One of the things that we have loved in our travels is touring with a private guide. Our obsession started in Paris, when on a tour with a group, the guide payed such great attention to my kids that I thought, wouldn’t it be great if we had this guide all to ourselves? I vowed to do it on our next adventure and got the chance in Bangkok. Having Dew as our private guide, which we arranged through…

How Do You Get Ready to Travel Around the World With Kids?
How Do You Get Ready to Travel Around the World With Kids?
Apostle Islands, Wisconsin After a little more than a month here in Auckland, New Zealand, we are gearing up for our round-the-world adventure. I must admit, I am torn between planning every minute of every day of the trip so that I know where and when to be everywhere — never throwing caution to the wind. But I have stopped myself and only planned the first three-and-a-half weeks, having a loose…

When 'Bring Your Kid to Work Day' Crosses Continents
When ‘Bring Your Kid to Work Day’ Crosses Continents
In quite possibly the coolest “bring your kid to work day” my two daughters traveled to New Zealand to go on the set of their father’s latest show, “Shannara Chronicles.” Calling “action” on the set was definitely a highlight as well as meeting some of the cast. We’ve also been doing a lot of learning while here–like milking a cow (albeit a fake one at an ice cream shop). We have a little more…

What to Do on a Rainy Day in Auckland
It wasn’t as pretty as usual in Auckland today, so we headed below the deck to the fabulous and interactive Kelly Tarlton’s Sea Life Aquarium. Identifying all the different fish was fun, but making them come to life was the highlight of the day. First, you color a sea creature. Then you scan them and they come to life in the digital aquarium. There are about four coloring stations, each with…

Hitting the road
First stop, Vegas. Photos taken at The Mirage Hotel & Casino.
This cool dude was in Zion National Park.
Waking up to this stunning view at the Bryce Zion Campground.
Photobombed by my own family.
The Narrows is quite possibly the “coolest” hike ever.
Still at the Narrows.
One of the not-too-crowded parts of the canyon.
Packed up and ready to go in Moab.
Checking out Arches National Park.
Ice cream at every stop. This time we had a cotton candy burst.
Silly at Mount Rushmore.
Obligatory stop at the Corn Palace.
And at the Mall of America — pro tip: visit on a Monday night and there are few crowds.
First glimpses of Lake Superior.
First look at Pictured Rocks.
Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore was one of my favorite stops.
Getting right up close to the formations.
Mackinac Island is perfect for a bike ride.
One of the last major stops of the trip: Niagara Falls. Bucket list, check.
Final destination: New Hampshire. Celebrating our arrival with a dinner cruise around Lake Sunapee.

On the blog: Tips for Canceled Trips
Recently, I was planning to travel with my two daughters to Universal Orlando and on a Royal Caribbean cruise out of Port Canaveral, Fla. My girls were ecstatic and, the best part was that it was my older daughter’s birthday. Unfortunately, we were not able to take the trip and I had to let them know.
It was particularly hard because it was my daughter’s birthday, but I thought about it and came…
