Spring Break in Chile Part Two – the Atacama Desert with Kids We traveled to Chile for spring break largely because of Patagonia – one of the most beautiful destinations anywhere.

I started the year in Thailand, then moved on to the Philippines, Taiwan, the US, Tanzania, Kenya, Switzerland, Germany, Jamaica, China, Sri Lanka, Ireland, Hungary, Italy, Denmark, Norway, Iceland, the UK, France,… Read More
The Background / Australian Animals When my oldest daughter was three, she came home from Pre-K and said that she wanted to go to Antarctica to see penguins. Great I thought – I’d love to go to Antarctica to see penguins too! I did a little research and found that… Read More
