    December 15, 2019 millionmilermom

    Flying with kids can be…well, interesting. Between balancing nap and meal schedules, time zones and preparing for every possible situation, it can be stressful and cumbersome for everyone involved. While…

    Where to next? How we select our travel destinations.

    December 1, 2019 millionmilermom

    Back in my twenties, selecting a destination was easy. I browsed travel brochures or attended travel shows, something caught my eye and bam, it was booked. Now, with another adult…

Cheers to a 3 day weekend 🥳 . . Started off the Cheers to a 3 day weekend 🥳 . . Started off the weekend with a park play date and excited to get an extra day off! . . What are your plans for the long weekend? . . #travelmom #momlife #mommyandson #momblog #mommyblogger #gapkids #gaplove #morganhill #millionmilermom #presidentsweekend
My husband and I met traveling so it's no surprise My husband and I met traveling so it's no surprise that we love getaways together. With each kid we've had, it has become harder and harder to find childcare (even from family, 3 kids is no joke!). Usually, we get one night away once, maybe twice, a year. . . A few years ago, we were able to get THREE nights away (only had two kids and they were at relatively easy ages). We flew to Los Angeles to see friends and then headed up to Ventura County where we did a day trip to the Channel Islands. Such a gorgeous place and lots of ways to explore: camping, hiking and kayaking to name a few. . . In the spirit of Valentine's Day, what's been your favorite getaway with your significant other? . . #travelmom #travel #traveling #travelfamily #travelblog #travelblogger #discoverunder500 #discoverunder1k #channelislands #channelislandsnationalpark #santacruzisland #venturacounty #couplesgetaway #couplegoals #coupleswhotravel #parentsnightaway #kidfreevacation #millionmilermom
Instagram vs. Reality: our smiling first time bowl Instagram vs. Reality: our smiling first time bowler and the "behind the scenes" where we were chasing an 18 month old around the alley and trying to stop him from just running down the lane 😜 . . We finally were organized enough to try bowling as a family. This spot, located inside our local Bass Pro Shop, is usually very busy with long waits. We got there early today and were in line about 10 minutes before opening and scored a lane straightaway! And, with our @groupon deal, only $26 for an hour for up to six people, shoe rental and a pitcher of beer or soda! . . Have you tried bowling with kids? How did your experience go? . . #momblog #travelmom #travelblogger #adventuresathome #lovewhereyoulive #bowling #bowlingwithkids #firsttimebowlers #firsttimebowling #familyouting #familyfunday #unclebucksfishbowl #bassproshop
New blog post: planning one-on- one trips with you New blog post: planning one-on- one trips with your children (link on bio). . . As soon as I had my second child, I learned I needed to be more conscious about spending time with each of them individually. Add a third into the mix and I really need to be thoughtful! . . Jessica from @flyingwithfour posted about one-on-one outings with mom and it resonated so much with me. Starting last summer (when the baby turned one and was no longer nursing), I decided to start doing more of this. Because of my love of travel, I decided to do stuff at home but also plan long weekend getaways with each child. . . The experience has been amazing! The kids love the undivided attention and we get to visit a new place. Often times, we meet up with friends and, many times, we'll indulge in some treats! . .

Europe on your radar for a summer trip? Go off the Europe on your radar for a summer trip? Go off the beaten path and check out Slovenia. On a trip to Austria, we decided to tack on time in Ljubljana and were pleasantly surprised. It was absolutely stunning! And so much to do in the city and within a short driving distance. . . Travel tip: definitely check out Lake Bled. It's gorgeous but busy. Be sure to drive past Lake Bled to Lake Bohinj and enjoy a more peaceful setting. We rented kayaks, let the kids splash in the shallow, clear water and had a lakeside picnic. A lot less amenities so pack food but plan on spending hours here! . . #travel #traveltips #travelwithkids #travelmom #travelwithbaby #travelwithtoddler #travelblogger #familytravel #familytravelblogger #discoverunder1k #lakebohinj #lakebled #slovenia #visitslovenia #ifeelsLOVEnia #myway #europewithkids #sloveniawithkids #millionmilermom
Are you heading anywhere for President's Week? Las Are you heading anywhere for President's Week? Last year, we went down to Guanacaste, Costa Rica with friends and had a great time. . . From the US, it's a pretty easy flight down to San Jose or Liberia. Lots of options for ground transport...ours even provided car seats for the kids! . . Between the jungles and beaches, Costa Rica offers so much to see and do for all ages. Even with a baby, we still left our resort a few times. For older kids, lots of cool options like zip lining, snorkeling and checking out volcanoes 🌋 . . If you've been, what has been your Costa Rican highlight? . . #travel #travelwithkids #travelmom #travelwithbaby #travelwithtoddler #travelblogger #familytravel #familytravelblogger #discoverunder1k #visitcostarica #guanacastecostarica #costaricawithkids #presidentsweektravel

Monterey is my family's go-to day trip for so many Monterey is my family's go-to day trip for so many reasons... lots to do, great food and that crisp ocean air! Only a little over an hour from our house, we usually head down in the morning as soon as we're up and ready. . . First stop is either First Awakenings for the BEST breakfast or the Monterey Bay Aquarium. We usually try to get to the aquarium when it opens as it usually starts to get crowded around noon. Between the exhibits and kids play area, we usually spend about 2 hours here. They do offer in/out privileges with admission. Late afternoon when they are about to close is my other favorite time to be here. . . After lunch, we head over to the beach or the Dennis the Menace Playground. This playground is huge! Something for all ages. Plus paddle boats to rent! Today, we got sandwiches and did a picnic here to take advantage of the nice day. Parking in the lot next to the playground can get busy... there's a second lot closer to the skate park and then you can walk around (from Camino Aguajito, turn onto Pearl and this lot is the first right turn). . . Have you been to Monterey, California? What's your favorite thing to do? . . #travel #travelwithkids #travelmom #travelwithbaby #travelwithtoddler #travelblogger #familytravel #familytravelblogger #discoverunder1k #visitmonterey #montereybayaquarium #centralcoast #northerncalifornia #visitcalifornia #teacollection #aquarium #bestplaygrounds #bestparks #canneryrow #millionmilermom
