During our time in Barcelona was took a day trip to the neighboring country of Andorra! Andorra is a landlocked principality and it does not have an airport, so the only way to visit is via a land crossing from France or Spain. The drive from Barcelona to Andorra la Vella (the capital) was 3 […]

Barcelona With Kids
The last time I was in Barcelona was when I was 6 months pregnant with my first kid. Needless to say, I was thrilled when we decided to spend Christmas in Barcelona with the kids over our 2022 winter break trip to Europe! Barcelona is such a fun and lively city! I love how art […]

Lisbon In Ten Images

Sicily In Ten Images
Back in 2017 we spent 10 days exploring part of the Italian island of Sicily with our two young kids. We found Sicily to be even more charming and kid-friendly than the other Italian regions we had visited! I never wrote a post about our time in Sicily, so I decided to put together a […]
Off-the-Beaten Track Things To Do In Paris With Kids
Paris is one of our favorite cities. It’s a wonderful city with lots of culture, amazing parks and great attractions for the entire family, and (surprise surprise!) also a great place to visit with kids. We have been fortunate to visit Paris more than a handful of times, on our own, as a couple, and […]
Twelve Reasons To Visit Romania With Kids
