Capturing wonderful family moments has always been very important to me. So, I arranged to have Flytographer photograph our family during our visit. Our photographer used history and humor to engage our kids, while navigating us through the tight picturesque streets and squares of Bogotá. So very grateful to show our kids this great big […]
Unlike the cuisine of other countries, Colombian fare can be broken down into six distinctive regional cooking styles: Amazonian, Andean, Caribbean, Insular, Orinoco and Pacific. As the capital city, Bogotá captures elements from all these regional cuisines to create a dining scene full of wonderful dishes and drinks. Here are a few you must try! […]

Nevertheless, we do our best and tend to grab street food […]

However, shoulder-seasons offer incredible deals on airfare/hotels, fewer crowds and we wouldn’t have to deal with our cranky kids complaining over the sweltering heat. Always looking for a bargain, we jumped on the opportunity to explore Stockholm during spring break and fearlessly braved […]

As I mentioned in our Ireland Itinerary for Families post, traveling through Ireland by car gave our family the freedom and flexibility to take in the breathtaking countryside views and explore ancient magical castles. While it can be a daunting, renting and driving a car in foreign country, with a little preparation, knowledge and understanding […]

With two young kids and an active outdoor lifestyle, finding the perfect baby carrier was extremely important. The right carrier is quite personal, but found the Kelty carrier to be versatile, safe, lightweight, durable, and brimming with features. For six years, and two kids, it has been a key piece of equipment on our adventures. […]
