Most of our time is spent camping, hiking and biking in state and national parks, but we regularly stay in or near large cities on our travels. When we do, one of the activities that we, especially the kids, enjoy is spending a day at a children’s museum. Today, I’m writing this post from the […]
My Love/Hate Relationship: Hiking with Young Kids
Small hikes with our kids are great. Anything under 3 miles is usually a doable morning activity. Sometimes, we’ll let them both walk and just spend the whole morning doing only a 3 mile trail. This is wonderful. Wonderful in that we’re teaching them to love hiking. Wonderful in that they’re getting exercise and enjoying […]
We Got a Pet!
Did I tell you the big news? We got a pet! If you know Mark and me this is a huge shock to you. To say we’re not animal lovers is to put it mildly. In fact if someone were to say “You have to choose between raising another kid or a dog?” I think […]
Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo
I’ve shared about Jane’s obsession with the Lion King. But my sweet Wilson. Do you want to know who his favorite Disney character is? Yup! The Fairy Godmother from Cinderella. I know. You’re scratching your head. Why on earth does he like the Fairy Godmother? What about Lightning McQueen? What about Peter Pan? What about […]
A Vacation From Full-Time Travel in San Francisco
Traveling full time is so different than a vacation. Anyone who’s ever tried to go anywhere with young children knows that most of the time trips are work. They are not a vacation. Traveling full-time is a lot of work, and sometimes we need to break up the work of day-to-day travel with a little […]
Cheers, to 7 Years!
Today is Mark and my 7th wedding anniversary. It celebrates the day we made two of the best decisions of our lives. The first was choosing each other as a partner in this life together. The second was having a wedding with only the small group of people above. I still remember trying to explain […]
I’m in Love with the Pacific Northwest
Guys. Maybe it’s because I’m currently in the Nevada desert, but I am missing the Pacific Northwest. Sure, the desert is a must see, but for anything longer than a few days, I’d gladly pass. The Pacific Northwest is where you want to spend your summer. I’m just saying. Not Portland or Seattle but the […]
We Were Totally Robbed, Yall.
I’m of the belief that the overwhelming majority of people in the world are well intentioned and kind. On my various adventures, I’ve been on the receiving end of amazing acts of kindness from strangers. When I’ve been in need, all but a few of the strangers that I’ve met have been willing to help, […]
Sleep. Glorious Sleep.
We’ve talked in the past about the challenges of a family of four sleeping in an RV and early mornings with Wilson, and it seems we’re finally adapting after six months in the trailer. Mark and I have mentioned to each other several times recently how amazing the sleep is that we’ve been getting on […]
Campground Scavenger Hunt
My friends sent me an awesome care package a while back. Some of the items they sent I have saved for when we really needed them. One afternoon in Olympic National Park Wilson refused to nap. Jane was cranky. We had exhausted most of what the park had to offer that was within our abilities. I […]
