I thought I’d start this blog with some personal notes. I’m a dad with a 5 year old boy and a 10 month old baby boy. And a wife that works full time. So we are pretty busy juggling job, schools, activities, etc. Well, I’ve always had a travel bug, which has been curtailed a bit by the responsibilities of being a dad.
Before we had kids, we went to: China, Hong Kong, France, Switzerland, Germany, the Netherlands, Belize, Guatemala, Tanzania, and Kenya. Within the US, we traveled to Alaska and hiked around Denali, drove from LA to Boston via Las Vegas, Grand Canyon, Utah, Moab NP, Bryce NP, Zion NP, Canyonlands NP, Colorado, Rocky Mountain NP, Vail, Denver….
Anyway, we haven’t done as much traveling since then. But we are planning on taking our kids to the Bahamas in a few weeks and we need to plan that trip. I thought I’d just blog about the process and highlight some great tips for family vacations and traveling with kids that I find on the Web for other would-be family travelers that have to take the kids along with them. Please comment if there is anything that you’d like to read about!
