Seeing the massive coastal redwood trees in Northern California has been on Andrew’s bucket list for quite some time now. When we were able to score cheap flights to Hawaii from San Francisco but needed a few extra days to get COVID tested, we decided this was the perfect opportunity to make a pit stopContinue reading “Northern California January 2021”

How to Get a Hawaii Quarantine Exemption
Hawaii’s fragile economy relies heavily on tourism but as a small group of islands with limited healthcare availability they have really struggled with choosing between health and sustainability and oftentimes those go hand in hand. Hawaii reopened for tourism in late 2020 after being closed for over half the year, but not without limitations. AtContinue reading “How to Get a Hawaii Quarantine Exemption”
Disney World Christmas 2020
Having a baby is hard work so we decided to take a load off by going to Disney World with 4 kids and a newborn! In all seriousness though adding a newborn to our trip didn’t change hardly anything except a few more stops at the baby care centers. We opted to stay at ourContinue reading “Disney World Christmas 2020”
Disney World Late August 2020
Hurricane Laura made her grand appearance in our area one afternoon in late August. Our electricity is quite finicky at our house, it goes out every time it even thinks about bad weather. As usual, our electricity went out with the first gust of wind amid clear blue skies and not a drop of rainContinue reading “Disney World Late August 2020”
Disney World August 2020
Shortly after returning from Disney the first week of August we were really missing it! You can read about that trip HERE. While we were on that trip the farm got a much needed rain.

Can You Backpack Through Europe With Small Kids?
The short answer is yes, absolutely!! When we told people we were planning on spending 3 weeks in Europe as a family of 6 with 4 kids under 5 and nothing but 2 backpacks we got a lot of *unsolicited & mostly unhelpful* advice! Everyone was quick to tell us that we were crazy, butContinue reading “Can You Backpack Through Europe With Small Kids?”
Destin Florida May 2020
As soon as the farm got a big rain and Florida reopened their beaches and restaurants, we were outta here! Even though it was just a quick 4 day trip, it was a much needed break from being cooped up in the house for 2 months! Especially with our travel obsessed family! Several years agoContinue reading “Destin Florida May 2020”
Walt Disney World February 2020
Considering we’ve been confined to our homes for over a week now due to COVID-19 and social distancing you would think I would be caught up on my travel posts by now, but I am not, of course. This is the last post in our winter travel adventures though so I wasn’t too far behind!Continue reading “Walt Disney World February 2020”
Disneyland Paris
It’s no secret that we are huge Disney fans. We visit Walt Disney World 5+ times a year and enjoy every second of it! So one would think that it would be a no brainer for us to visit Disneyland Paris while in town, but that was not our plan! We only had 5 daysContinue reading “Disneyland Paris”
