It began the way the best stories always do, with a boy and a girl who fell in love.
In the 1950's, Jay and Sandy Niederhauser met on a street corner in Salt Lake City, Utah. More in love now than they were in 1959, the couple has now spent over 50 years together. Today the couple spend their days...

Iceland Children’s Book of the Trip Selection: Trukkar Og Tæki by Roger de Klerk
Catherine - 0
We started a tradition the year we went to Iceland: Buy a book in each place we visit. We started this tradition in Iceland, specifically, because we celebrated Christmas here and it is an Icelandic tradition to give or get a new book on Christmas Eve and spend the night reading it. This practice is called jólabókaflóð. We absolutely...

Well, naturally after boarding the Disney Magic, and then the Disney Wonder Disney Cruise Ships, it only made sense to move on to the Disney Fantasy. Bigger, bolder, and better? We had to find out.
While we did want to cross off sailing on all four Disney Cruise Ships, we didn’t exactly intend to go on three Disney Cruise...

Disney Cruising with Mickey Mouse and Friends | A Family Guide to Character Sightings and Meet and Greets On Board Disney Cruise Ships
Catherine - 0
When it comes to cruising with Disney, there may actually come a point where your child walks by Mickey Mouse and doesn’t beg to see him. Shocking, I know! When you visit any Disney park, at no point do you ever balk at the 90 minute marker to see Mickey Mouse. You just do it, because he’s the reason...

Casual Dining for Families for Breakfast and Lunch Aboard A Disney Cruise | Cabanas: Disney Cruise Buffet
Catherine - 0
Nothing is as synonymous with cruising as a buffet, right? That, plus the cigarette smoke filtering into our room is pretty much most of what we remember about cruising with Carnival during the worst travel experience of our lives. On a Disney Cruise, the buffet isn’t quite as memorable but perhaps only because everything about a Disney cruise is...

Why Panama Jack’s Cancun Resort Offers The Best Family Vacation [REVIEW]
Catherine - 0
Cancun has never been at the top of our list for places we were even remotely interested in going. Cancun is synonymous with spring break bikinis and extremely poor judgement involving copious amounts of alcohol. When we found Panama Jack's in Cancun we decided to risk it and we took a break from the bitter Utah winter to travel...

One of the distinguishing characteristics of a Disney cruise is the luxury factor. The grand lobby, the glass elevators, the exquisite foods, the private island… This even extends where most cruises stop: your stateroom. On a Disney cruise your stateroom is one of the largest. Though you won't be spending most of your time here, it makes all the...

Family Restaurant Review: Surf and Turf in Kirkenes, Norway | The Only Alternative to 7-11
Catherine - 2
During our entire eight day trip to Norway, we only ate at three restaurants for a total of three meals. Everything was either closed, insanely overpriced, or unappealing. That means we lived off of snacks and were starving the majority of the time. We devoured our meals on the Hurtigruten, and Pepe’s Pizza at the airport filled a very...
