Have tub, will travel! 🛀 👧🏼 🌎
Traveling can be cumbersome and exhausting, and doing so with kids only amplifies the challenges. Whether it is a road, airline, or camping trip, kids undoubtedly complicate things and the thought of the obstacles surrounding a trip can sometimes be stifling or even create such a road block to cancel or postpone the notion all together! We know, we’ve been there!
Even after 80,000+ miles of traveling with our daughter, no trip is perfect and nor is it without obstacle or hiccup. Our trips haven’t always been easy, but we’ve learned a few things that have made our adventures more fun and most important, doable!
One of the most common questions we get is how we manage all of our travel with a little one. We put together six lessons learned to share with you and your family in hopes it will inspire you to try, or retry, traveling with kids.

This melts our hearts! 💞 One of our favorite moments from our mini snowshoe adventure. ❄️
Oh to be young again! We are enjoying introducing Mar to all the joys of snow and even the chores most of us dread are fun for her. We were quickly reminded that even the things we adults take for granted are new and remarkable to a toddler.
She resisted putting on her big bulky boots at first but then we’d remind her “we’re going to play in snow!”, and then she’d change her tune.
Even though enjoying the snow at a toddler’s pace slows us down a bit, we try to remember that, like all things, exposure is fun and exciting for her and knowing this makes the slower pace both bearable and enjoyable for us! 👱🏼♀️👱🏼♂️👧🏼
Cross-country skiing has been on list to do for years. We aren’t exactly sure why we waited so long, and for our first experience to include towing a toddler, but the pulka made it fun for Mar and we couldn’t stop smiling and laughing.
We had so much fun trying out cross-country skiing for the first time. We rented a pulk to tow Mar in and she loved it! We can’t wait to get back out there after nap time!! ❄️
Firefall 2020!!! 🔥 Don’t worry, you haven’t missed it yet, but the right time of year is just around the corner. We put together a few tips from our experience last year like when to go, where to watch that doesn’t require staking out a spot hours in advance, and a hack to keep infants and toddlers cozy for the event. Check out the link in our bio for the blog post.
Happy little camper! 🏕 👧🏼
It’s been a bit easier around camp lately as Mar gets older. She’s able to climb around Bruce by herself 🙌 which is a MAJOR milestone for our travels. She has also taken a deeper interest in the nature around her, and often spends her time looking at rocks, sticks, or leaves which gives us a few moments to set up meals...or just relax around camp. Plus she has started to learn how to put items back, so she’s beginning to pitch in on a toddler scale! 😉 #happycampers
