We had a bit of a late start on Day Three. Jet lag was setting in big time! However, we were out of the hotel before noon and headed to the train station for a day trip to Antwerp. I am still amazed by the architecture of the train stations in the cities we visited.… Continue reading Europe 2017 – Antwerp

Europe 2017 – Gent
After the whirlwind known as the end of the school year, which included field trips, field days, and award ceremonies, we zipped away to Europe to visit with the DH's side of the family.

Spring Break 2017
The kids were on Spring Break last week, so we headed to Destin, FL, for a few days of rest and relaxation. Most of our time was spent at the indoor pool watching the kids frolic in the water.

Christmas in Nassau
We spent Christmas Eve thru New Year's Eve with my parents and brother in Nassau. It's been a while since I'd been home and the kids were starting to forget details from our 2014 visit when they were only 6 and 5, so it was well overdue. We arrived Saturday evening and spent it with… Continue reading Christmas in Nassau

CityWalk We hit the road first… Continue reading A Universal Orlando Resort and Sea World Thanksgiving
Why Travel Is So Important To Us
Right before we left for Memphis this past weekend, an acquaintance asked, "Where are y'all off to this weekend?" Of course I gave her the short answer, but it reminded me of a promise the DH and I made to each other when we decided to start a family. I've written before about the challenges… Continue reading Why Travel Is So Important To Us

Vacationing with Kids in New Orleans
Because the DH and I aren't known to bar hop, we always get "the look" when we announce we're taking a vacation in New Orleans. We argue that New Orleans is a cultural hot spot with lots of fun activities for little kids. We went with my Mom in 2013 and just last week, we… Continue reading Vacationing with Kids in New Orleans
