Kid Friendly Hotel, Hasliberg Switzerland

We hit the hotel jackpot with this lovely little hotel we found in Hasliberg, Switzerland, a sleepy little mountain town. Whenever we find a great place to stay with the kids I want to shout it from the mountain top! It can be so hard to find great lodging for our family of five…well six […]

Monet’s Garden in Giverny France

We opted to spend an afternoon exploring Monet’s Garden in Giverny, France. The drive was a bit of a backtrack but sitting in the RV we realized how close we were and that everything would be in bloom. We knew we had to go and in travel with kids, when you get the feeling it’s […]
