The Kunsthal Museum in Rotterdam sits on the museumpark and has rotating exhibits of modern art. A neighbor told us that we should not miss the current exhibition of hyper realism so we made plans to head to Rotterdam one morning while the kids were in school. We have been extremely lucky to have a …
When I read about the London Postal Museum I knew we needed to check it out the next time we were in the city. The London Postal Museum seemed to have everything my kids loved – a working train, a kid play area and kid friendly museum. Not to mention Jeff and I were interested …
This post contains affiliate links. Lithuania isn’t at the top of most travel bucket lists. Actually, no Baltic state finds its way to the top of travel lists, but they should. We had previously visited Estonia and Latvia, so Lithuania was our last Baltic state to visit. We had lovely visits to all three and …

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 …

Pont du Gard has been on my bucket list since we moved to Europe. I just knew I had to see the three level, Roman aqueduct in person. Our winter visit provided us with cooler temperatures and no crowds, making our visit to Pont du Gard nearly perfect. Pont du Gard has two parking lots, …
We’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. You’ll spend your time here moving from one house to the other engaging …
What better place to head on New Year’s Day than Belfast in Northern Ireland. The ticket price on EasyJet was right and we figured the weather couldn’t be any worse than what we would face in the Netherlands. What we didn’t know is that we would be arriving just in time to be bashed by …
