THE JARDINS
Marrakesh has a dozen or so jardins, built as oases to help people escape from the craze of the city. We visited two! While they were both beautiful, I wouldn’t call either one a respite. They were insanely crowded, and I’ve never seen as many influencers in one spot before in my life. But it Continue reading

THE SOUKS
The souks are intense. Before arriving, I erroneously thought a “souk” was a contained market area that you could enter/exit as needed. But I was so wrong. (Most) Every street in the Medina is lined with shops. You can’t get anywhere without having to walk through alley after alley, all jam-packed with souks and everything Continue reading

SHEEP BRAINS? OK, I GUESS.
The thumbnail doesn’t match the title, I know. But you have to work to get to the sheep brains part. I can’t just give that away! Joe and I have been on several gastronomy tours during our travels and loved them! So, I convinced L to give one a try, as she had never been! Continue reading

THE SIDECAR
The first adventure we undertook was a 3hr motorcycle tour…complete with sidecar! I mean, how else would three of us fit?! We met our guide at some random intersection and climbed aboard! As we weaved in and out of traffic, I could tell that our driver was certainly being conservative for our sake…and I was Continue reading

In exchange, said partner helps Continue reading

EXPECTO PATRONUM!
One last hurrah for this family before the school grind starts again. Last summer we started reading Harry Potter with T1 and the whole family has really jumped aboard the Hogwarts Train! Don’t be mistaken, our Jedi hasn’t given up the Force, but being a Potterhead has certainly helped him have something to chat about Continue reading

BOG SNORKELING CHAMPIONSHIPS
I don’t even know where to start with this one! So, I guess I’ll start at the beginning. Forewarning: this is a long one, so grab yourself a beverage and settle in! As we very often do, the kids and I were paging through our UK Kids book and came upon the ‘Silly Sports’ page. Continue reading

IT’S OFFICIAL! A NEW FAVE!
I know, I know. There has been more than sufficient posts on castles. But this one was incredible, so don’t scroll past it! We spent the remainder of our day in Brecon Beacons National Park exploring Carreg Cennen Castle. And it is officially my favorite castle to date! The views from the ruins were absolutely Continue reading

BRECON BEACONS NATIONAL PARK
On our first day in Wales, we wanted to enjoy Brecon Beacons National Park, but weren’t exactly sure how to do it. Hiking was out because T3 quits after 0.0 miles. Biking was out because T2 taps out at 3.2 miles. Boating was off the table because we knew the adults would have to do Continue reading
