Wroclaw topped my list of Polish cities to visit with kids. It is small and easily walkable. There are playgrounds and open space galore for the kids to run around. This is all before you add in the Wroclaw Gnomes that can be found all over town. Wroclaw lacks blockbuster sights, but that just adds …
Kaunas is a hidden gem in Lithuania. It’s compact old city boasts charming accommodations and a thriving foodie scene. The easy parking (0.60 EUR/hour until 6pm, free on weekends) and proximity to attractions make Kaunas an excellent and reachable destination from Lithuania’s capital city of Vilnius. Kaunas is just an hour by train from Vilnius …
While I will never be able to pronounce the city name Hellevoetsluis, I give it my highest recommendation for a day-trip. It’s a town full of Dutch delights from a windmill to a historic fort – both accessible to the youngest of visitors. Beware, however, as German tourists have found Hellevoetsluis and you’ll be surrounded …
Exploring Dutch towns is one of my favorite pastimes. I never tire of the beautiful houses perched along the canals with markets overflowing. I once thought that seeing one small town here was just like seeing them all but I’ve come to appreciate the subtle differences in each town. Although I still maintain that Delft …

This interactive city allows kids to role play in a variety of career fields throughout the city. It has activities for children ages 1-14 and is available in 19 countries. London was our closest location …

The Big Little and I have been reading some of the Harry Potter series for our night time read aloud. He happily fell into the magical world and his pretend play followed suit. Sticks are nearly always wands and he constantly asks for spells to do certain things. So, when we found out we would …
Every time we go to London with kids we are charmed. There seems to be an endless supply of things to do with the littles. Cafes abound, meaning you’re never far from food. The city is easy to get around. The fact that you get to use a double decker bus just adds to the …
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 …
We opted to celebrate Easter in Gdansk, Poland. We had a four-day weekend and wanted to explore this beautiful port city. Gdansk, Poland doesn’t top many people’s travel wish list, but it should. You can find so many things to do in Gdansk wth kids. Easter is not the ideal time to visit Poland as …
