John Stamos Shares One of the Last 'Full House' Cast Pics with Bob Saget

john stamos from full house

The on-screen couple’s real-life friendship felt, at one time to Stamos, like it was on the precipice of turning romantic. In 1984, Stamos moved to prime-time with CBS’ Dreams, a short-lived sitcom that featured him as the frontman of a working-class Philadelphia band. Two years later, he was cast opposite Jack Klugman in the sitcom You Again? Three weeks later, Stamos was cast as Blackie Parrish on the ABC soap opera General Hospital. While the character was originally scheduled for a five-episode arc, Stamos’ popularity and audience appeal transformed Blackie into the show’s new mainstay, and the young actor soon found that he had become a Hollywood heartthrob. Stamos earned several awards during his two-year stint as the sexy, savvy yet troubled teen, and he was finally given full leave from his grill post at his father’s restaurants.

It concluded, “He was a brother to us guys, a father to us girls and a friend to all of us. Stamos is an unabashed Disney adult, although he puts most of that onus on his wife, actress and writer Caitlin McHugh. In the living room, there’s an actual seat from Disneyland’s Dumbo ride, a gift to Stamos from his then-wife Rebecca Romijn, and his office desk displays one of Walt’s candlestick phones next to a picture of the media giant using it. He married actor and model Caitlin McHugh in 2018, just before the birth of their son, Billy. It was the end of what he says was maybe one of the longest childhoods in history. Stamos performed on an independently released 1994 album entitled Shades of Blue along with Lanny Cordola, Gary Griffin, Sandra Stephens, Tony Guerrero, and David Enos.

Early Life and Family

In 2002, he revisited the stage, starring as the Emcee in the Broadway production of Cabaret. Stamos starred as a gay wedding planner who stands up for his right to get hitched in the 2006 film. In 2015–2016, Stamos starred as the lead character in the Fox sitcom Grandfathered. He also spearheaded the attempt to get a reboot of Full House into production – now named Fuller House, and is an executive producer of the Netflix series.

Stamos didn't love the Olsen twins or Bob Saget... at first

As the motorcycle-riding, Elvis-worshipping Uncle Jesse, Stamos became a huge success. By the time the series reached its second season, it had become a top 20 hit, and Stamos was a household name. All seven of the original cast members remained with the show through its entire eight-year run, with five characters added to the main cast along the way. D.J.'s best friend Kimmy was a recurring character in seasons one through four, who was upgraded to a regular in season five. Rebecca originally appeared for six episodes in season two; producers decided to expand her role and made her a regular the following season. After marrying Jesse, they have twins Nicky and Alex, who make their debut in season five.

In the season 3 episode “Tanner’s Island,” patriarch Danny Tanner took his kids to Hawaii. The cast actually got to travel to paradise to complete scenes for the episode. Three seasons later, the characters were seen visiting Walt Disney World in Florida for the two-part season 6 finale where Danny proposes to Vicky Larson. There was only one episode throughout the franchise that was actually filmed in multiple spots around the city — season 8’s “Comet’s Excellent Adventure,” per IMDb. After the Tanner family’s beloved pooch, Comet, goes missing during the episode, they’re seen searching around San Franscisco to find him. It wasn’t the only episode of the series that was not filmed on the WB lot.

Breaking News

In the voiceover to the clip, John got sentimental about how much Full House still means to him, almost four decades later. Stamos and Romijn were married in an elaborate 500-person wedding. It wasn’t until he went to rehab in 2015 following an arrest for drunk driving that he accepted his role in the breakup. He writes in his book that he had “the sort of true friendship that’s supposed to be the foundation of a great, lasting relationship” with Lori Loughlin, who played his wife, Becky, on Full House.

Later TV Roles: ER to You

Celebrity Net Worth values Stamos’ assets at about $25 million. That’s less than a number of his Full House co-stars, including the Olsen twins ($250 million each), his on-screen wife Lori Loughlin ($70 million), and Bob Saget ($50 million at his death). He had tackled the same role a few years back in a Hollywood Bowl stage production. While continuing in his role on ER, Stamos appeared opposite Sean Diddy Combs and Phylicia Rashad in ABC’s 2008 adaptation of A Raisin in the Sun. The production was honored with nominations at the Golden Globes and the Emmys. After ER’s cancellation the next year, Stamos returned to Broadway, this time performing opposite Gina Gershon in the revival of Bye Bye Birdie.

Still, it’s worth a trip to 1709 Broderick Street in San Francisco to visit the abode if you can’t get enough of Full House reruns. The property snoops at the Wall Street Journal first reported the news, adding that the seller — Leah Culver, a senior software engineer at Twitter — is looking to break even. She purchased the Queen Anne house, formerly dressed with a pink exterior, for $3.55 million in January 2020.

When Stamos quit 'General Hospital,' he was told he'd never work again

Bill’s father, a Greek immigrant, changed the family’s surname from Stamatopolous.

As Full House's Uncle Jesse, he performed "Forever" several times, and even filmed an "official" music video for it in season 5 of the show. Stamos has occasionally performed in concert with the Beach Boys, dating back to 1985, typically playing drums and various other percussion instruments. In 1988, he appeared in their video for "Kokomo", in which he played both the conga drums and the steel drums. In 1990, he played drums for them on the title track of the comedy Problem Child and also appeared in the song's music video. From September 2015 to 2016, Stamos starred as the lead character in the Fox sitcom Grandfathered.

The home was constructed in 1883 according to the Craigslist posting and showcases the Victorian architecture for which the city is famous. While the rental comes unfurnished, the photos included in the listing show the 3-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom abode as it was elegantly outfitted by the previous owners. The now empty 2,985-square-foot space is still camera-ready with walls of built-in bookshelves, gilded finishes and plenty of pattern throughout.

At his house, Stamos showed Smith Saget's guitar, which his wife gave to him. But his star really took off in 1987, when he was cast as Uncle Jesse Katsopolis in the TV series "Full House." An earlier version of this story originally aired on October 2, 2022. Stamos performed on an independently released 1994 album called Shades of Blue which was released on iTunes in 2010 after being long out of print. On last week’s episode of Hot Ones, John Stamos revealed that he “hated” Full House at the beginning and had even threatened to quit the family sitcom, which ran on ABC from 1987 to 1995. Having befriended his idols, The Beach Boys during his General Hospital days, Stamos was invited to drum with them at their Fourth of July set in 1985.

The Beach Boys was an odd choice to play the Stagecoach country music festival to start with, then as they took the stage Sunday afternoon the only people singing were actor John Stamos and Sugar Ray frontman Mark McGrath, also strange. Fans of the iconic sitcom “Full House,” which famously starred Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen — as well as the late comedian Bob Saget, who passed away unexpectedly in January at age 65 — can now own part of the show’s history. In Season 5 of Full House, Jesse and the Rippers signed a record deal and released “Forever” as their debut single, where it surged to No. 1 in Japan. Jesse is later kicked out of the band because of his commitment to his family, but he went on to form a new band called Hot Daddy and the Monkey Puppets. Some members of the Full House cast — sans the Olsen twins — reunited for Netflix’s Fuller House revival. The five-season reboot aired in 2016 on the streaming platform, and followed the Tanner kids in adulthood.

Stamos told Hot Ones host Sean Evans that the series was initially pitched to him as a version of Bosom Buddies—the ’80s buddy sitcom starring Tom Hanks and Peter Scolari—featuring some children. Produced by Bosom Buddies creators Thomas L. Miller and Robert L. Boyett, Full House would follow Bob Saget’s character, Danny Tanner, a widower who decides to raise his three daughters with his friends “Uncle Jesse” Katsopolis (Stamos) and Joey Gladstone (Dave Coulier). “As we’re casting it, I was like, They’re spending a lot of time casting these kids that are gonna be in the background,” Stamos said. The series experienced heavy turnover with its writing staff throughout its run.

Where to Find the House Used on Full House and Fuller House

The first season in particular had at least three writing staff changes, with Lenny Ripps (who remained with the show until the early part of the fourth season, by then serving as a creative consultant) and Russell Marcus being the only writers surviving the changes through the entire season. Show creator and executive producer Jeff Franklin was the only writer to remain with the series throughout its entire eight-season run (Franklin also wrote and directed several episodes during the first five seasons). Full House is an American television sitcom created by Jeff Franklin for ABC. The show is about widowed father Danny Tanner who enlists his brother-in-law Jesse Katsopolis and childhood best friend Joey Gladstone to help raise his three daughters, eldest Donna Jo Margaret (D.J. for short), middle child Stephanie and youngest Michelle in his San Francisco home. It aired from September 22, 1987 to May 23, 1995, broadcasting eight seasons and 192 episodes.

Movies and Broadway Roles

Shades of Blue was re-released digitally through iTunes and other channels in 2010 after being long out-of-print. He appeared on Broadway as The Emcee in Cabaret, as Guido Contini in Nine and as J. Pierrepont Finch in How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying.[2] Stamos performed the Billy Joel song "Lullabye (Goodnight, My Angel)" on the 2006 charity album Unexpected Dreams – Songs From the Stars. Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Stamos and band co-founder Mike Love released a single called “This Too Shall Pass.” The actor also toured with the band in 2022, appearing for their anniversary performance at New York’s Carnegie Hall. I never forget how grateful I am,” Stamos told Today that same year, adding he is happy a new generation of fans discovered the band through his work on Full House.

Casting

As babies, the children were played by Daniel and Kevin Renteria, and in season six, the roles of the twins were succeeded by Blake and Dylan Tuomy-Wilhoit. The last main character added was Steve Hale, who was D.J.'s boyfriend in seasons six and seven. Since 1985 (before Full House), he has performed frequently with the Beach Boys, playing drums, guitar, and occasionally singing along. He appeared in the music video for their song, "Kokomo" (1988). In 1992, John sang lead vocals on their song, "Forever" which he has sung twice on Full House (the first time, during Jesse & Rebecca's wedding; the second time was a recording sung for Jesse's twin sons).

At that moment, Stamos says he had to decide whether he should try to get out of the Friend Zone with Loughlin or pursue something new with Romjin. This is a story that was obviously told to Stamos rather than one he remembers himself, but it kind of embodies his whole ethos. The memoir also details his time on “ER” and “General Hospital,” the dynamics of “Full House” and the romantic relationships that led him to meet his wife — while throwing in a trip to Burning Man with Maura Tierney and Linda Cardellini. Whatever his feelings about "Full House," it made John Stamos a next-level star, and gave him a best friend in co-star Bob Saget. The boy who didn't want to grow up was born in Orange County, California in 1963. John was the first of Bill and Loretta Stamos' three children, and even as a kid, little John seemed destined for the stage.

He asked that the character's last name be Katsopolis to highlight his Greek heritage, according to show creator and executive producer Jeff Franklin. He played one of the show's protagonists, Jesse, who lives with his brother-in-law, Danny, whose deceased wife was Jesse's older sister. Jesse is known to be the "bad boy" at first until he falls in love with and marries Rebecca Donaldson and has twin boys, Nicky and Alex.

Last year the cast was in San Francisco to celebrate the season 2 debut of Fuller House on Netflix. The cast stopped by the Tanner house and put their hands and feet in the cement. A friend of mine visited the house recently and said that the hands and feet prints are not on display outside of the house.

"I wasn’t ready to break down into full tears today but here we are," one person wrote on Instagram. "I felt like I was watching a family home movie. 🥲❤️ This is beautiful. Loved this show and family," a different follower noted. Listening to the audio recording I played you about Bob, I started tearing up. Then, one day, a popular kid punched him in the eye because he’d learned his girlfriend thought Stamos was cute.

The statement was signed by series creator Jeff Franklin and stars Stamos, Coulier, Barber, Sweetin, Cameron Bure, Lori Loughlin, Scott Weinger, and Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. His unexpected death brought grief to the cast, who reflected on his warmth and comedic greatness in a shared statement. "Thirty-five years ago, we came together as a TV family, but we became a real family. And now we grieve as a family," the statement read. "Bob made us laugh until we cried. Now our tears flow in sadness, but also with gratitude for all the beautiful memories of our sweet, kind, hilarious, cherished Bob."

Stamos, who played Jesse Katsopolis on all eight seasons of “Full House,” was filming a scene where his character and Dave Coulier’s Joey change Michelle Tanner’s diaper. The Olsen twins switched off playing Michelle during the show’s run. At his father’s insistence, young Stamos worked for the family’s fast-food eateries. Contrary to the bad-boy image he would later embody, Stamos spent his teen years flipping burgers for the Orange County–based Duke’s and Yellow Basket restaurants, along with playing drums in John F. Kennedy High School’s marching band. Stamos described himself as “the dorky kid” in school; he was interested in magic and often went to the Disneyland theme park only 20 minutes from his home.

Actor and musician John Stamos is best known for his role on the TV sitcom Full House and has toured with The Beach Boys. Some of you know how much I love Full House and now, Fuller House! When I went to San Francisco back in 2009 I had to stop by the Tanner house used on Full House. Remember how they used to show the houses, known as the painted ladies, in the opening credits of the show? Well silly me, I thought that one of those houses was the Tanner house even though none of them looked like it. So I went to Alamo Square and took a picture thinking I was in the right spot.

He executive produced the Netflix series Fuller House, in which he reprised the role of Jesse Katsopolis. He also starred in Never Too Young to Die (1986), Born to Ride (1991) and as Dr. Nicky in the Lifetime/Netflix psychological thriller You. The series was the subject of a TV film in 2015 titled The Unauthorized Full House Story, which aired on Lifetime and provided a dramatized look at the origins and production of the show. John Stamos revealed on the “Good Guys” podcast (via Insider) that he had Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen booted from “Full House” when they were 11 months old as their persistent crying on set drove him crazy. The firing only lasted a couple of days, as the replacement babies for the Olsen twins proved even worse to be around.

It maintains that vintage 1900s feel because of the dark wood cabinetry but the nice upgrades include a white subway tile backsplash, large island that provides plenty of food prep space, and stainless steel appliances.

Historic,

After 1901 the firm began developing the distinctive stylistic elements that finally came together as a cohesive whole in their grand works of 1907–1909. The Greenes developed a personal idiom within the Arts and Crafts aesthetic, receiving commissions to design furnishings for their houses. Charles' sketches for the 1903 Mary Darling house were published in England in Academy Architecture the same year, representing the first foreign publication of the firm's work. In 1893 their parents requested that the sons move to Pasadena, where they had moved a year before. The brothers agreed and, while traveling by train from Boston, they stopped at the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago and saw a few examples of Japanese architecture. This experience made a lasting impression on both of them, according to a late-in-life interview with Henry.

The structure of the house is externalized, or exploded, rather than hidden in decoration. This extravagance of support takes its origins from the elaborate joinery and framing of traditional Japanese architecture. In 1905 the Greenes began an association with Peter Hall as the primary contractor for their major commissions, and from 1907 with his brother John Hall, who ran a millwork shop producing their decorative arts and furniture designs. After MIT in spring 1890, Charles apprenticed first with the firm of Andrews, Jaques and Rantoul; but after four and a half months, moved to the office of R. By March 1891, he had moved again to work with Herbert Langford Warren; and by the following November, he had changed again to the firm of Winslow and Wetherell.

Chinese and Japanese Influences

Active primarily in California, their houses and larger-scale ultimate bungalows are prime exemplars of the American Arts and Crafts Movement. But MAGA Sen. J.D. Vance of Ohio said Democrats “will come to regret” dismissing the Mayorkas impeachment articles, when a Republican-run Senate someday does the same to impeachment articles from a Democratic-majority House. Democrats take governing too earnestly to impeach a Republican on such overtly political grounds as those against Mayorkas. The Gamble House in Pasadena, California, is an outstanding example of American Arts and Crafts style architecture.

There was actually very little Japanese influence upon their work until after Charles visited the 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition in St. Louis. Do note this bedroom is not included in the main house’s total of eight. The property was first owned by a local seamstress named Katherine Duncan who in 1901 purchased the lot, located at 240 North Grand Avenue in Pasadena, and had her cozy foursquare one-story cottage moved to the site from another part of town. Over the next five years, the brothers did a number of renovations and expansions of the house including adding six rooms and a second story.

The house and furnishings were designed by Charles and Henry Greene in 1908 for David and Mary Gamble of the Procter & Gamble Company. The house, which is a National Historic Landmark owned by the City of Pasadena and operated by the University of Southern California, is open for public tours. Two other landmark ultimate bungalows were the Robert R. Blacker House in Pasadena and the Thorsen House. Such ultimate bungalows were completely custom affairs, where the vast majority of elements—light fixtures, furniture, even woven textiles—were created for specific spaces in the home. Window and light panels, almost always consisted of stylized clouds or vines. Birds, trellises, leaves, flowers and berries accented the glass panels.

The other is more interested in aiming for the impossible and then complaining about falling short. For the last few years, congressional Republicans have been split into factions that are not ideological in the traditional sense. Pick nearly any standard domestic policy issue — abortion, gun rights, taxes, immigration — and you won’t see much evidence of the schism. Even (public) support for Donald Trump doesn’t delineate the divide.

Theodore Irwin, who like many other wealthy east-coast families, spent their winters in sunny Pasadena, fell in love with the house during a winter vacation and bought the house from Duncan. Irwin continued to expand the now two-story home into the signature Greene & Greene showstopper it is today. It's where friends and family gather for good food, exciting sporting events, live music, great conversations, and fun. Located in one of the oldest and most distinctive buildings in historic downtown Neenah, Greene’s Pour House is the Golden Fork Award Winner for Best Bar and Grill in the Fox Valley 5 years in a row.

The breakfast room sits just off the kitchen and has easy access to the courtyard. The lovely formal dining room has another fireplace and truly incredible woordwork from the floor to the ceiling. Another living room has another welcoming fireplace, original or made to appear original lighting fixtures, easy outdoor access through several sets of French doors. When a Greene & Greene craftsman hits the market in Pasadena our whole office sort of gets quiet for a moment as we click through the images and check our calendars to make room for a visit.

This Greene & Greene, the Duncan-Irwin House, is one of Charles and Henry Greene’s most iconic homes, right up there with Pasadena’s prized Gamble House (which you can tour and picnic at, by the way). Built in 1906 and superbly restored with just the right amount of stylish modernization in all the right places (see the bathrooms and kitchen, the pool), 240 North Grand Avenue has all the trappings of a seminal Greene & Greene Craftsman masterwork. The menu for Greene's Pour House may have changed since the last user update. Sirved does not guarantee prices or the availability of menu items.

The home is registered on the National Register of Historic Places and benefits from its inclusion on the Mills Act which provides tax breaks and other incentives to own a historic property. The residence now offers, in total, eight flexible bedrooms and bathrooms spread across the main house, garage, and guest house all flanked by decks, terraces, and a pool. It’s a one of a kind home and a once in a lifetime opportunity to own a Greene & Greene designed arts and crafts craftsman. The Gamble House will open the doors to its servants' hall and rooms for the first time in its history. The cloud lift is very prevalent in homes designed by the Greene brothers such as the Blacker House, Ranney House, Thorsen House as well as the Gamble House. The Gamble House being the most prolific example, with cloud lifts on the windows, walls, cabinetry, chairs, doors, fireplace, and even multiple examples in the light fixtures.

Just more evidence that the Biden and Mayorkas impeachment crusades have been purely political exercises. The latest and hopefully final blow to the impeachment follies was delivered Wednesday. Two months after House Republicans made Mayorkas the first Cabinet member to be impeached in nearly 150 years, they finally sent the patently political charges to the Democratic-controlled Senate, which took just three hours to dismiss them.

The standalone guest house has a separate entrance and is perfect for overnight guests, an in-law suite, or even a private office/writer’s retreat. This bedroom has an amazing wood beamed ceiling and outdoor courtyard access. One of the most iconic and well-known features of the design is the two-story central courtyard with a water feature that opens to a mezzanine above. The courtyard provides the rest of the home with ample natural light. It’s a lovely spot for entertaining in a home that has many spots to entertain. Needless to say, original hardwood floors can be found throughout the house.

The house has a total of six (six!) fireplaces including this original brick fireplace in one of the home’s living rooms. By the time the Gamble House (1908) was built, the Greenes’ magnificent front door included a Pasadena oak tree, but abstracted to such a degree that the tree’s leaves are gingko leaves instead of oak leaves. The Gamble House front door is an excellent example of the organic shapes made possible with the cooper-foil technique of Tiffany and the use of layered glass. The door features iridescent glass on interior surfaces layered with opalescent glass on the exterior surfaces. McCarthy’s successor, Johnson, brought four bills to the House floor Saturday — three to provide vital military aid to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan, and one to force a Chinese company to sell TikTok or cease operating in the United States. The bills passed overwhelmingly, with all but the Ukraine bill winning a majority of Republicans’ votes.

First, few Republicans — including some who oppose Johnson — want to be seen following the lead of the House’s most notorious cranks and bigots. Second, Trump doesn’t want the Republican caucus to turn into an embarrassing circular firing squad while he is running for president. (It’s remarkable that Trump is worried that other Republicans will make him look bad.) Third, Democrats have signaled that they will help Johnson keep his job after he courageously did the right thing. And finally, no one appears to want Johnson’s job who could also get the job. In other words, the Republican firebrands, who think the worst sin imaginable is to work with Democrats, voted with Democrats to oust their leader. House Republicans have all but folded the Big Top on the Biden impeachment circus.

He would stay there until the two brothers departed to join their parents in Pasadena, California. Henry apprenticed first with the firm of Chamberlin & Austin and then briefly went to work with Shepley, Rutan and Coolidge. All the firms the brothers worked for were located in Boston, Massachusetts.

All were all impressionistic representations, while Wright’s glass design elements were crisp and precise. Never mind that Senate Republicans let the former president off the hook each time. The firm of Greene & Greene was officially dissolved in 1922 after Charles moved his family north to Carmel-by-the-Sea, California in 1916, at age 48.[10] Henry remained in Pasadena, doing architecture projects on his own.

To become speaker last year, Kevin McCarthy agreed to a change in the rules that makes it possible for a single representative to move to “vacate the chair” — that is, trigger a vote on whether to depose the speaker. That’s what happened last year after McCarthy avoided a default on the national debt, kept the government open and committed other alleged outrages. No, the difference is largely over tactics, rhetoric and psychology. One faction, comprising an overwhelming majority of the House GOP caucus, is interested in accomplishing the possible.

Historic,

It’s an amazing example of their craftsmanship and design eye; the scale is quite large – roughly 9′ high by 10′ wide. The entry shows off the influence their contemporaries had on their work as well, from the copper-foil technique of Tiffany that allowed for organic shapes and the abstracted natural elements from Wright. The Greenes were truly suited for the Gamble House project, perfectly timed as their careers had matured, yet they remained open and interested in the art of others to bring their best to bear on this historical project. As teenagers, the brothers studied at the Manual Training School of Washington University in St. Louis, where they studied metal- and woodworking and graduated in 1887–1888.

Their father, a practicing homeopathic physician by this time, was very concerned with the need for sunlight and circulating fresh air; the importance of these elements was to become one of the signatures of the brothers' work. Charles and Henry each received a "certificate for completion of partial course", a special two-year program at MIT's School of Architecture, in 1891. They studied classical building styles, intending at that time only to gain certification for apprenticeships with architecture and construction firms upon graduation. Greene and Greene was an architectural firm established by brothers Charles Sumner Greene (1868–1957) and Henry Mather Greene (January 23, 1870 – October 2, 1954), influential early 20th Century American architects.

This Greene & Greene, the Duncan-Irwin House, is one of Charles and Henry Greene’s most iconic homes, right up there with Pasadena’s prized Gamble House (which you can tour and picnic at, by the way). Built in 1906 and superbly restored with just the right amount of stylish modernization in all the right places (see the bathrooms and kitchen, the pool), 240 North Grand Avenue has all the trappings of a seminal Greene & Greene Craftsman masterwork.

Many months after opening an inquiry oddly based on nothing more than to-be-determined charges, Republicans have no hard evidence of an impeachable offense by the president. And, consequently, they don’t have enough Republican support to proceed. Jackie Calmes brings a critical eye to the national political scene. She has decades of experience covering the White House and Congress. The structure of the Greene & Greene house is essential not only to the immense feeling of security that such an overly-supported structure brings, but also accentuates the importance of the Arts and Crafts fundamentals in the Greene & Greene style. The visual importance of the aesthetic nature of the joints, pegs, and complex wood-work symbolizes the structure of the house, and coincides with the principles taught in the Manual Training School of their youth.

The Senate found that the two charges — that he “willfully and systemically refused to comply with Federal immigration laws” and breached the public trust — didn’t clear the Constitution’s high bar. Charles Sumner and Henry Mather Greene were born in Brighton, Ohio, in 1868 and 1870, respectively.[1] They grew up primarily in St. Louis, Missouri, and on their mother's family farm in West Virginia while their father attended medical school.

An ethereal oceanfront ceremony sets a precedent for events that evoke both nostalgia and wonder for all that lies ahead. In the new Atlantic Ballroom, expansive panoramic windows reveal unobstructed views of the Atlantic, while enchanting fireplaces and fire pits bring warmth and gathering in our more intimate spaces. Kaua‘i, also known as Hawaii’s Garden Isle, brims with lush, dramatic scenery—the cliffs of the Nā Pali Coast even set the stage for Jurassic Park. On the sunny South Shore of the island sits Poʻipū Beach, a gorgeous trio of golden crescents that’s popular among families. From swimming and snorkeling in the natural, shallow tidal pools to boogie boarding and surf lessons for beginners, there’s no shortage of ways to fill a day. Inspired to explore the world after a college choir tour in Europe, I've lived abroad three times, visited nearly 30 countries, worked at Walt Disney World and for an educational travel company.

The Cliff House soon became the preferred resort of the most refined families of the time, including the Biddles of Philadelphia, the Havermeyers of New York, and the Cabots and Lodges of Boston.

Exciting Travel Toys For Young Kids That Will Keep Them Entertained The Whole Trip

Its reputation spread across the Atlantic, attracting guests from as far away as England and continental Europe. During this genteel age, guests entertained themselves with card parties, croquet, and horseshoe pitching. The Cliff House was a peaceful Maine retreat, rich with verdant lawns, wild roses, and suspended between an enormous expanse of sky and the ever-changing sea. Not all beaches are on the ocean, and Platte River Point Beach, part of Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, is proof of that. Anyone familiar with popular Michigan travel destinations has likely heard of this scenic spot in the Wolverine State. In the summertime, it hums with daytrippers who go to kayak, stand-up paddleboard, tube and swim in the shallow water, roast marshmallows around the campfire and pose for photos in front of the dunes.

In terms of amenities, restrooms and showers by the parking lot up the convenience factor. The Garden State encompasses 141 miles of Atlantic Ocean real estate—none more iconic or family-friendly than Cape May Beach, which runs parallel to Beach Avenue for 2.5 miles.

Lifeguards patrol the beach from July 1 through Labor Day, and beach badges are required for beachgoers ages 12 and up from Memorial Day Weekend through Labor Day.

It’s the perfect place to immerse yourself in Maine scenery and activities with great places to visit, like Ogunquit, York, Cape Neddick, and other seaport towns. Then visit The Cove Bar and Grille in the evenings for refreshing drinks, to munch on appetizers, and relax by the hotel hot tub and pool. Here’s why I think this makes a great destination for families, as well as the many amenities the hotel offers, and a little more about this historic location. In summer months, join us on The Terrace for fresh tastes and refreshing sips under the sun. There is no better way to enjoy the bounties of our Maine waters than while taking in unparalleled views of the great Atlantic. Enjoy a local gourmet brew by Bard Coffee to accompany the morning sunrise by our signature firepit terrace.

So important was this installation on Bald Head Cliff that the Weare Family was barred from their own land. A trip to Cape Cod is a time-honored summer right of passage for New Englanders. Families flock to popular Paine's Creek Beach, a halcyon inlet hangout for building sandcastles (just remember to bring shovels and buckets) and swimming. The small tidal pools here are particularly well suited for tots, while older children can try skimboarding on the flats. There’s even a natural lazy river for tubing, and the little ones (and parents, too) are sure to enjoy the ice cream truck that comes by in the summer to dole out sweet treats. And, of course, there are typical family-friendly activities like trips to the candy store in Perkins Cove, mini-golf, museum visits, shops, and more.

I went for a weekend in September, and suddenly understood why people tend to become loyalists after just a few days. From entering the lobby to seeing the gorgeous views from the expansive windows by the staircase it was beautiful. There were comfortable places to sit and enjoy the views of the ocean and cliffs and also musical entertainment in the evening.

Located minutes from Ogunquit’s sandy beach and just over an hour north of Boston, Cliff House Maine stretches across 70 oceanfront acres, 90' above sea level perched atop Bald Head Cliff. Year-round guests are mesmerized by views of the sunrise over an infinite horizon, expansive stretches of rugged coastline and beloved historic landmarks such as Nubble Lighthouse. Of course, as its name suggests, when you visit Cliff House Maine for a family vacation, you’ll encounter breathtaking cliffs overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Located in Cape Neddick, the property spans around 70 acres and is perfect for a tranquil family vacation. Picturesque vistas abound throughout the grounds, where you very much SHOULD carve out time in your day to just sit, with a coffee or glass of wine in hand, and appreciate the beautiful scenery. Luckily, the resort’s amenities match those iconic views as well, which we’ll get into later in this Cliff House Maine review for families.

Not far is the town of Ogunquit, and there are traditional sand beaches there, as well as in nearby York Beach. Enjoy Plein Air Painting (painting outside), group and couples classes, and private art courses. Also, there is a Paint a Memory Class that is perfect for people of all ages to enjoy as the onsite artist walks you step-by-step through the process. There are many reasons we think the Cliff House is perfect for families with kids of all ages, but here are my top 10.

Unearthing Legends: The Pirates’ House, 1753 – Savannah’s Seafaring Tale

Amidst the cobblestone streets of Savannah’s historic district, there’s a place where legends of swashbuckling pirates come to life – The Pirates’ House. The Pirates’ House sits on the site of the Trustees’ Garden, an experimental garden set up by James Oglethorpe in 1733, four months after arriving in Savannah. The gardener’s house, called the Herb House, was established on the spot. Built in 1734, The Herb House originally housed the gardener for the Trustees’ Garden and is considered the oldest standing building in Georgia.

By 1754, there was no more need for the garden, so the Herb House was expanded into an inn, just as Savannah was evolving into a port town. The inn and tavern had a seedy reputation and was a popular with seamen (and supposedly pirates), thus inspiring many rumors and stories throughout the years. Many believe that the inn in question was actually the Pirates’ House and that Stevenson was inspired to use it as a location after visiting Savannah. To prove the point, several rare early edition pages of “Treasure Island” are hanging on the wall of the Treasure Room at the Pirates’ House restaurant.

The Pirates’ House isn’t just a restaurant; it’s a captivating chapter in Savannah’s maritime history.

In a city known for its historical treasures, The Pirates’ House stands as a maritime gem, inviting visitors to embark on a culinary voyage like no other.

The menu is a delightful blend of traditional Southern dishes and seafood specialties. Favorites include the honey pecan fried chicken, shrimp and grits, and the legendary she-crab soup.

The establishment also offers a vast selection of rums, paying homage to its pirate legacy. Savannah’s Famous Pirates’ House is located on one of the most historic spots in Georgia. It is here that Trustee’s Garden, the first public agricultural experimental garden in America, was located. Around 1753, when Georgia had become firmly established and the need for the experimental garden no longer existed, the site was developed as a residential section. Since Savannah had become a thriving seaport town, one of the first buildings constructed on the former garden site was naturally an inn for visiting sailors.

The History of The Pirates’ House

A lot has changed since those wild days but you can still enjoy authentic Georgia cuisine at The Pirates’ House. Visitors come from around the world to enjoy a delicious meal or drinks at the historic restaurant and tavern while imagining life back in the 18th century.

McMillan Inn

Established in 1753, The Pirate’s House is one of the oldest structures in Georgia. Originally built as an inn for sailors, it quickly gained a reputation as a rendezvous for pirates and seafarers. Tales of buried treasures, secret tunnels leading to the Savannah River, and ghostly apparitions have only added to its allure over the centuries. The very beams and bricks of the building seem to whisper secrets of swashbuckling adventures, clandestine meetings, and tales of the high seas.

Whether you’re local or visiting the Hostess City, let us help you make your event an experience to remember. McMillan Inn’s location in Savannah’s downtown historic district puts our guests within easy distance of many of the city’s most popular attractions. The Herb House was built on a ten-acre plot of land located on the east side of James Oglethorpe's original plan of the city of Savannah. The plot of land was assigned to become a botanical garden that modeled the Chelsea Botanical Garden in London, England. The garden, which was located beyond the bounds of today's buildings,[4] was dedicated to Oglethorpe's trustees, becoming known as the Trustees' Garden.

By 1754, there was no more need for the garden, so the Herb House was expanded into an inn, just as Savannah was evolving into a port town. The inn and tavern had a seedy reputation and was a popular with seamen (and supposedly pirates), thus inspiring many rumors and stories throughout the years. Many believe that the inn in question was actually the Pirates’ House and that Stevenson was inspired to use it as a location after visiting Savannah. To prove the point, several rare early edition pages of “Treasure Island” are hanging on the wall of the Treasure Room at the Pirates’ House restaurant.

By 1945, the Pirates’ House was becoming rather dilapidated after two centuries of use. The inn almost came to an end when it was slated for destruction by the Savannah Gas Company. Fortunately, Mary Hillyer, wife of Savannah Gas Company president Hansell Hillyer stepped in, and with the help of other local women, renovated the building and area. Savannah’s strong-willed ladies seem to be responsible for saving much of the city’s history.

The Pirate’s House, with its rich maritime history, is undeniably a crown jewel in Savannah’s historic district. However, the city itself is a treasure trove of experiences waiting to be explored. From architectural marvels and historic landmarks to culinary delights and serene parks, Savannah offers a diverse range of attractions that cater to every kind of traveler.
