Most of our travel is kid-friendly but there are a few things to check out that just are not. With two of my girlfriends in town for the weekend, I left the kids at home and we set out to tour the Royal Delft Pottery Factory. The factory is adjacent to the TU Delft campus …
In the woods adjacent to Delftse Hout lies a little deer park. A little fenced-in area is home to deer, ducks, geese, chickens and rabbits. This section of the woods is also quite popular for dog walking, so we almost always run into some dogs as well. It’s on the way home from town for me …
Knus, or as H calls it “the boat house” is basically the most perfect place for mom and kids when the weather is nice. I had no idea why it was constantly where we met for the first few months here, but now I know it is because the warm weather is fleeting. The playground …

Turns out the Wuppertal Suspension Railway is driving distance from our house and was on the way to some work related travel Jeff had scheduled. Our first stop in Wuppertal though was the Wuppertal Zoo. Parking is …
Our kids are right in the zone for a character-filled visit to Disney. We spent a week at Walt Disney World before we left the States and had a blast, so when I found a deal for a February Disneyland Paris visit we booked right away. We did not tell the kids. I found the package …
We booked a riad before doing any real research on Marrakech or thinking about what we would want to do. We ended up with 6 days booked in a riad. This turned out to be a bit too much for us. We like to be on the go and by day 5 we felt done …

Prison Escape is a game (think escape room, but legit) where you willingly report to a now-retired prison in Rotterdam to be locked up.
