Bath & Cotswolds with Kids: English Countryside Itinerary & Travel Guide

Bath and the Cotswolds! This was the second leg of our epic two-week UK and Ireland adventure, and honestly, it was a great change of pace after our busy London days. I was so excited to visit this area and to soak up the quintessential English charm! Everywhere we went I  just kept saying this is so charming, this feels like a fairytale, etc. Here’s all the details about how we spent our time in this area! WHERE WE STAYED We stayed at The Bath Priory and LOVED our stay here! The hotel felt like its own English manor house and was so charming, centrally […]

Kid-Friendly London Itinerary & Travel Guide

Kid-Friendly London Itinerary & Travel Guide

London! We started our family summer European adventures in London. As a quick refresher, we spent two weeks this July in the UK and Ireland. Nashville Airport (BNA) recently added more nonstop international flights (yay!) which made this trip possible – we’ve never gotten to fly direct to Europe from Nashville before! This wasn’t my first time in London (E and I went in 2016 – blog post here – and 2019), but experiencing it as a family of five was completely different and so special! The girls were absolutely enchanted by everything – from the red phone boxes to the palace guards to Platform […]

Kid-Friendly Ireland Itinerary & Travel Guide

Kid-Friendly Ireland Itinerary & Travel Guide

We recently did a two week trip to the UK and Ireland with our three kids (ages 7, 5, and 9 months)! While this wasn’t our first international trip with all three (we went to Aruba for spring break), it definitely felt like a more complex one! We were gone for 14 days between four different destinations and did a LOT of on-the-go adventuring: three flights, a train ride, two different rental cars, several double decker bus and subway rides and quite a few long travel days. We were in the UK for the first part of the trip and Ireland for the second part, […]

Travel Adventures: Hocking Hills

Travel Adventures: Hocking Hills

We recently drove up to Ohio for my sister’s Ohio wedding reception and then did a few days as a family in Hocking Hills. I can’t believe this was my first time there, especially given I went to college only thirty minutes away. Located about an hour outside of Columbus in southeast Ohio, the Hocking Hills area is home to Hocking Hills State Park, as well as several lakes and nature preserves. It was such a beautiful, peaceful place to visit, especially if you like the outdoors, and it was very family-friendly. Here’s how we spent our recent visit! We will absolutely be back! HIKING […]
