Ok, so "seeing it all" is a bit of a lie. No itinerary can include EVERYTHING there is to see in only 3-days in Paris. To be honest, this was my 5th trip and I still have lots to see in the future. But damned if my bestie Shaina and I didn't squeeze every possible minute out of our own 3-day Paris itinerary! I don't th [...]

Four days in Krakow with kids (AND friends!)

What I didn't write about in 2018: a day trip to Siena and more!
We're already more than two weeks into January, and I'm realizing there are still adventures from 2018 I haven't written about. Among these were a day trip to Siena during ou [...]

How cow, 2018 was a fun year for us in terms of travel! And an eventful one. We may have gone a little crazier than normal on trips since we had a bit of a carpe diem attitude ("gotta go now, Owen starts school in the fall!" and "let's go before we have another baby" and "what if we never see fares this low again?!").

Well, I blinked and suddenly we are marking our first anniversary in Sicily! How is that possible? If we end up staying for only three years (we can probably extend to five), that means we're already 1/3 done with our time here? Insanity. I planned to reflect on a year here myself, but it occurred to me that you guy [...]

While we found Oktoberfest to be a fabulous time to head for Germany, Munich with kids is a good idea just about any time of year! We had a blast at the Englischer Garten, Deutches Museum, Marianplatz and more. Munich is always great, and Munich with kids is even better.
