Favorite Family Travel Posts Around The Web

Thank Yous:

I was lucky to have my articles featured on several different blogs this week!

My guest post on How to Track Travel Expenses and Stick to a Vacation Budget appeared at GetRichSlowly and then got picked up at Lifehacker and Consumerist. It was great to read everyone's feedback and ideas for tracking vacation expenses in the comments on these three posts.

Heather on Her Travels linked to our post on A picnic in Barcelona's Park Guell and had some nice things to say about our City Guides

The LA Times Picked up our story on Breastfeeding and Pumping When You Travel

Two great travel blogs: Vagabondish and BraveNewTraveler linked to our story on A Refreshing Change: Beautiful Photos of Myanmar. I read both blogs regularly for their inspiring travel ideas... now would be a good time for you to check them out.

Over at Family Travel, check out Part II of the Williams' family trip to China with their two kids (aged 3 and 5). I always find it inspiring to read about someone's trip, why they went, and what they (and their kids) remember.

In At The Car Wash Minnemom writes about a wonderful outing she had with her kids at... a car wash. This story brings back so many great travel memories for me. Often our best memories are of times when we were doing simple, not very exotic things. Things like visiting our local Taco Truck or blowing bubbles in a park in Madrid. Just getting ourselves out of the house, out of our normal routines and mentally opening our minds to new experiences helps us bond in new ways as a family.

Parenthacks has a great tip to help you keep track of toys and baby accessories. I'll let you click over there to find out what it is, but I'll add that our favorite hack is to take a digital photo of all the toys we pack and then compare against that photo when we re-pack on our trip.

Camping this summer? Wee Life has a great series of articles about cooking delicious looking dishes on a campfire. I might go camping just so that I can try this Dutch Oven Dump Cake

    Thanks for the link! I debated whether to even write the car wash post, but I'm glad that it brought back good memories for you. Happy travels!

    Nice article! One thing I focus on in my vacation budget with the family is scoring good airline deals. Did you you hear that Peter Greenberg is giving away plane tickets http://www.petergreenberg.com/contest/
