoot also teaches a lesson about pushing your boundaries and exploring the unfamiliar.

 An animated adventure for all ages, with original music and an all-star cast, “Smallfoot” turns a myth upside down when a bright young yeti finds something he thought didn’t exist—a human.

News of this “smallfoot” throws the simple yeti community into an uproar over what else might be out there in the big world beyond their snowy village, in an all new story about friendship, courage and the joy of discovery.

“Smallfoot” stars Channing Tatum (“The LEGO® Batman Movie,” the “Jump Street” films) , Zendaya (“Spider-Man: Homecoming”), Common (“Selma”), LeBron James (upcoming “Space Jam 2”), Danny DeVito (“The Lorax,” Oscar nominee for “Erin Brockovich”), Gina Rodriguez (“Jane the Virgin”), and Yara Shahidi (TV’s “Black-ish”).  It debuts in theaters on September 28.
