Do you ever find yourself talking about how traveling with the whole family is expensive? Yeah, I understand it. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Over the years, we found that no matter where you go in the United States or abroad, there will most likely be tons of things to do that won’t break the bank. As an example, on our trip to Connecticut, we...
Most people know that Austin is the “Live Music Capital of the World”. That’s a pretty big title to live up to year after year. But Austin also has a pretty vibrant art scene. There are literally hundreds of super creative murals all around Austin. And we got a chance to see a few of them on our trip to Austin and San Antonio (interested on a trip...
With lots of history and culture, San Antonio is also loaded with fun things to do for adults and kids alike. Just a short drive away from Austin, Houston, or Dallas, San Antonio is conveniently located whether you’re taking the family on a weekend getaway or an extended stay. San Antonio has attractions for all styles and tastes. If you have just a little bit...
When Carlos’ parents (and brother) planned a 3-week trip to Southeast Asia and invited us along, we jumped at the opportunity. We were giddy with excitement but also were somewhat frightened. It’s not that we thought Hong Kong was scary. But having never been to Asia before, we weren’t sure what to expect, especially since we planned on traveling to...
Vacations can get pretty hectic. Sometimes all you need is a place to relax, take in the views, people watch, and enjoy each other. Innsbruck is a great place to do just that. It’s small and quaint, and it’s ideal for a day trip with the kids from either Munich or Salzburg. After a day in Salzburg, we took the train to Venice, Italy. But before we could...
The goal of most vacations is to leave the day-to-day and enjoy not being busy. But sometimes vacations can feel just as stressful as “real life”. But not in Salzburg, Austria. The city is full of charm, history, culture, and even pop culture. But it’s not enormous like other places with as much heritage and influence. Salzburg is actually pretty...
In Part 2 of our European Adventure, we left Iceland (read about our visit to Iceland) and headed back to the continent through Munich, Germany. The city is the 3rd largest in Germany and the 12th in Europe and is well-known for its beer, pretzels, sausages, and Bavarian heritage. But most of all, Munich is chock full of activities for families with kids. Table of...
Iceland is an adventurer’s dream destination. It has become super popular, and now it’s on most travelers’ bucket lists. The sights, volcanoes, glaciers, rugged terrain, the northern lights are just so captivating. There are so many things to do in Iceland for adults and kids that it’s hard to see it all in just a few days. For families on a budget...
Since Lucas’ Fall Break was quickly approaching in October 2018, we went on the hunt for ideas for a quick family vacation. Normally, we come up with a few destination options and go to work on figuring out costs, budget, and ways to save, mostly with points and miles. This time was no different. Our family vacation ideas ranged from going back to Iceland (or...
For Spring Break 2019, we headed to Puerto Vallarta on the West coast of Mexico for some warmth and relaxation. We don’t do the resort thing very often. But since this time we wanted a vacation that didn’t require much planning, we thought we’d give it a try. We decided on Crown Paradise Club in Puerto Vallarta because it is an all-inclusive resort...
