A Weekend in Gothenburg, Sweden

The boys had a day off of school in mid-October, and in my trip planning frenzy and desire to take advantage of nice fall weather, we ended up with about 10 days in Sweden and Denmark.  The first thing we Read more…

A Day Trip to Tangiers, Morocco

  Did you know the closest foreign country to us here in southern Spain is actually Morocco?  Though we can’t quite see Morocco from where we are located, if we drive a few hours west, we get to the point Read more…

Traveling across Europe on a Car Ferry (plus a birthday in “no country”)

In late August, after many hours and kilometers on the road during our European Road Trip, we found ourselves in South Eastern Europe, far from our home in Southern Spain.  Rather than make poor C drive us all the way Read more…

Visiting Mostar in Bosnia & Herzegovina

Mostar, a small but historic city in the Herzegovina region of Bosnia & Herzegovina, totally charmed me.  Even though the summer days we spent there were scorching hot, we loved exploring this mix of beautiful buildings, cobblestone lanes and poignant Read more…

A few days in Dubrovnik, Croatia

I was a bit nervous about heading to Dubrovnik in the summer. I had heard it was an amazingly stunning town – the “Pearl of the Adriatic”.  But all the buzz on the town and mention of crowds had me Read more…

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
