Since moving to the west coast, we have opened a whole new section of the country that is easily accessible for family trips. After some research on where to spend the Thanksgiving vacation week, we landed on visiting Arizona with kids. This was the perfect spot to spent a week…
There are endless places to visit in the state of Washington involving lakes and mountains. The state really has a perfect combination of water and mountains. All summer we saw that friends were visiting awesome getaways only a few hours east of Seattle. Two of these destinations included Lake Chelan…
24 Hours in Page, Arizona This past November we had the privilege of visiting a new part of the United States that we hadn’t yet explored. Instead of our typical Thanksgiving in New York State, we flew to Las Vegas to begin our road trip through a portion of Arizona.…
We just recently took our second a trip to San Diego, California with kids. The first time we visited, our oldest daughter was just shy of two years old. Since that was pre-blogging days, I will try to include some account of that trip here as well ;). There are…

As soon as we moved to Seattle I began researching good weekend road trips and we decided that Vancouver, BC would be our first road trip. The trip took much longer than anticipated because of the wait to cross the border. There are a few entry points to consider when…
We’ve been living in Seattle for roughly 3 months now and it’s finally summer time. Everyone keeps telling us that the weather here gets worse before summer officially starts. On this day (7/1/18) in New York the temperatures nearly reached 100 degrees. But in the Seattle area it was drizzling,…
