Date Night in Box Brought the Date Night to us. We’ve been absolutely crazy setting up house in Florida! There is quite a bit of work to be done here and we are constantly busy with the kids. So, the idea of a date night being sent to our door was terribly appealing. The November […]
Continue readingLeaving Strasbourg and heading to Stuttgart, friends recommended stopping at a lovely German waterfall hike right along our route. (Last year these same friends pointed us to the gnome hike in Switzerland, so we were eager to try another of their recommendations.) Predictably, the Gaisholl Wasserfalle turned out to be a perfect stop for the […]
Continue readingIf you’re looking for the perfect travel bag – you know, one that is easy to carry, keeps everything you need at your fingertips and looks stylish – you need to check out the Mia Tui Jennie. I took the Mia Tui Jennie bag all around the Netherlands, Poland and Lithuania, traveling by train, car […]
Continue readingWe’ve visited quite a few open air parks on our travels. The Ulster American Folk Park in Northern Ireland has been the easiest to relate to as it follows emigrants from the town of Ulster through to their eventual arrival in America.

Continue readingMuseum Voorlinden in Wassenaar, The Netherlands has been on my radar for a while. (Wassenaar is a suburb of The Hague and easily reached by public transportation from Den Haag Central.) I’m a big fan of contemporary and modern art. I find it interesting and easily digestible with kids. We had not yet visited Museum […]
Continue readingThis post contains affiliate links. Eindhoven, Netherlands is known as a technology and design hub in the southern part of the country. It also happens to be a city we always seem to be passing through, but have never really taken the time to explore. Eindhoven GLOW, a winter light festival, has been on my […]
Continue readingThe Miffy Museum in Utrecht has been on the top of our “to do” list for a while, but the timing never seemed right. The museum is small and gets crowded. Reservations are strongly recommended. Although we love to plan, our local weekend adventures are typically a bit more spur-of-the-moment. With six weeks of summer […]
Continue readingCentral Portugal has so much to offer we had to make some tough choices on where to spend our time. We ultimately leaned on things we knew the boys would enjoy, turning a day heavy with driving into one of the best of the trip. We left Évora early with an end destination of Coimbra. […]
