Even after living in the Netherlands for three years I was excited to take part in the Jordaan Amsterdam Food Tour. The tour includes twelve food tastings over the course of four hours.

A few weeks ago I was double-checking a few things and noticed that my passport had less then 6 months to expiration. That may seem like plenty of time to process a renewal but many countries won’t let you enter with a passport that expires in the next six months. I immediately scheduled an appointment …
We opted to celebrate Easter in Gdansk, Poland. We had a four-day weekend and wanted to explore this beautiful port city. Gdansk, Poland doesn’t top many people’s travel wish list, but it should. You can find so many things to do in Gdansk wth kids. Easter is not the ideal time to visit Poland as …
I could honestly visit Keukenhof Tulip Gardens over and over, so when our spring schedule required a third visit I was pretty excited. My parents were in town so the Little Little and I accompanied them on a visit to Keukenhof in April. You might wonder how I could visit the gardens for a third …

I recently read an article that tackled the question, “Tuscany or Provence?” That was the first time I thought of the two locations comparatively. Italy’s Tuscany is a magical place full of history, vineyards and culinary delights. France’s Provence is, well, describable in very much the same way. Interestingly, we visited both Tuscany and Provence …
Isle de la Sorgue is one of those picturesque French towns splattered all over Pinterest and Instagram. It is known for its antique markets and waterwheels.

Les Baux-de-Provence is an adorable French town built onto the side of a hill and capped with a castle. By some accounts it is the cutest town in France.
