Their bags are packed, the sunburned skin has healed (although it’s still peeling) and the Castenadas are ready to go home to Iowa. We’ve had an incredible week of fun, but their flight doesn’t take off until 4pm and it’d be a shame to spend the day just waiting for a flight. After all, we […]
If you’ve read a few of our posts you know that we travel and do many adventures with our children. How many of you think that traveling with kids is tough? We slow travel this globe with a 3 & 1 year old and can definitively say that traveling with children is not hard. But, […]
