There's nothing like experiencing the beaches of Oahu and having unforgettable wildlife encounters. We've been around and I'll tell ya', snorkeling and lounging on all sides of Oahu is awesome. We've done the foot work and visited several locations to find our favorite, most family friendly beaches on Oahu which are sure to wow you. Family friendly beaches on Oahu? What
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
Thanks to Jon Bailey from 2dadswithbaggage.com for sharing his families favorite semi-secret aka off the beaten path Kauai activities with kids. We love hearing from other dads, especially when it's about a place on our bucket list that we're hoping to visit in the coming year with our own kids. Thanks, Jon, for these great tips! Our oldest daughter was just eight months old
So, you know how we’re all about kayaking and do it all the time? Well, after many attempts I’ve had an incredible time Stand Up Paddleboarding (SUP) and it’s going to be my new favorite activity. After spending a whole day with Ned, the owner of Paddleboard Orlando, I can say with great certainty that SUP is what’s been missing

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
As you know, we get to serve as Chief Travel Guides for Alamo Rent A Car and share our ideas for exploring the Scenic Route. We recently completed a grand tour of the Island of Oahu and came up with the four key ways to experience this incredible island. Here are a few hints about what makes Oahu with kids
Taking your family to Hawaii for the first time is typically a pretty big deal. It was for us, and we were sure to use the precious time we had there to get the full Hawaiian experience. Oahu's North Shore was scenic, full of fun, and exactly the Hawaii we were looking for, the West Side from Ko'olina to Waienae
After having gotten to explore Oahu with kids and share highlights and tips from the busiest of the Hawaiian Islands, 2TravelDads is excited to share more ideas for Hawaii! Exploring Kauai with kids is another great way to experience the islands, but at a different pace. And if you're doing a Hawaiian holiday with smaller kids, this is perfect for
We've had the question countless times about whether or not we've been to Disney's Aulani on the Island of Oahu
We're so excited for our first family trip to Hawaii! We'll be exploring the Island of Oahu, starting with a few days at Disney's Aulani and then moving to the North Shore for some epic hiking, waterfalls, and beach time with the kids. The goal: inspire the kids to want to be surfers! We are really looking forward to this trip.
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
Since the first time we visited Florida as a family we’ve wanted to see more and more of the Sunshine State. Florida offers a variety of family road trip options ranging from beach vacation, island hopping in the Keys, to exploring the one-of-a-kind nature on the Gulf Coast. We just completed an epic Florida Gulf Coast road trip and crossed
When you say Baja California, I think most people are instantly going to think “Off-roading and military car inspections…” Well, yeah, that’s totally possible and I’m sure you’ll come across that, but we’ve had some pretty incredible Baja road trips. Doing a road trip through Baja California is a really fun and interesting option for either family travel or adventurous
As heartbreaking as it is to realize that your kids are growing up it’s also amazing. We are able to do so many more fun things and share even more new experiences with them. One that is really exciting is snorkeling! Snorkeling in and around Cabo San Lucas is surprisingly great and if you’re in the right spot, it’s mellow
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
We're a family travel blog through and through
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
