National Park Week
by Hilarye
Arches National Park
Did you know that this weekend kicks off National Park Week? What the heck is that you ask? It’s an awesome week where the National Park Service waives fees for entrance at all 392 of their National Parks! It runs April 17- April 25 and chances are you live near one- so get out and enjoy the outdoors and the beauty of this great country! Yellowstone, Yosemite, Grand Canyon- yup all free! Save yourself $25 bucks! What better way to celebrate Earth Day (April 22)?
For more information on National Park Week visit the National Park Service’s website.
How To Sleep On An Airplane

Reid counting sheep on an airplane
I am not the world’s best sleeper regardless of the circumstances. I have had trouble sleeping at night as far back as I can remember. I’m very sensitive to noise, light and other disturbances (mainly all of the thoughts racing through my mind). Because of that I often suffer from insomnia and tend to be grouchier then the average person in the morning. On the other side there is Reid, who falls asleep at the drop of a hat and can sleep through a space alien attack. Yup- suffice it to say it can be pretty frustrating to be married to such a good sleeper when you are a crummy one! Read the rest of this entry »
How To Get A Baby A Passport
by Hilarye
The more important question- why would you get your baby a passport? Why would you put yourself through the misery of traveling with an infant across the border? I’m teasing of course. BabyTravels has her passport. We got it in the mail about a month ago. Cutest passport picture ever- I might add. So why did we decide to do it? Well…for legal reasons really- all U.S. citizens need a passport to enter and leave most foreign countries. Since we do have a few foreign excursions planned for this year, we opted to get her one.
My Favorite Travel Tips
by HilaryeEveryone could use a little advice now and then. And let’s be honest- when was the last time you knew everything about a particular subject? There’s so much information out there to sift through, but hidden out there on the web are some really good tips available that people need and are looking for.
For instance, when I got back from my first cruise I wrote a blog post about cruising for the first time- packed with information I wish I had known before I left. To make it easier for those who are looking for information, I created this roundup of all my favorite travel tips and advice. Look through it- there may be something that interests you.
