AD | Got the pool to ourselves 🙌💦 #winningat AD | Got the pool to ourselves 🙌💦 #winningatlife It's so easy to get carried away and try and cram as many activities as possible into our stay here, but we hope to be travelling all summer and we've learned from previous travels that chill days are important. So today we mostly hung out at our campsite - lots of pool action, reading, and kids club - then we took the bikes into the village for ice-cream. It's only 1km into Le Bourg-d'Oisans and there are lots of cafes and restaurants to choose from, and cyclists everywhere! I thought for a moment I should get some lyrca to fit in, but then tucked into my ice-cream 😜ðŸ§. #lebourgdoisans #travelFrance #familytravel #vanfamtribe #vanlifeeurope #thealps #explorefrance

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

Do you like posed or natural pics? Here’s a pho Do you like posed or natural pics? Here’s a photo of my motley crew from Father’s Day enjoying a crazy moment together on the beach. This is half posed, half natural I guess, but I think I like the natural ones. I feel like I get the best pics this way. And this was right before my three munchkins started to fill their shoes with the pebbles on the beach 😊 Funnily enough I had a conversation about how sandy beaches are so much better than pebble beaches today. What do you think? Is a Sandy beach better? #sandybeach #sandybeaches #pebblebeach #southendbeach #southendonsea #southend #whatdoyouthink #familyshot #familyphotography #familypic #motleycrew #dayatthebeach #naturalpic #posedpic #posesforpictures #welltravelledmunchkins #welltravelledlife #welltravelledkids #daysout #essex #essexdaysoutwithkids #kidsexplore #travelblogger #familylove #timetogether #ourtribetravels #daysouttogether

Hands up if you love a model village 🙋ðŸ¼â€â™€ï¸? I don’t know what it is about them but I find them so charming and they transport you into such an idyllic way of living. bekonscotofficial certainly stole one of the top spots of a local (ish) day out for us. You could easily spend a couple of hours there wandering through the different scenes and spotting the meticulous attention to detail and a ride on the miniature train is an absolute must 🚂.

“You can never cross the ocean until you have th “You can never cross the ocean until you have the courage to lose sight of the shore†~ Christoper Columbus What a week this little man has had! He received an amazing school report which not only praised his accelerated academic progress this year but more importantly to us, celebrated his increase in resilience and confidence. He then turned 9 and was able to celebrate with his fab group of friends. And to top it off, within half an hour of finishing the school year, we’d packed the car up and driven six hours down to Cornwall! We’ve had a slow start to the holiday exploring our local beach and the nearest town. Unfortunately I’m not feeling 100% which is a rubbish way to start our holiday but I’m keeping everything crossed that after a good night’s sleep, I’ll be firing on all cylinders for a fun day out tomorrow.

Another beach photo, this time from our time on th Another beach photo, this time from our time on the Gower peninsula at half term. Lots of people recommended Three Cliffs Bay to me (including silvernuggetadventure who gave me loads of really helpful recommendations for our trip and thevanfam3 too). . It was every bit as beautiful as everyone told me. If you're not familiar with this beach then you might not be aware that the nearest parking is a mile away from the beach! It's definitely worth the walk. . I spent a bit of time reading up before hand on where to park and what the walk was like to help work out if it was practical with young kids (it's suitable for young kids but don't attempt a pram and certainly have a think about how much stuff you want to carry). . Yesterday I published my own blog post which answers all the questions I had so if you're heading there this summer head to the link in my profile to find out more. . Would you still visit a beach that you have to walk a mile to get to? Some of our favourite Welsh beaches involve a bit of a walk to get there. . #wildlingexplorers #ukexplore #familieswhotravel #familytravel #wishes_and_wanderlust #travelwithkids #daysoutwithkids #daysoutwiththekids #fearlessfamtrav #familytravelblog #snaphappybritmums #ourtribetravels #vanlifewithkids #mazdabongoowners #vanfamtribe #beautifulbritain #gowerpeninsula #gowercoast #wildandfreekids #wildhoodadventures #walkingwithkids #littleadventuredays #exploretheoutdoorswithus #explorerkids #whatevertheweatherkids #countrykidsfun #curiouslittleexplorers #theminiadventurehub

That time we went hiking in the Nepalese Himalayas That time we went hiking in the Nepalese Himalayas when the boys were just 2 and 4 years old 💚🇳🇵â£â£â£ â£â£â£ One of my coping mechanisms through lockdown was not to think about our travels, both past and future. I somehow managed to switch the tap off and lived each day as it came. It was totally unnatural to me, but for many weeks this worked. We only allowed ourselves to watch #racearoundtheworld last week 😂⣠Anyone else?⣠â£â£â£ But with borders opening and lockdown gradually easing, that tap has been burst open and our minds are in overdrive. For the past weeks we've been bouncing ideas around like a frantic pinball 🤯🤯🤯🤯, but the uncertainty of everything leads to a lack of commitment, which leads to frustration... and we tell ourselves we just need to be patient 🧘â€â™€ï¸â£â£â£ â£â£â£ Slowly but surely though, a new plan is forming... and I can almost see that open road...⣠🤞â£

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! ðŸ€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!🌈

Just your average Kiwi kid, having some pretty ext Just your average Kiwi kid, having some pretty extraordinary experiences 🇳🇿 Alice’s first time riding a pony... at the Yila Grasslands at Napa Lake in Shangri-La, Yunnan province, China 🴠- These horses have a pretty incredible history in this area. Here’s some info I read on chinahighlights if anyone’s interested... The Ancient Tea Horse Road (in China) was a trade route mainly through Yunnan, Sichuan, and Tibet. From the 6th century to the 20th century, people in Sichuan and Yunnan provinces traveled by foot and horseback with pack horses to exchange tea for horses with people in Tibet - and thus the pathway was called the Tea Horse Road. The Ancient Tea Horse Road was one of the highest and most precipitous ancient roads in the world, which has carried and spread civilization and culture for centuries. The Ancient Tea Horse Road rivaled the Silk Road trade routes for importance, and as the longest ancient trade road in the world, at more than 10,000 kilometers in length, but was certainly toughest to travel. The Tea Horse Road linked Sichuan, Yunnan, and Tibet, stretched across Bhutan, Sikkim, Nepal, and India, and then reached the Middle East, and even the Red Sea coast of Egypt.

Into the top 5 of my daughter's top 10 destination Into the top 5 of my daughter's top 10 destinations visited and it's wonderful Oman - we spent a week here a few years ago, although we packed it full and were both won over by the country. The highlight for us both? The desert. 🪠'I remember climbing up gigantic sand dunes to see the most amazing sunset ever (the long climb was worth it)' according to m 8yo. Which is pretty much my memory too. That and the silence, the dunes stretching off in every direction and endless, countless shades of gold, orange, burned, molten caramel. 🪠It was tough to pick one highlight, given that we saw dolphins in the sea off Muscat, watched a turtle laying eggs in the night and a baby hatching, soaked up the views across a canyon and discovered an oasis in the dry stony mountains. Just to name a few... 🧡🧡🧡

Our summer road trip is coming to an end and as th Our summer road trip is coming to an end and as the last few days tick down, I wish I could hit pause. I am savoring the last campfires, last hikes, last meals and reminiscing about the wonderful memories of the last 9 weeks. I am sad to leave the mountains, sad to leave our camping cocoon, sad to leave family, sad to move life indoors and sad to leave this simple life for the busy and unknown new covid normals of work and school. I know how fortunate we have been to have this adventure and hopefully in the fall I will have time to unpack the trip and share more stories and photos. We started this road trip still hoping that we might be able to head south on our big road trip in the new year. As the summer went on that looks less and less likely, but contingency plans are already in the works! Photo: the last big hike of the summer - Mt Revelstoke National Park - Eva Lake - 15 km - gorgeous wildflowers, Mountain View’s and this pretty lake. . . . . . . #canadaroadtrip #travelcanada #explorecanada #covidsummer #summervacation #travelwithkids #adventurefamily #ourtribetravels #takeyourkidseverywhere #goadventuretogether #outdoorkids #mountains #beautifulbritishcolumbia #mountrevelstokenationalpark #revelstoke #evalake #parkscanada #hikingwithkids

Let's talk ride height because this can make or br Let's talk ride height because this can make or break a vacation!â  â  At Universal I recommend being 42 inches to visit. This does not mean that kids under 42 can't visit or have nothing to do but a lot of the main attractions have a 42 inch or taller ride height.â  â  Our youngest is almost tall enough for all the attractions. He has a little ways to go for Hulk, maybe on our next visit! (54 in.) I actually can't believe he was tall enough for Velocicoaster but he loved it! (51 in.)â  â  If your child is not tall enough to ride but other people in your group want to ride Universal has a great child swap program. â  â  ðŸ‘©â€ðŸ‘§One adult stays with the child not riding while the others ride and then you switch. We have used this a lot and I really like this option. â  â  ðŸŽ¢My biggest tip is to take a look at the rides and attractions before you book your trip. Look for two things:â  1-height requirementsâ  2- scare factors or interestâ  â  I have an entire post on the blog about ride expectations.
