Travel + 5 Kids + Real Life
Reading Time: 19 minutesWhat kid hasn’t seen the Great Pyramids of Egypt in a film or heard about them at school? Our current culture obsesses over Egypt, and for good reason! It’s an amazing location. In fact, the pyramids are the last of the ancient world’s wonders. Every traveler aspires to visit these […]
Reading Time: 16 minutesAre we big hikers? Not really. Are we in great shape? No, but we are fairly active. Did we successfully hike Mt. Fuji in Japan? Yes! You also can summit Japan’s highest mountain (3,776m or 12,388 feet). While preparation is key, you don’t need to train for months or be […]
Reading Time: 9 minutesHave you ever brought in the New Year in a famous place? My husband, Chris, has talked for years about what it would be like to ring in a new year at the New York City ball drop or on the streets of the Champs-Élysées in Paris. However, we’ve always […]
Reading Time: 11 minutesSeeing pandas in real life is definitely a bucket list experience when traveling in China with kids. I distinctly remember watching a Disney Panda documentary in California as we were full-time traveling but still had not yet ventured to Asia. I told the kids we’d be seeing those magnificent creatures […]
Reading Time: 12 minutesImagine walking onto any ride at Disney World, riding however many times you want, all while having your own personal Disney Guide. Magical is just the beginning! We’ve now done two Disney VIP Tours, and the resounding review is that they are tons of fun, incredibly cool, and a once-in-a-lifetime […]
Reading Time: 14 minutesFor those wanting to visit Greece and enjoy the beautiful, ancient islands of the world, taking a family can present some challenges. Each Greek island, of which there are hundreds, sits a considerable distance from its neighbors. For example, a ferry ride from Athens to Santorini can last 10 hours […]
Reading Time: 11 minutesIt’s official… we really love France. Having just completed our fifth trip there, I have to say I experience a weirdly comforting feeling when in France, almost like coming home. Perhaps it’s the climate, which feels similar to my native Colorado (or at least the mountains of Colorado), or just […]
Reading Time: 9 minutesAre you dreaming of a European adventure but want the flexibility of your own wheels for an extended stay? We’ve been there! We thought we needed a long-term car rental. However, it turned out that a short-term car lease in Europe was a better fit. With this solution, we were […]
Reading Time: 10 minutesWe visited Singapore with our five kids in 2019 and fell in love with this amazing city! Though not as large as other Asian countries and often used as a layover, Singapore has much to boast. In fact, we often say Singapore would be our home base if we were […]
Reading Time: 6 minutesParis, often referred to as the City of Love, offers more than just romance; it’s also a perfect destination for a family adventure. We tried a memorable experience that combines fun and learning: learning to make macarons in Paris with our kids! This delightful culinary journey not only satisfied our […]
