Little Travelers. Big Adventures.
After over two years of way too many road trips with a toddler, we’ve learned quite a few things along the way. We’ve had road trips go amazingly well and others resulting in crying and whining 50% of the way. (I’ll thank minor car sickness and potty training for that!)

Our first visit to Indiana, PA sort of happened by accident. With a plane obsessed toddler, a friend and I were looking around for a small airport that we could tour. The Indiana Airport was brought to our attention, and our love for the area started from there. Being from Eastern PA originally, I had … Read more
From my first weekend in Niagara on the Lake, I totally fell in love with the quaint, colonial town. While many people may confuse it with its more touristy neighbor Niagara Falls, Niagara on the Lake in Ontario, Canada couldn’t be more different.
