Hallgrímskirkja Church, erected high on the hill in the city of Reykjavik, brags of her immense beauty, as she can be seen from nearly any point within the city. She stands as a beacon, with the wings of the church flanking her towering peak and resembling the pipes inside her. Yet, the exquisite beauty of Hallgrímskirkja is nothing compared...
We love Epcot; in fact, Epcot and Disney's Animal Kingdom are our family's favorite parks at Disney World. That might be a little sacrilegious for parents of toddlers to admit, but we love how immersive each park is! These parks are dedicated entirely to the guest experience and to the seclusion of the outside world, more so than any...
Arches National Park, located in the beautiful town of Moab, is a passageway carved through the sandstone ridges, mountains and cliffs. Witnessing the most beautiful shade of red, everywhere you turn, is hypnotizing. We've compiled a 3 day itinerary for Arches National Park that your family can enjoy without worrying about missing anything. We've taken into account tiny tired...
It’s no secret we love Halloween. It was my Grandmother’s favorite holiday, and she passed on her love for it to me. Our family copied her idea for a black Halloween tree with eyeballs for ornaments, a papier-mâché undead bride sits on our mantle, we’ve already made festive cupcakes with blood spilling out of them, and we have spiderwebs completely...

As excited as we were about seeing Elsa and Anna, we couldn’t shake the feeling that something was very wrong. Standing in line was a large, single, heavy set man with thick, dark rimmed glasses, brown hair and a fishing hat that blocked most of his face. He was fidgeting and kept his phone upright at all times. He...
When we visit a new place, we love living as the locals do - participating in local customs, eating the native foods, walking through their neighborhoods, and everything else. When we came to Iceland for Christmas, we wanted to have an Icelandic Christmas. We wanted to eat skate on Þorláksmessa, (dish of putrefying shark), and reindeer on Christmas. We...
All things considered, during our eight day trip in Norway we actually spent a majority of our time at the Oslo Airport, OSL. Three of those eight days were spent at the Oslo Gardermoen Airport in fact. We had zero success getting on a flight to Tromsø for Christmas, and we had zero success getting on a flight out of...
Traveling can often mean carrying a lot of cash and valuables around with you at all times, in strange places, where you don't speak the language and often don't really know where you are. Valuables like cash, credit cards, passports, birth certificates, etc.
So, what happens when you lose all your cash and all your credit cards in one fail...
I can’t write about this topic with too much authority because as a parent, I’m not actually allowed in the Youth Club. Except during open houses, these areas are strictly for kids! The open house is also the only time you can take photos. But I’ve been told, and witnessed, how much my kids beg and plead and love...
