    A Family and Fairy Friendly Stay at the Isle of Skye’s Uig Hotel and Lodge

    July 8, 2018 /

    We had been on a fairy hunt. And we were gearing up for another one the next morning. The hunt itself was intense. There were twisted ankles and muddy feet. We battled steep stoney hikes and hopping from slick stone to slick stone on rain-soaked rocks. We navigated tiny roads and the occasional cliff. We got lost. We got found. And then, just as dusk was rolling in, we spotted our hotel, Uig Hotel and Lodge, white and welcoming in the distance.   Location Uig Hotel and Lodge is located in the northern portion of Scotland’s Isle of Skye on a hill overlooking Uig Bay, and this is the first…

    Disney with a Newborn: Tips for What to Pack for the Park and How to Pack It

    June 15, 2018 /

    Life with a new baby: those sweet smells, those itty bitty squeaks, those snuggles in the crook of your neck. It’s like being in a cocoon those first few months. A cocoon of newness and naps and a lost sense of time. And a cocoon of diaper bags and back packs and extra clothes and too many things that rattle. It’s bringing a pouch filled with pacifiers, one more blanket, and an extra extra pair of socks. It’s stuff you need and a whole lot of stuff you really don’t. And that’s where going to Disney with a newborn gets a little rough: balancing being prepared with being burdened by…

    Why a Road Trip Around Sicily Should be on Your Family Travel Bucket List

    May 22, 2018 /

    There are so many reasons to go on a road trip around Sicily with your little people. So, don’t be like us. Don’t go on a road trip around Sicily by accident. (Or do be like us and do it by accident. Who cares how you land there, just as long as you do it.) I’m not always really sure how we pick where it is we end up traveling to. Some times it depends on a certain climate we want, coupled with an available flight. Other times it might be that the length of time we have is what dictates where we go. And then there are still those…

    Our Ten Day Itinerary for Traveling Sicily with Kids (the Good and the Not as Good Choices)

    May 2, 2018 /

    We were prepared for this trip. Sort of. I had read and researched what to do in Sicily with kids. Again and again. I had bought books (which admittedly collected some dust on them until about a week or so before we left (I mean I am a mother of three little people; I gave up reading a long time ago (like almost seven years ago))). Still, we had a general idea of what we wanted to do, some suggestions if you will, culled from here and there, but nothing sealed in stone. Part of the reason we were trying to be fluid is we wanted our little people to…

    Hotel Review: Hyatt Regency Savannah, GA: Child Accommodating

    February 26, 2018 /

    This travel tribe doesn’t take lightly to picking out hotels, and it took us some time to settle on the Hyatt Regency Savannah. We know what it is we need, and at this stage in our travel game, we know after a long day driving, it’s two separate rooms for ourselves and our children, whether it be in the form of two connecting rooms or a suite with a separate bedroom. (If that’s not possible, check here for some tips on sharing a hotel room with your little people.) So, when we’re booking our hotel stops for our road trips up and down the Eastern Coast of the US, we…

    Three Kids and an…Italian Doctor (a Tale of Traveling with Sick Kids)

    February 12, 2018 /

    The moment our pediatrician saw the bottle, her eyes widened. “Just throw it away” she hastily replied as she swept her hand through the air. “I have no idea what that is, but you shouldn’t keep it,” she scolded. It had been hot in Italy that summer, but I can’t say we didn’t expect it. In fact, we had planned for it. It’s sort of what you have to do when you’re the proud mother of a child who is basically a tiny, squishy, sweaty oven. On a good day. Anyway, I had spent days researching and locating baby-safe sunscreen that didn’t leave a thick layer of butter on her…

    Five Things I Wish I had Realized Before Visiting Scotland with Kids

    January 19, 2018 /

    We had a whirlwind seven days spinning around Scotland with kids, which, I think, officially makes us experts. Not true. Not at all. The only thing that it taught us, like really really taught us, is that we need to dedicate a lot more time to this little nation that has so much to offer beyond kilts and bagpipes, haggis and Scotch. We cruised through farmlands, hills, mountains, and cities. Found islands and shorelines. We made our home in city apartments, mountain resorts, and small village inns. And in all of that movement and in each nook and cranny we crawled into, we met amazing people, ate food rich in…

    Our Top Ten Family Travel Moments of 2017

    January 2, 2018 /

    2017 has been good to us. We’ve managed to meet some of our favorite characters, see the places where fairies live, hunt for mysterious monsters, take a surprise balloon-filled bubble bath, eat ice cream in a cow field, make friends with pandas, and have sand whip our faces as we bump over giant dunes. But of all the things we’ve seen and done this year, what’ve been the top moments of family travel for us? Moments we just can’t forget? It was hard. And I think that if we revisited this question in a week, we may all come up with different answers. But here’s where it stands today, in…

    The Smithsonian National Zoo: Why It Should Be a Stop on your Washington DC Family Vacation

    December 19, 2017 /

    There is never a time when we go to Washington D.C. that we don’t end up going to the Smithsonian National Zoo. Some times it’s the outing we plan for a day, walking the zoo and learning about the animals. Other times, we may just be swinging by the zoo to say “Hi” to some of our favorite furry (or scaly) friends. There are so many reasons to visit this zoo, whether you’re a repeat customer like us or just happen to have some free time while you’re taking in the city on a “one and only” visit. No matter why you’re here though, the National Zoo should be on…

They say it's all in what you do in the off season They say it's all in what you do in the off season. Travel tip for kids? Bring the ball. The football, the soccer ball, the basketball. Whatever it needs to be, bring it. To have a passion to retreat to is such a relief after a day of travel and exploring, especially if your dad has booked you 80000 hours of tours to crusty dusty musty places.

It was supposed to be a vacation, not a trip. So w It was supposed to be a vacation, not a trip. So we turned ourselves into boneless blobs that transitioned from pool to poolside and back again. Except this day. This day we went out to explore and stopped at a cenote to swim. Middle One gave it his full approval and has plans to find more the next opportunity he gets. Little discoveries count as much as big ones.

39/50: Kentucky. We spent the day with the NPS and 39/50: Kentucky. We spent the day with the NPS and couldn't have been happier. Mammoth Caves are unlike any of the other caves we've been to--they're dry and somewhat less impressive, though the cave system is huge (mammoth even). Lincoln's birthplace was a fun little stop. Worth the time.
