During our family trip to London, we decided to take a couple days to explore another nearby area by train or by car. There are MANY options for quick trips outside of London, so it took us awhile to make a final decision on the destination. In the end, we decided to head to central… continue reading

Travel with Me & Baby | London | Part Two
For both days four and five of our trip to London with our one-year-old, we spent most of our time in or near the London Bridge area.

Travel with Me & Baby | London | Part One
Well, we did it! This October we took the risk, packed up our bags, and made our way across the Atlantic Ocean to the UK – with our 18-month-old. I have always wanted to travel with our children during all life stages, and while we have done a bit of domestic travel with Carson, this… continue reading
Travel With Me // Winter in England’s Lake District
England’s Lake District is dreamy. It is like nothing I ever expected. Even in winter when it is supposed to be the least scenic, my jaw was dropping as our tour van wound through the gorgeous green mountains dotted with sheep and charming English villages. We still want to go back in the future when the… continue reading

For our day trip to Oxford, we traveled in by train from Bristol just as we did for our day trip to Bath the day before. The train journey to Oxford was much longer than to Bath (about an hour and a half), but it was still very convenient and worth the savings in hotel prices…. continue reading

After leaving London for the second stop on our big adventure, we took the train to Bristol which was our home base for the next three nights.

Our first stop on our grand European adventure was a one-week stay in London with my family. The main motivation for this family trip was to see my brother Ben march in the London New Year’s Day Parade with his high school marching band, but we turned it into a a week packed full of amazing… continue reading
