Two Kids and a Map

Kids Go West is a great little corner of the web where Carolina talks about traveling with her small child. Her blog lists some great tips and ideas for traveling with small children. When I read her blog it makes me feel like we are discussing travel plans over coffee while our kids [...]

One of our favorite US destinations is our nation’s capital, Washington, DC. Any child who has had a class in American history can appreciate or at least tolerate the monuments, museums and memorials even if they complain the whole time. But what do you do with your toddlers? You know the children I am talking [...]

When I first started this little bloggy blog, I was really just looking at journaling my travels with my family. Friends always ask me how and why we travel with our children as much as we do. I thought that this blog would be a good way to chronicle our adventures, both in [...]

In honor of this weekend’s Cherry Blossom Festival in Washington DC, I am going to show off some of my cherry blossom and Japanese Tulip pictures for Photo Friday. Check out some other great travel photos at Delicious Baby. The Cherry Blossom Festival is great for families! The flowers are absolutely gorgeous and make for [...]

I first found The Carey Adventures when I was doing an Internet search for Peru (Imagine my excitement when he commented on my blog the other day!). Daddy J and I have decided that Machu Picchu ranks high on our list of things to do in the near future. Barring extenuating circumstances, we [...]

A few weeks ago, my sister got to enjoy a wonderful extended weekend in New York City. She got to see a play (Chicago…her favorite!), take the ferry past the Statue of Liberty and wander around Times Square. Just color me green with envy. I am insanely jealous. Really. I mean, look…how can you [...]

This weekend we went to visit Daddy J’s brother Matt while he was visiting their mom and dad in Panama City. While there, we had a family friend take our family pictures. I take most of the kid’s pictures (no more Walmart or Sears for us!), but I didn’t want to just set the self [...]

Gary Arndt, of Everything Everywhere, is living my dream (I am sensing a theme here!)! In 2007, he sold his house, packed up his possessions and headed out on a tour around the world. He has traveled to over 50 countries. His Daily Travel Photo is one of my favorite parts about [...]

McGuire’s Irish Pub is one of our favorite places to take friends and family when they come to visit us. There are all things Irish decorating the pub and thousands of dollars hanging from the ceilings. The pub serves up great food…I recommend the Shepherd’s Pie. They serve up great beer…I recommend them all but [...]
