Les Baux-de-Provence, France

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. We found some beautiful French towns, but agree it is a not-to-miss spot when exploring the Provence region. We started our visit to Les Baux-de-Provence with […]

Visiting the Carrieres de Lumieres in France // Photo

Any description you read of the Carrieres de Lumieres just will not do it justice. We actually almost skipped these illuminated caves in our planning because the new installation was opening on the last day of our trip and we weren’t sure how to fit it in. Luckily, we made it work as it is […]

Avignon, France has so much to offer families. I had an entire day planned in the city involving renting bikes and tooling around Barthelasse Island, checking out a few of Avignon’s historic buildings and visiting the market hall for lunch.

Exploring Enniskillen in Northern Ireland

We ended up in Enniskillen at the end of our Northern Ireland trip because we were staying at the Manor House Country Hotel for a bit of a rest at the end of the trip. We had been on the go for most of the winter holidays and wanted to take it easy before we […]

Ulster American Folk Park in Northern Ireland

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 […]

The Point Bar in Limavady, Northern Ireland

The Point Bar is the town pub on Magilligan Point in Limavady, Northern Ireland. The weather was dreary and we needed a bit of a drive to kill some time. The Point Bar had excellent online reviews and maybe even a ferry over to Ireland, so we decided to drive out to the Point Bar […]

It is easily combined with a dip over the border into the Republic of Ireland to see a stone fort. Londonderry is full of historical significance and easy to traverse on foot. It’s […]
