There is a lot of guilt attached to this picture.. There is a lot of guilt attached to this picture... it’s January 2021 and we’re in the middle of a global pandemic. Yet, here we are in Florida. We were so unsure about whether or not we were doing the right thing, that we waited until 48 hours before departure to book our condo 😬 But the flight was pretty empty. We’ve been wearing masks. We’re in our own place. Pool crowds are sparse. Groceries have been delivered. Kids are doing virtual school. And we’re getting some much needed sun. So I’m going to try to push that guilt aside and enjoy these moments as much as possible✨

It’s not everyday you find a Tyrannosaurus Rex i It’s not everyday you find a Tyrannosaurus Rex in the middle of the woods! 🦖⠀ And, it’s even more surprising when those woods are in the middle of nowhere Alabama! 🤯⠀ ⠀ I thought I’d go through our past trips, State by State, and share our favorite spots and tips for visiting for when all of this virus stuff is over. ⠀ ⠀ So mind as well start at the beginning of the alphabet... First up, Alabama! ⠀ ⠀ Awesome road side attractions are essential for any great road trip, ESPECIALLY with kids, and the Dinosaurs in the Woods in Elberta, Alabama are a must stop. ⠀ Who would have guessed you could find T-Rex and three of his friends hanging out down there?? ⠀ When we heard about them, we knew we had to check it out while on our Spring Break Road Trip of 2019.⠀ Check out our stories for more pics and see who else we found. ⠀ Hint: 🦕 ⠀ ⠀ ✨How to find the Dinosaurs in the Woods...⠀ Address: Barber Parkway, Elberta, Alabama⠀ ⠀ 1. Drive US Hwy 98 either eight miles east of Foley, AL, or 21 miles west of downtown Pensacola, FL. ⠀ ⠀ 2. Turn south onto County Rd 95. Drive five miles. ⠀ ⠀ 3. Turn right onto Fish Trap Rd. Drive a half-mile. ⠀ ⠀ 4. Turn left at the Barber Marina sign. Drive one mile. ⠀ On the right, you’ll find Bamahenge (another fun road side attraction worth a peek, see more in our stories and highlight bubble) set back among the trees. ⠀ ⠀ The dinosaurs are spaced out along the road beginning a quarter-mile past Bamahenge, starting with T-Rex. ⠀ ⠀ Hint: Brontosaurus is the hardest to find, but you’ll see him hiding in the trees by the curve in the road 😉 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #dinosaursinthewoods #elbertaalabama #explorealabama #familyroadtrip #throwbacktrips #familyroadtripping #roadtripkids #traveltheusa #takethetrip #kidsthattravel #familyvacations #ourtribetravels #familytraveltribe #familieswhotravel #familytravels #goadventuretogether #travelwithkids #havekidswilltravel #familytravel #familyadventures #awesometravelkids #childhoodunplugged #littleexplorers #kidswhoexplore #littletravellersnetwork #littleexplorersclub #adventuremomnation #famtrav20 #lewisfamcoast2coast

STAYCATION DONE! . . ...and just like that it’s STAYCATION DONE! . . ...and just like that it’s all done...our first staycation in a long time and our first holiday post COVID-19. If I have to give you one piece of advice it would be to research research research where you’re going. There are still lots of places not open yet or running at a very reduced service. It’s a shame because I always loved a little bit of the element of surprise when going on holiday; hoping I’d uncover a gem when we got there. However in this new world it’s a little difficult. For example, some restaurants remain closed, are offering a different menu or are only allowing half the number of diners in than they normally would. We also found a number attractions are remaining closed until mid-August while they finalise arrangements. Perhaps further through the summer this will all change, who knows, but it can never hurt to be prepared! . . . #familytravel #travellingwithkids #exploreengland #loveuk #childhoodunplugged #motherhoodunplugged #ukmum #familylife #familytrip #daysoutwithkids #ourtribetravels #familytravels #thelakedistrict #thewesternlakes #lakedistrict #staycation #ukstaycation #lakedistrictwithkids #makeamazingmemories

Since moving to the East Coast, we’ve found and Since moving to the East Coast, we’ve found and explored quite a few lighthouses. Our favorite has been the Tybee Island Lighthouse on Tybee Island, Georgia. ⠀ ⠀ Located just off the coast of the historic city of Savannah, Tybee Island has a lot to offer, but if there’s one thing you do during your visit (other than hit the beach), it’s climbing the 178 stairs to the top of the lighthouse for an amazing 360° view of the island and ocean!⠀ See more in our Georgia stories and highlight bubble. ⠀ Try and spot some dolphins once you reach the top! 🐬⠀ ⠀ Tip: plan for some extra time exploring the lighthouse museum and gift shop, the surrounding housing, and across the street the Endicott Gun Batteries. If your group is 13 yrs or older, take a tour of the battery, too!⠀ ⠀ Would you climb to the top? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #tybeeislandlighthouse #tybeeislandgeorgia #exploregeorgia #lighthousesofinstagram #tinybigadventures #familyfuntime #takethetrip #traveltheusa #ourtribetravels #famtrav20 #familytravel #familyadventures #parentswhowander #awesometravelkids #littletravelpros #travelbrood #familytrips #lewisfamtravelthrowbacks #lewisfamcoast2coast

We are on the second day of lockdown in Nepal. We We are on the second day of lockdown in Nepal. We were thinking about staying here then, before we knew it, the country was on lockdown and all flights were suspended so the decision was taken out of our hands. I feel good about being here. We are in a very welcoming, family run hotel who have said they will look after us for as long as we are here. They cook for us, we have a balcony, a roof terrace and a small garden, we can leave to get food and medicine and we have Internet, phew! One of the biggest reasons I’m happy we’re here is that it’s not that much of a change for Honor. Yes, she knows we can’t go out for walks or play dates (there is another British family with two boys Honor’s age riding this thing out in a hotel over the road from us), but being together as a family of three, living in a small space, in a hotel, FaceTiming grandma and grandad and homeschooling are very normal to her. I couldn’t imagine the heart ache she would have experienced if we had returned to the UK and then had to tell her she couldn’t see anyone or play with her friends. So here we are, we don’t know how long we’ll be here, all we know is that we’ll have to wait a little bit longer than we expected for our hugs with friends and family and grandma’s Sunday roast. . . . . #silverlinings #cosmickidsyoga #lockdownnepal #lockdown #stuckinnepal #nepalwithkids #travelkids #fulltimetravel #fulltimetravelfamily #backpackingfamily #nomadicfamily #ourtribetravels #nepal

One thing you should know about our family is that One thing you should know about our family is that we are HUGE UNC fans! Mike went to graduate school there and I commuted to Chapel Hill just about every weekend for two years from my consulting job. You can’t spend any time in Chapel HIll and not become a devoted basketball fan! 🏀And naturally, we have raised our kids to bleed Carolina blue: they’ve always worn the gear, watched all the basketball games, fly the flag on game day, and have made multiple trips across the country to visit the campus. In 2016, we decided to follow the team to Maui for the Maui Invitational. 🌺🌴The tournament is held over Thanksgiving week every year in Lahaina, but UNC attends only every 4th year. That year, UNC won the entire tournament and we were there for every game! It was an amazing way to kick off the college basketball season. We decided from that point on, we would spend every 4th Thanksgiving on Maui cheering for the Tar Heels. 2020 is the year we were supposed to go back to Maui. The tournament wasn’t canceled, but it was moved to Asheville, NC and we decided not to go. It’s a bummer to miss out this year, but we’ll be cheering them on from home with our flag flying proud. Go Heels! Maui 2024!🌈

MONDAY MONDAY . . It comes round so quickly doesn’t it?!?! This week is a busy one for us, homeschooling continues as we prepare for my little boy’s 7th birthday! He had wanted a Pokemon bouncy castle party with his friends, but sadly that won’t be able to go ahead now. We have some surprises planned for him, which I hope he’ll enjoy just as much. . . This week we will hopefully hear confirmation of the plans for the “air bridges” enabling us to travel abroad. What do you think? Will it happen? Would you travel if you could? I have to be honest and say I’m not convinced...as much as I would love to hop on a plane, I think there are still too many risks - am I wrong? I’d love to know what you think.... . . For the moment, I think we’ll just be enjoying the beautiful beaches the UK has to offer like we did on Saturday. Hope you all have a good week 😊 . . . #familytravel #travellingwithkids #exploreengland #loveuk #familydayout #childhoodunplugged #motherhoodunplugged #lockdownlife #ukmum #familylife #familytrip #daysoutwithkids #ourtribetravels #familytravels #westwittering #ukcoast #staycation #ukbeach #ukbeaches #ukstaycation

We celebrated a special six year olds birthday yes We celebrated a special six year olds birthday yesterday. We started our day with a ninja obstacle course, opened presents after breakfast, and played all day. We literally had calls and video messages from all over the world. We definitely felt the love from near and far. ♥️ J was a total trooper and has continued to take everything in stride. He is a clever, creative, and imaginative child. When he "grows up" he wants to be an artist and a scientist. He loves Legos, music, and zooming around on his new bike and scooter. J has grown so much in this last year. He can befriend anyone. He is bilingual. He has a broader world view. He is more resilient. And he is more passionate and determined than ever. Cheers to another year of growth and adventure to my not so little six year old. . . . . . #birthdayboy #dreambig #globetrotter #globetrottingkids #parenting #parenthood #motherhood #momlife #mommyblogger #kidlife #momblogger #runwildmychild #letthemexplore #letthembewild #outdoorkids #wildandbravelittles #wildandfreechildren #travellingwithkids #travelwithkids #familyadventures #globallearning #worldisourplayground #travelwithlittles #adventurekids #loveyourtimetogether #ourtribetravels #travelfamily #worldschooling #weareworldschoolers #freespiritedchildhood

It's Sunday so it's #sunsetsunday there is a hasht It's Sunday so it's #sunsetsunday there is a hashtag so it must be a real thing, insta is so weird, maybe one day I will understand😉 This one is from Phu Quoc Island, have you been? One of the biggest disappointments of Phu Quoc Island would have to be the amount of trash, on the side of the roads and washed up on some of the beaches.  And one of the highlights of our three months in Vietnam would have to be the Phu Quoc cable car over to Pineapple Island, luckily last year it was still relatively new & not too popular. Sometimes the places that look pretty in all the pictures don't live up to your expectations.  The golden hand bridge in Da Nang is one for us, there are crowds of people once the tour buses arrive, it's like selfie central.  We had more fun at the fire breathing, water spitting dragon bridge in Da Nang, and it's free.  Where have you been that's been a let down from all the hype?? #sunsetsundays #sunsetphotography #sunsettravelofficial #travelpicsdaily #sunsetlover #sunset_love #sunset #phuquocisland #vietnamsunsets

Today we’ve been to visitconkers for the first t Today we’ve been to visitconkers for the first time and absolutely loved it! We paid £5 each to tackle the high ropes assault course which was such good value for money (swipe to see and check out our insta stories😆) Carmen volunteered herself to go first out of a group of 15 adults and children, so mama had no choice but to follow...wobbling and all over the place 😂 The indoor play area was shut sadly/understandably, but we spent our time in the outdoor huge play areas, maze, forest school, riding on the train and eating lots of ice cream ☺️ They had arts and crafts sessions in the tents which we didn’t have time to do, but can’t wait to try next time! Icing on the cake was randomly bumping into zenassuitcase for the first time after following each other for a few years haha 🤣😆
