Overpriced, cookie-cutter hotels aren’t your thing. Especially when traveling with the kids. Which is why you need to add the Pirate Haus Inn in St. Augustine to your list of affordable, family-friendly places to visit.

My family stayed in the quirky pirate-themed hostel with private rooms after the Yo Gabba Gabba concert in Jacksonville. Not only are the rooms cheap (and include an all-you-can-eat pirate pancake breakfast), but the place is centrally-located smack dab in the middle of St. Augustine’s Historic District.

Chances are the inn’s communal kitchen, transom windows and high-ceiling hallway will remind you of your college dorm or the youth hostels you stayed in while back-packing around Europe. In other words, this ain’t your posh Westin. But it is the type of place your kids will love.

Here are the Top 10 Reasons Why Your Kids Will Never Forget the Pirate Haus:

1. Owner is a charming character called Captain Conrad, who is known to periodically don pirate-costumes and engage kids in pirate talk and occasional pretend sword fights. 

2. At check-in, kids are given a stack of age-appropriate pirate bedtime stories to take to their bunk beds.

3. That’s right. We said bunk beds. Kids sleep in bunk beds. Get ready to hear “I call top bunk! the minute you open the room door.

4. Communal TV/computer room is teeming with pirate-themed toys for the tots.

5. Free, all-you-can pirate-themed pancakes for breakfast overlooking St. Augustine Historic district.

6.  Just a short stroll to Castillo de San Marcos National Monument (cannon firings), the Black Raven (an authentic pirate ship in St. Augustine) and Project SWING (a city park with a 23,000-square-foot wooden playground featuring a castle, pirate ship, lighthouse, space shuttle) as well as oodles of restaurants and other kid-friendly attractions.

7. Pirates bedeck everything in this place from the stairwell to the shower curtains. The walls are painted with sails, ships, crows nests and more.

8. It’s the perfect place to stay when in town to visit the St. Augustine Pirate & Treasure Museum, expected to open later this year, or during any of St. Augustine’s pirate-themed events including the upcoming St. Augustine Pirate Gathering (Nov. 12-14) which will feature blackpowder demos, historical re-enactments, a vendor marketplace and more.

9. Even Disney liked the Pirate Haus, as it was mentioned in Disney’s Family Fun Magazine.

10. While this may not matter to the kids,  rooms also come with free wi-fi and start at $50, which makes mom and dad very happy.

If you haven’t taken your kids to a show at  The Savannah Children’s Theatre, then y’all are missing out on one of our local treasures.

Just returned from seeing Sarah Plain and Tall, the Newberry Medal winning story of a widowed farmer, his children and the charming woman who would change their lives forever. It was an engaging and refreshingly simple production – with local talented children playing all the roles. My 3-year-old son talked non-stop about the show the whole way home. 

This is the third production we’ve seen at this amazing theatre at the Crossroads Shopping Center, 2160 E. Victory Drive and all have been hits. While Sarah Plain and Tall isn’t one of the theatre’s typical razzle-dazzle productions with lots of dancing and singing, the roughly 90 minute show has just enough to hold young children’s attention. And it would definitely be a winner with older children.

Shows are  3 PM Sat. and Sun. Oct. 23 and Oct. 24. Tickets $10-$12. 238-9014.

Coming soon to The Savannah Children’s Theatre: a holiday musical production of Scooge and, in January, a Main Stage musical production of Cinderella. Can’t wait!

Ms. Amy’s School of Music in Savannah has early childhood music education classes that start the first week of November on Wednesday and Saturday mornings. Ms Amy will be teaching the following mommy and me music classes: 9:00-9:45 (6 – 18 months) 10:00-10:45 (18 months – 3 years) 11:00-11:45 (3 – 5 years). Class descriptions are as follows.

Mommy and Me Music (ages 6 -18 mos.)
This class enhances musical growth in a playful and developmentally appropriate atmosphere. Babies feel, hear, and see different musical instruments while parents and caregivers learn activities and songs to promote their childs musical beginnings.

Mommy and Me Music (ages 18 mos. – 3 years)
A joyful first music experience where children, siblings, and parents will share in a music making program of rhythms, active movement games and singing. A nurturing environment where an energetic connection is drawn between music and imagination. Meet others and learn some fascinating music activities you can re-create at home.

Mommy and Me Music (ages 4 – 5 years)
An artistically conceived flow of songs, nursery rhymes, instrumental jam sessions and movement activities will keep your little music maker involved. This class is designed to support children’s development of competence in tonality and rhythm.

Ms. Amy’s School of Music in Savannah  also has openings available for private students. Lesson options are as follows:

Music Discovery Lessons (ages 3 – 5 years)
This is a private half hour lesson for both parent(s) and student to attend. It’s for the parent who wants their child to eventually play piano or guitar. Little fingers are not that strong, so I have designed these lessons to give children the basis needed to begin and instrument at a younger age than normal.

Piano, Beginner Guitar, Voice, Brass, and Woodwind Lessons (ages 3 – 100 years)
This is a private half hour lesson. Every student is different and each lesson is directed, through materials and activities, to meet each student’s needs and goals.

Theory Lessons
These lessons are for the musician who knows how to play already and wants to learn to read music and widen their understanding of music theory.
