Highlights of San Salvador
Hola El Salvador! We finally made it! A had indeed pulled off an incredible surprise, and finally touching down in San Salvador was a dream come true. I never expected to end up with this stamp in my passport. First impressions? The customs process is smoother than the car rental process. But we weren’t about…

Second Breakfast in Honduras
I’d been wanting to keep these posts in chronological order, but this story is too good to wait on…. so let’s jump ahead a bit. It’s always been a dream of mine to conquer the whole of Central America. But Honduras, much like El Salvador, was always one of those countries that seemed off limits…

Is it because I jinx myself by writing about it? This is twice in a row it’s happened now. I talk about how I hope things will go smoothly and…

Guatemala con niños
Is it just me, or does it seem like there are so many rules associated with parenting and daily life nowadays? And let’s not forget all the people judging you on those rules and nit-picking everything that you do (or you don’t do). Sometimes life at home can become so demanding and overwhelming that it…

Going to the Sun Road
Did you know there’s a highway in Glacier National Park that’s only available to the world for a few months out of the whole year? This 51 mile stretch of blacktop usually opens around June or July, and closes again in October due to the disastrous conditions that winter brings with it. And by a…

Backpacking with Car Seats
I’ll admit it. I’m that mom that’s a car seat freak. I’m up to date on all the latest best-practice updates and follow Facebook groups that advocate for keeping kids rear-facing for as long as possible. I’m super anal about car seat safety (maybe to a fault) and have always done everything I can to…
