Our favorite family trips through Europe — from biking in the Netherlands to exploring Italy’s ancient ruins and charming small towns.
There is nothing in the U.S. that is quite like Plaswijckpark. It is part petting zoo, part indoor/outdoor playground with a few rides and a boat tour thrown in. Seriously, its your kids’ perfect day. Coming from the U.S. I’m continually amazed at the sort of things kids can do here in Europe. There was …
It is Mostly Wordless Wednesday again. Today’s picture is from this weekend in Maastricht. The weather was crisp, the leaves had turned, and my littlest just wanted to go for a walk. Linked up with:
It seems that every town we find our way to these days is cuter than the last! Jeff once again had some work in the southern part of the Netherlands. We booked two nights at the TownHouse Hotel in Maastricht. (Read our review here.) This trip we had two days to spend in the area so …
Each fall Scheveningen, the largest of the Dutch North Sea beach resorts, hosts the Kite Festival. Scheveningen is just about 10 miles from our house. That’s 16 kilometers for the rest of the world.

The Townhouse Hotel is on the East side of the Maas River in Maastricht, about a five-minute walk from the river and …
I’ve fallen in with the most delightful group of moms here. So, I jumped at the chance for a fun fall family outing with a few of these ladies and their families. We headed about 45min north of Delft to a Self-Pick Apple Farm, Landgoed De Olmenhorst. While Olmenhorst is not your only option for apple …
It is time for another #igTravelThursday. The Market Square is the center of life in a Dutch town. We are always in awe of what is going on in our Delft Market. Seemingly overnight it is transformed from a Bocci Court, complete with sand, to a sea of restaurants to a small carnival and back again. Here …
