Hilton Cocoa Beach Oceanfront

This past week we had the pleasure of exploring Hilton Cocoa Beach Oceanfront hotel in Florida. When traveling with kids I’m always looking for accommodations that have kid friendly activities. Hilton Cocoa Beach was perfect! From the splash pad next to the swimming pool, to the sand toys they have for the beach, our kids

Gaylord Rockies

From the moment we drove up to the Gaylord Rockies we were in awe of their Christmas decorations. This was the perfect place to spend a few days in the snow celebrating all things Christmas! We were excited to check out all of the holiday activities that the Gaylord Rockies have. They have indoor and

Why I Travel

I recently wrote a post on Instagram asking our followers why they travel. I had concluded based on my own experiences, that people travel for one of two reasons, you are running away from something or you are searching for something. Or maybe a little bit of both. Some people didn’t like what I said,

The Next Chapter

What is it like starting over again? In April we found ourselves moving boxes of our belongings into attics and garages. We took only what would fit in our backpacks, and hopped on a 12 hour flight to Paris with our two toddlers. In just over 7 weeks, we explored 6 countries in Europe and

Playgrounds in Paris

When traveling with two toddlers, finding local playgrounds was one of our top priorities. We wanted to be able to see all of the top tourist places while in Paris, so we aimed to find playgrounds near the top attractions. It was a win/win! Mom and dad get to see the Eiffel Tower, and the

Eating in Europe with Toddlers

We’ve officially been on the road for 17 days. We are a 1/3 of a way through our trip! We didn’t know what to expect when eating out at restaurants with our girls. Would they have a kids menu? Would there be anything our picky toddler would eat? Do they have high chairs? Well like

Adjusting

Paris is the first stop on our 8 week long backpacking trip through Europe. We are half way through our first week here and I think that’s deserving of a little update on how things are going! Let me just say, this lifestyle will be full of adjusting and adapting. I realized today, as we
