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...
In all the lands that make up the Disney Universe, Animal Kingdom is our absolute favorite! The immersive environment, the vast storytelling, the natural way Disney incorporates the environment into the theming and narrative, the excellent live shows, the greatest roller coaster, and the best restaurants at Animal Kingdom!
Of course the food!
Yes, this blog post is all about...
If you want to throw away $30 we could recommend far better ways to do it. Wolmi Theme Park is like a miniature, run down, vacant Coney Island with no beach access, and then imagine something even worse.
Wolmido Island is highly touted on everyone’s “Top 10 Things you Can’t Miss in Incheon, South Korea” but for our family...
Jalapeños Central is rated one of the best places to eat in Costa Rica, and since we’d already partaken in a few inedible and unappetizing places, we were eager to try some really great tasting and great looking food. This restaurant delivers on both counts. Jalapeños Central with kids is an excellent choice!

No matter where you are in the world, or what nationality you hail from, there is just something comforting about a Chinatown. You can count on it in every city, from San Francisco to Incheon, Korea. Excellent Chinese food, red and gold decorations with dragons spewing fire, and a language that makes most foreigners sure the locals are gossiping...
Our visit to Walt Disney World in 2017 fell in between Hurricane Irma and Hurricane Maria. Orlando broke several heat and humidity records during our visit, and we undeniably felt the heat. The humidity levels were at or above 75% a good portion of every day. We were begging for water at every turn and guzzling ice cream that...
It’s amazing how traveling to new places truly broadens your horizons, and expands your knowledge. Not just of worldly events but geographical ones as well. We loved spending a month in Japan traveling from Hiroshima to Kyoto to Tokyo. While we are not suggesting, by any means, that visiting the Japan Pavilion at Walt Disney World compares to visiting...
Of course we couldn’t say no to stopping for ice cream. We’d been traversing the island of Vieques all day, ran into the local Latter Day Saint missionaries and chatted for some time and then accompanied them to what they suggested was the best pizzeria on the island, only to find that it was closed! After our absolute disappointment...

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...
