If you recall, a few months ago we shared about the Birds of Paradise yoga retreat I got to participate in and how amazing it was, both the yoga aspect and the destination of Isla Holbox. Following the trip to Isla Holbox we got a bunch of questions about the island, so here is the full rundown of how to
Our team of Dads all travel so differently and have their own favorite places. Frankie and BJ, writers of the Canadian dad-blog Family is About Love, enjoy returning to and exploring Isla Mujeres with kids year after year. They've highlighted the best spots and activities for families on this awesome island off the coast of Cancun and are sharing some
The Yucatan Peninsula is full of unique experiences from Mayan ruins and swimming with sea turtles to jumping into enormous natural swimming pools: cenotes. Cenotes are really a highlight to any Cancun vacation or road trip around the Yucatan and we’ve chosen our favorites, the best cenotes to visit in Mexico. This handy how-to guide is also full of information about
We will never not appreciate how colorful Mexico is. From our trips around Baja California Sur to road trippin’ on the Yucatan, there are always new places to enjoy. The colorful towns of the Yucatan are exceptionally cool and fun, and each is so different! OMG, road trip theme: colorful towns and street art. Okay, here you go! Your complete Yucatan
One of the most cool and unique aspects of touring the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico is the abundance of Mayan ruins. The Mayans were spread all across the Yucatan and down into Belize, Guatemala and beyond. They left behind thousands of small and large structures on the beaches and in the jungles. I spent several days exploring the Yucatan Peninsula
We love all things history and nature. And Mexico. Although we spend the most time in Baja California Sur there’s something truly unique and wonderful about the Yucatan Peninsula and the state of Quintana Roo. In addition to the pristine waters, wildlife and cenotes, the magical attraction of the Yucatan is the concentration of Mayan ruins, and visiting the Coba
When the opportunity arose to be a part of a yoga retreat, I just had to jump at the chance. With 2018 well underway and us really making an active effort to be healthy in every aspect of our lives, dedicated time for self-care and practicing yoga in a beautiful place just seemed like the right thing to do. In partnership
Hooray! It's time to get some sun and take relaxation and self-care to a new level! We've partnered up with Yoga Multimedia to share an exciting experience of travel, yoga and making new friends. Follow along with this travel journal as one of us Dads (Rob) takes some time away to regroup and try a new type of travel: traveling
After spending a few days diggin’ on the incredible nature of Puerto Rico’s east coast, we relocated to San Juan, the capital. Wow! What a city! From the historic forts and Old San Juan to the vibrant district of Condado, visiting San Juan was a blast! It’s hard to pick what we enjoyed the most about exploring San Juan, so
Do you ever know that there’s a place you want to visit but you’re not sure where to begin or what’s attainable in one trip? Well, that’s a problem we face a lot. We expect that we can experience the majority of a place but then don’t understand the actual layout of the area and all of the distractions we’ll
It's rare that we ask anybody else to share anything via our website, but we've made some new friends in the online travel community that we think are pretty awesome. Jackie and Daryl are two adventurous ladies that we stumbled across on Instagram and we really wanted to share them and their unique perspectives with everyone. They've been sharing via
We know how to do a beach day. I mean, we live at the beach, but what do you do when you’re in a beach destination without kids? And what if it’s a beach destination that also has non-beach stuff that is pulling you away from the surf? Playa del Carmen is just that. Here’s how to plan an amazing
It’s totally not difficult to find a way to enjoy a day in the Caribbean. Everywhere you look is beautiful, the water is warm, and there’s a lot of rum. When I set sail on the Oasis of the Seas with Royal Caribbean, I got to visit some beautiful places. One place I was particularly excited to visit was Haiti.
Something we can’t wait to mix into family travel is river rafting. I’ve rafted plenty of rivers, from the Wenatchee in Leavenworth, Washington to Six Mile in Hope, Alaska, the Kenai and the Flathead: all kinds of rivers. And I’ve kayaked. I love kayaking and the challenge it sometimes gives. It’s rare though that we just relax and float. Floating
There are a few places that I’d love to experience with my family, meaning that I’ve gotten to see them and do incredible things on my own, but they haven’t been able to join me. Among those places are the Alaskan tundra, the cenotes of the Yucatan and the jungles of Jamaica. The waterfalls of the Blue Hole in Ocho
There’s this small window in being a parent when it seems okay to do really cool things without your kids. Examples include dinner in a Michelin star restaurant, getting a tattoo when you’re traveling for work, swimming with sea turtles in the Caribbean… So, I did two of these things on my last solo travel adventure. Swimming with sea turtles

You know how much we love getting the kids into nature. Locally we can escape to the beach or the mountains within minutes or a few hours, but getting to snorkeling destinations where the water is warm and beautiful and perfect, that takes longer. And if you're going to make the trip it might as be someplace wonderful like Turks
