When we decided to rent a camper van and stay on farms as part of France Passion, we knew this trip would go against our normal overly-planned style. Instead of a full itinerary, we highlighted some “must see” sights and went from there. We knew we wanted to see the D-Day sights that lie on …
This trip started as most of my crazy ideas do, with a Pinterest post. Next thing we knew Jeff was off looking at rental RV’s that would fit our family of five. I read everything I could find about installing car seats into RVs and finally we decided just to go for it and reserve …
I found France Passion the way I discover most crazy travel ideas – through Pinterest! While Googling ideas for a French RV trip I ran across this article from Beer and Croissants about staying on farms in a motorhome while traveling around France. I was instantly intrigued. We had toyed with renting a camper van …

In 2017, Kinder Museum Nacht Den Haag was held on Saturday March 18th. The yearly event opens about 20 museums after-hours with special kids programming. The Big Little was old enough to enjoy the events this year – and also able to stay awake late enough to make it fun. The event targets 4-12 year …
While we were staying in Porto we decided to venture out of the city on a day trip to some of the sights to the north. There are plenty of bus tours that head out this way, but since we had the rental car we went on our own. Although we sometimes got a bit …
