Chefchaouen In Ten Images

Chefchaouen is truly a photographer’s dream! We had such a wonderful time exploring the charming blue streets of the medina. This is one of those towns where you find something beautiful everywhere you go. Even in the rain, we thought this was one of the most magical places we’ve ever visited. I hope you will […]
Best Travel Recipes For Kids

For a while, I’ve been thinking that it’d be nice to write a post about good and easy recipes for traveling families. While on the road, we still try to make sure our kids are getting nutritious meals. And, let’s be honest, it’s always nice to simply cook a meal at home and not have […]
Fez In Ten Images

Fez didn’t resonate with me in the same way that Marrakech did. Maybe it was because we stayed outside the main tourist area and we had to really navigate a big foreign city with the kids, or maybe it was because I didn’t instantly connect with the people the way I did in Marrakech, but […]
Things To See And Do In Fez, Morocco With Kids

After a very comfortable 8-hour train ride from Marrakech ($30 per ticket for first class, which was recommended to us so we had assigned seats together), we arrived in Fez (also spelled Fes), one of Morocco’s biggest and most visited cities. When we were planning our time in Fez, we didn’t find many resources on […]

During our travels, Joe has been the superstar behind keeping the kids while I […]
A Week In Marrakech With Kids

The people in Marrakech were definitely some of the friendliest we’ve encountered during our travels, and they […]

Italy In Ten Images

After five months exploring Europe, I can finally post my favorite ten images of Italy. We first stopped in Italy on our way from Switzerland to Slovenia back in June. At that time, we visited Arona, on the Lago Maggiore. Five months later, we found ourselves in Italy again, this time for a four-day stay […]
Venice With Kids Plus A Side Trip To Burano

For the last stop on our Europe road trip, we decided we wold spend a few days in Venice. We thought it’d be perfect because November is low season so we would be able to avoid the crowds and (hopefully) the crazy prices. Piran On our way to Venice, we stopped for the morning in […]
