Brazil

World-Class Waterfalls in Iguassu, Brazil

We knew we’d come crashing down to earth after our stay in Rio, which came complete with nice hotel and chocolates on the pillow. What we didn’t know, however, was quite how hard that CRASH back into reality would be… With heavy heart and heavy luggage, we dragged ourselves away Read more…

Football, Food and Fun in Rio – Part 3 (Fun)

We really weren’t reaching for an alliterative title here – Rio was fun. The city was fun and happening, the people were always having fun and we all had fun too. More on the fun later, however, first we had work to do! We had to bag our fifth modern Read more…

Football, Food and Fun in Rio – Part 2 (Food)

One of our main activities in Rio was an Eat Rio food tour. While the tour was expensive, it was good for three reasons: First, the food! We sampled a variety of food from various places that we had never tried before and most likely would never have otherwise tried. Read more…

Football, Food and Fun in Rio – Part 1 (Football)

During our two-day travel lull in Cusco, we thought it would be a good idea to have a ‘vacation’ halfway through our ‘traveling’. (We know, we know, don’t judge us!) Rio would be that vacation. We found a nice, though somewhat pricey, hotel right on Copacabana beach, took a deep Read more…

Heading to the Atlantic – A week in Paraty, Brazil

We hadn’t originally planned to go to Brazil at all on this trip, but a few weeks ago a couple of things happened: First, we realized we might never be back to South America. No offense to an entire continent, but we were doing some really awesome adventures and at Read more…

Check out what we are up to right now on Instagram:
We have taken the boys on longer 1:1 trips before We have taken the boys on longer 1:1 trips before they get to high school. He decided he wanted to go to see orangutan in Sumatra. So that is where we went! It was a tough trek but an amazing experience - including spotting a few orangutan in the wild. #travelwithkids #sumatra #orangutan
Nothing exciting to say about this - having fun wi Nothing exciting to say about this - having fun with the kids and seeing cool things en route to other places. Good times.
He got to pick where he wanted to go for this trip He got to pick where he wanted to go for this trip. Back to Galapagos (he doesn’t remember it well from when we were there 5 years ago) but this time they went to Isabela island, and it by far surpassed anything we saw before. He might as well stop snorkeling now, cause I don’t think this will be beaten.
Summer trip to Southern Africa. In addition to lot Summer trip to Southern Africa. In addition to lots of amazing animal sightings on safari, we couldn’t miss seeing Victoria Falls (from both the Zambia and Zimbabwe sides). Though to be be honest, it was a bit hard to see anything much of the time with so much water spraying everywhere! #victoriafalls #victoriafallszimbabwe #mosioatunya #thesmokethatthunders #travelwithkids #familytravel #zimbabwetravel
We took a short trip during the kids spring break. We took a short trip during the kids spring break. We have traveled with the kids a lot as they grew up but it is getting harder as the kids get older. They just don’t want to go anywhere. We are trying to compromise and take fewer, shorter and/or cooler trips. The teenager is hard to impress though. Hoping once he is a young adult and broke and on his own, he will come back to wanting to travel with us for the free trips 😝. Until then, we will try to give him more input on where and when we go. #sanfrancisco #travelwithkids #travelwithteens
The (literal) heights I will go to impress my trav The (literal) heights I will go to impress my travel weary young teen who has “been there, done that” for most of our travels these days. We are the middle row. #travelwithkids #travelingwithteens #familytravel #rotorua #newzealand
Wrapping up another summer trip to Scotland. We lo Wrapping up another summer trip to Scotland. We love the cool weather, long days of sunlight, fresh air and green fields when we visit Scotland in the summer. I love that the kids get this time with family and I know they will grow up and have great memories of their visits here. As we head back to hot, humid and uncomfortable summer in the US Deep South, we will look forward to next summer! #scotland #travelwithkids
While we were in Scotland this summer, I decided t While we were in Scotland this summer, I decided to book one quick little side trip, so did some research to find a good, easy destination to take one kid for a few days. Tallin, Estonia was not really a place I’d given much thought to, but I’m glad this was the place we ended up. Absolutely beautiful old town, easy to walk around, good food and an interesting history.  Also loved having just one of the kids with me - we had a lot of fun together and he was a lot more willing to hang out with me when it was just the two of us somewhere new and exciting. Plus, wow it is much easier to get a table at a restaurant for 2 people than it is for 5! #travelwithkids #estonia #tallinn #familytravel
