Our 2024 Travels
Wow! 2024 was my favorite year to date. I wish I could turn back time and do it all over again. We found our groove in 2024 and left the country for the first time with our son. He started walking at 10 months old (end of February 2024), so every place we took him…

Visit Stonehenge for Free
We visited Stonehenge for FREE in June 2024 & we were not English Heritage or National Trust members.

We already had many activities and tours booked for our three…

Kristoff watched me walk across the…

Tropical Paradise: St. Croix
St. Croix was truly a tropical paradise that we will never forget and hope to return to soon. We flew into STX on June 26, 2021, after a 3.5-hour flight with no idea that our snorkeling dreams were about to come true. We LOVE water, so we spent as much time as possible in it!…
