Growing up in a single-parent home, we didn’t take many vacations. Every summer we attended a Christian family camp and we took frequent trips to visit my grandparents in Pennsylvania, but that was about the extent of our family travel.
Once Orin and I got married, we traveled whenever we could. Whether it was just a day trip or someplace further, we’ve always loved traveling together. It’s so much fun to explore a new or favorite destination, especially when you do it with people you love!
Just because we’ve added a few kids into the mix, neither of us wanted to give up traveling and having fun together. It’s been a goal of ours to not only get out there and have fun experiences as a family, but do it affordably. We want to help your family be able to make memories traveling too! W enjoy sharing our best tips and trick for family travel, plus reviews of the places we visit.
Below I’ve taken the time to organize our family travel posts for you, both the destinations we’ve visited and also general tips for traveling with kids. I hope you find them helpful!

Live alone and traveling as a solo can be just as challenging for different reasons

I would love to visit South Dakota. We are campers and Jellystone Campground sounds like it would be fun to stay at with the kids.
