Travel + 5 Kids + Real Life
Reading Time: 4 minutes I think our time in Pacifica can be summed up in two words: cold and damp. That’s how we feel about it when we talk about our time there. That’s a little harsh, but I think it was so much different than we expected it to be. We apparently picked […]
Reading Time: 2 minutes This was, sadly, the only children’s museum we made it to. I love children’s museums and I would have loved to explore more. However, we ended up spending a lot of time at the skate park. Lucy got a new scooter at the beginning of the month and wanted to […]
Reading Time: 3 minutes My mom came for a short visit at the beginning of our stay in Portland and together, with two of the boys, we ventured to the Pittock Mansion. In my efforts to not use the car, we took the bus. This required a pretty steep hike up the hill to […]
Reading Time: 3 minutes We took a venture down to the Zoo (all by public transportation- so easy and cool) on a perfect Saturday evening. It was beautiful and classic Portland as I came to see it. The Zoo has an amazing forest all around, so it feels semi-secluded in parts. I loved this. […]
Reading Time: 3 minutes One of our first “field trips” was to follow the advice of our Air BnB owner and visit the Tillamook Creamery. It is about a 1.5 hr drive through beautiful scenery. The facility was very well done (I’ve been told it was just recently remodeled) and has a self-guided tour. […]
Reading Time: 3 minutes We arrived in Portland just three days before July 4th, so we didn’t have a ton of time to plan our celebrations. We ended up taking an Uber to the Oaks Amusement Park after reading a few reviews online. Overall, we enjoyed coming here. It had a good variety of […]
Reading Time: 4 minutes We are in Portland! What brings us to Portland? Well, honestly, the food. Redbeard and I visited here in 2017 and frankly just fell in love. We loved the food and the city vibe and thought this is a potential place we could live. We made it our first stop. […]
Reading Time: 3 minutes The Broadmoor Resort in Colorado Springs is a destination all in itself. It is one of the most stunning properties that is on our travel list and we love it for many reasons. The quality of furnishings, the beauty of the hotel and resort, the quality of the food… it […]
Reading Time: 3 minutes If you don’t know already, we are foodies. We are getting more and more adventurous and overall, LOVE food. Like most people, travel for us rotates a great deal around the food! In fact, our next destination, Portland, OR, is a destination because of the food. We found it on a list of the […]
Reading Time: 4 minutes If you haven’t heard of a Colorado 14er, you haven’t been in Colorado much. Most people that grew up there or have lived there for a few summers have heard of these peaks that exceed 14,000 feet in elevation. They are popular to hike and become somewhat of a “bucket […]
