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!🌈

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!

Ok guys. This is family travel reality right here. Ok guys. This is family travel reality right here. I can pretty much guarantee the following was happening when I snapped this pic:
1. The boys were being annoying 
2. Kevin was telling them to stop 
3. Cameron was pretending that she never does anything wrong🙄

So, let’s try to keep things real, ok?

Yes, I love traveling with my kids.
But sometimes (a lot of the time!) they drive me crazy! ✌️

And we're off. James just hasn't a clue what's going on 🤣 Soooooo excited for our first trip to Mexico and our first stay in a tuiuk #Sensatori 🙌🙌 The ten and a half hour plane ride will definitely be painful, but I know its absolutely going to be worth it. azulbeachresorts look really #childfriendly... and provide all the baby essentials, including steriliser, changing table and even a stroller!!
.
.
Keep your eyes peeled over the next couple of weeks... I'll be sharing highlights on my stories and will eventually be popping travel tips over on the blog 👀👀 .
.
I cannot wait to get by that pool tomorrow (later today I'm not even going to try 😴😴). Even more so because I'm feeling pretty body confident at the moment! I've been eating healthily over the past few weeks, and as well as keeping active with my walks I've been toning up with my kindly #gifted movewithmumma online membership. If you want to have a gander at what that's all about, head over to her website and try the free online membership before you commit to the paid full access.

So bye for now! See you on the (much sunnier) other side ☀️☀️☀️

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 😉 .

“Collect moments, not things.” I have this quo “Collect moments, not things.” I have this quote sitting on my desk on a beautiful wooden plaque that my late husband and I picked up on one of our trips to Key West. It is such a great reminder to make moments.
.
Since the new moon last week, I’ve felt some shifts…creative energy shifts. It reminded me I am in control of my life. I can turn dreams into realities. So I started thinking about what I wanted for the remainder of this year. I mean, its been a crap shoot of a year so far, am I right? I wanted to be specific about my intentions and make them really freaking awesome.
.
I decided I wanted to adventure more. I love camping, being outside, hiking, watching the sunset, sitting my a fire, waking up and having a cup of hot coffee outside. I try to incorporate all of this in our lives at home, but some times you just need a chance of scenery. 
.
I’ve started researching bigger cars, ones that can tow a small trailer. Trailer with a bathroom, heat and air conditioning are a must. I know, I’m more of a glamper than a camper, but if mama ain’t happy ain’t nobody happy. lol. I own it. I’m ok with that. 😉
.
So as I plan out our fall and maybe even winter activities, I’m curious to know where are your favorite places to visit? Northeast, down south, out west, doesn’t matter..What we don’t get to this fall, we’ll plan for next year. I’m thinking a National Park trip in the next year or so..🏕
.
So take a second to daydream or reminisce. Where would you go if you could go anywhere in the states or Canada. Lakeside? Beaches? Mountains? I’d love to hear all the details of your magical places!✨

NOLA, I know we just met you but we love you alrea NOLA, I know we just met you but we love you already!  We fell in love with your history, cuisine, music, and atmosphere.  #HostedByHCV

Today hiclubvacations is celebrating their official opening of their New Orleans Resort, and we loved ringing in the new year at their brand new resort a few weeks ago! We stayed in a newly renovated, 2 bedroom Signature Collection villa. It was super spacious for our 3 little ones and we truly had everything we needed for our week long stay!

The resort is located just a block from Bourbon Street — which made it so easy to get around the city by walking and riding streetcars. Everyone in the Butan Clan got a taste of the amazing culture — even just from walking down the streets.

NOLA, we saw so much and though we had to leave, we are already looking forward to the next time we get to see you again! 🥰

If you missed our time in NOLA make sure you check out our Highlights HCV NOLA

Glow rhswisley - keeping the festive feeling going Glow rhswisley - keeping the festive feeling going.

Back in October when the illusion was life would be more normal, I did a flurry of Christmas activity bookings to the point where I actually forgot about this one 🙉! It was only when I was searching through my inbox for something else, I remembered I’d booked it 🤦🏼‍♀️.

Given that 2021 has started off even bumpier than anticipated and is probably set to get even more unsettled, it was a great tonic to lift all our spirits. I also got to try out my new phone camera and I’m very impressed with it’s nighttime capabilities (see stories and let me know what you think).

Have you ever booked something and then forgotten all about it? Please tell me I’m not the only one ⬇️!

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 😊

These two continue to teach me so much about what These two continue to teach me so much about what is important in life and I am loving sharing their journeys.⁠
⁠
I often think back to the day I was standing in a queue at the post office getting Finley's first passport. He was 2 weeks old.⁠
⁠
I must have had "the look" because a lady next to me asked "your first?". We got to chatting and she mentioned her kids were grown. I asked her what hers were like as babies and she told me she "couldn't really remember".⁠
⁠
SHOCK AND HORROR 😂 ⁠
⁠
As a brand new Mum I immediately judged, thinking what kind of mother cannot remember her baby at 2 weeks old!⁠
⁠
HA - As the saying goes: live and learn. She was right though. It is amazing what you forget. But unlike our parents generation, being the digital generation we are, we have LOADS of snaps to help jog our memories. ⁠
⁠
What really stuck with me though is her saying that being a Mum just keeps getting better. At the time, I again thought she was a fruitloop because seriously how could anything be better than having a 2 week old in your life?⁠
⁠
BUT... she was absolutely correct... AGAIN. ⁠
⁠
The boys are now their own people, with their own thoughts, likes and opinions. They are developing into these mini men at a rate that is often hard to comprehend, but is so much fun to be a part of.⁠
⁠
They rule my heart. ⁠
⁠
The older they get the more fun they become, I love nothing more than to enjoy a coffee or a meal with them and see where their conversation takes us. ⁠
⁠
Chalk and cheese, my greatest wish is that they are always there for each other. There to support their chosen journeys through life and there to share the memories of their days travelling the world with their parents.⁠
⁠
Do you have a favourite stage so far with your kids?⁠
⁠

As budget travelers we are very careful about spen As budget travelers we are very careful about spending money on attractions. But, The Sea to Sky Gondola in Squamish was definitely worth every penny. They have done such a great job of this site - a shiny new gondola, great hiking trails and viewing platforms at the top, a fun suspension bridge, kids playground and ice cream and beer with a view. And of course the views of Howe Sound - the kids’ first sight of the Pacific from North America, and the mountains were pretty sweet. seatoskygondola tourismsquamish

We’ve had a lovely few days staying in our house. My parents had the boys while we took the girls canoeing. It was great to do something with them as they often don’t get as much attention as they should. ⁣

The girls were initially grumpy about the activity but did enjoy it. I really enjoyed it. The river was so peaceful we were the only ones on there. ⁣

It feels ace to be able to do these sorts of activities again. ⁣

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

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?

We made it! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿Three days We made it! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿Three days of travel, three kids and about 33 pieces of luggage later we are ready to begin our new life here in Aberdeen...after our quarantine stint;)
•
We left here for France as newlyweds almost 13 years ago, just the two of us.  With minimal luggage, no expectations and no clue where it would all lead.
From France we moved to Norway, Texas and Saudi collecting fridge magnets and babies along the way!
•
Now we are back with much more luggage, 3 extra humans and still no clue where it will all lead!  There’s so much to think about and organize but for now I’m enjoying the little things...fresh air when I open a window, filing the kettle from the sink, hanging the washing outside and a bottle of Prosecco chilling in the fridge (sorry Saudi chums 😳)!
•
We don’t know if that’s the end of our time living abroad, but for now this is home and for the kids this is “abroad” because they’ve never lived here! Everything is exciting for  them and seeing it through their eyes, I’m realizing how much we took for granted before. 
We can’t wait to go looking for a family home, get out exploring and meet up with friends and family!! Nine days to go 😷 until then I’ll mostly be hanging out washing and filling the kettle from the tap!
•
Dunne family b&b will be opening soon for anyone that wants to come visit 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿♥️

I would like a bit of luxury (and will be celebrating my Husband’s 40th) but also to be able to explore easily and safely. Possibly hiring a car? .

🤩We’ve finally joined the paddle-board gang a 🤩We’ve finally joined the paddle-board gang and bought possibly the last board in the whole of the UK. So far so good … four of us christened it on our much-anticipated (socially distanced) short break to gorgeous Herefordshire and the River Wye at the weekend. Notice no pic of me yet ... thought I’d  spare you my old lady clenching everything for dear life stance!  How’s your paddle boarding? Elegant, like this pair, or awkwardly tense, like me? I did chalk up a couple more 🏊‍♀️wild swims for a 5O WILD SWIMS BEFORE 50 mission though (so far I’ve managed the grand total of … 4 … so just a few more to go!). Though I do love a beach, we don’t have any very nearby, so we are starting to discover our local rivers instead. I’m in a LOT of wild swimming and outdoorsy Facebook groups now and suddenly alarmingly aware of currents, water hygiene etc etc, and don’t get me started on what makes a perfect wetsuit or changing robe. I’m not sure I’ll ever be hard-core, but enjoying a bit of fair-weather family watersports and swimming for now.

One of the unexpected benefits of our rural glamping break this weekend was there was no wifi, so we had to do a digital detox. It was brilliant! We realised that during lockdown we’ve become even more screen-obsessed, so it was a timely break from all things digital, and also a revelation in terms of how dependent we have become on our phones not just to connect to real life, but also as a tool when travelling — to research the local area, check the weather or find a shop, for example. It all felt very old-school and properly refreshing, and forced us to s l o w right down.

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.
