Meiringen, Switzerland is home to so many great family finds. We wanted a morning expedition to stretch our legs before our hour-long train ride to Lucerne. I scoured the Moms, Tots, Zurich webpage and found Aare Gorge. It looked to be the perfect hike that the boys would be able to do on their own. …
Our Switzerland trip was so full of family-friendly activities, but one of our favorites was the Muggestutz Dwarf Trail. This family-friendly hike allows children to live out the Muggestutz stories while you enjoy a hike through the Swiss Alps. The hike is not suitable for a stroller.

The Golden Pass line makes a stop in Interlaken so we figured we would hop off and explore a bit. There is plenty to do here but we had our sights set on a quick half-day adventure to Heimwehfluh, a funicular and alpine roller coaster. We departed the train at Interlaken West, this part of …

A visit to Texel is not complete without a visit to the Shipwreck & Beach-Combing Museum in Texel, Netherlands. When you pull up you’ll wonder if I’ve sent you to the right place. The museum is in fact just a collection of items that have been found on the beaches and shores of Texel. It …

Dinant, Belgium sits along the Muse River. It is a city lodged into the river valley giving it unbelievably pristine views. We stopped in Dinant to break up the drive between Luxembourg City and Delft, Netherlands. Instead of driving the RV into Dinant’s narrow streets we parked at the top of the Citadel. Be careful …
