About
I started this website as part travel diary and part travel guide. Through years of traveling as a family, we have discovered some unique and interesting places, as well as guidelines for traveling with pre-teens and teens. (They are some of the toughest traveling companions around!) We have had lots of fun – but it ain’t over yet! The list of places I would like to visit is always growing and it is always changing. It’s a great big world out there!
So, let me make the introductions — we are a crazy, silly, fun and close family of four. I suppose that could be up for debate – but at least it’s what I think we are! I’m Chris – the mom. My better half is Joe. My daughter, Jayci, is 18 and just started college. And my son Jackson is 14 years old; he is in 8th grade.
Besides posting about family vacations, I will also include some day trips – especially in Florida – since it’s our home base.
There have been many successes and even some failures along the way, but I hope what we have learned can help you make some smart decisions. And not make the same mistakes! And I hope it acts as inspiration. We’ve been lucky to do some amazing things and I feel it has educated my kids in a way that school can’t. Getting out of your usual family routine and taking time together to discover new places will bring life-long memories and a rich history of shared experiences, which can only bring you closer.
Happy travels!
