Over Thanksgiving Break 2022, our family took a trip to San Diego to visit Legoland. Legoland was our kids’ early Christmas present, and it caught them totally by surprise. After a day there, we headed over to Death Valley National Park to spend the rest of the break there. I wanted to share what we […]

Free Things To Do In Santa Barbara With Kids
Back in 2010, Joe landed a clerkship with a federal judge in Santa Barbara so, upon completing our graduate degrees, we packed our car and drove to California. When we arrived in Santa Barbara we immediately fell in love with its mountains and beaches. What we didn’t fall in love with was the crazy cost […]

Cairo And Giza In Ten Images
Cairo and Giza are really great places to travel to and to photograph. There are many opportunities to capture unique moments. For me, traveling with two young kids, it was a bit more challenging as there was also a lot happening and you really need to keep a close eye on your kids at all […]
