Saving and Sharing Family Travel Memories
Oklahoma City Start
Kicking off a family roadtrip from Oklahoma to North Dakota – re-engaging in our plan to visit all 50 states together. The boys may or may not have dubbed this “the Boring States” trip, but from our initial stop, we aren’t experiencing it that way. We arrived mid-day into Oklahoma City and headed straight to…
Wild Romania
In between our two extended family trips, we had a stopover in Romania. The intent was to recharge, connect into work for the week and have some space to explore leisurely. We rented a home in Fundatica, built by two brothers, “The Chalet Deux Freres.” We cooked at home every night until our last evening…
It’s a wrap, in Vienna
We had a brief stop in Vienna before heading home. To see as much as possible, we scheduled a walking tour in the morning to explore the city center of Vienna. It’s a very beautiful area and just as walkable as the other Central European spots but with what feels like grumpier drivers. We started at…
New Years in Prague
For our Prague visit, we stayed in an apartment that was walking distance from the Christmas Markets and center of town. It was nice to have a bit space and love the walkability. Day 1 // Breakfast today was a traditional Kolache – particularly traditional for William (plum and poppy seed), fruity for the boys…
Central European Holidays – Beginning in Budapest
Our trip to Central Europe is primarily centered around spending New Years in Prague with Rawlings’ godfather, Paul Evans, but we decided to extend on either side of this visit, starting in Budapest. Day 1 // We started walking towards the city center – initially towards a bakery, Artizan, that turned out to be closed…
The Seaman
We packed up at Finch Bay hotel late morning after a great breakfast — and made our way back to the Baltra airport (small boat > taxi > ferry > bus). All straightforward in that there is only one option in terms of where to go for these things but there’s such limited development here…
Las Grietas + Porto Ayora
We had our first lazier morning where everyone was up by 7am(!), but it was nice not have to rush anywhere. After a really nice breakfast at our place, we swam a bit at the place. A highlight on Santa Cruz is called Las Grietas and it’s a few minute walk from the hotel to its…
Bartolome Island
Wow….! Pretty incredible day here – can’t recall a day feeling quite so magical. We met a small group ~10 to take a great boat trip out to Bartolome Island, leaving the downtown area around 7am and arriving to Bartolome around 10am. On the way we saw so many sea turtles, sharks, sea lions, birds…
Galapagos Arrival + Tortugas
Today, we arrived in the Galapagos and we’re all a bit in awe of the arrival today – we arrived around 1pm today to the airport on Baltra Island – where we found our guide for the afternoon (Isabel). We took a couple minute shuttle to a Ferry to cross to Santa Cruz island. On…
Otavalo Exploration
Today we toured with a local guide, Ivan, who met us at our hotel and we drove north of the city towards Otavalo. After clearing the busy city area, we drove through a beautiful, mountainous area and saw many local farms – roses are a significant part of local export businesses and there are many…
