Perth, Ontario is a pretty easy place to love in the summertime. Despite having a population a little over 5,000, the town has a number of great restaurants and family activities. Just a one hour drive southwest of Ottawa and lying along the Rideau River, Perth is the place to go if you need to […]
One of our missions this summer is to explore more of Ontario and so the weekend before school let out for the summer, we gave the kids a taste of what’s to come this summer. We have quite a few road trips with our kids planned over the next couple of weeks and most of […]
On this week’s episode of Parenting to Go, Chris and Yashy compare their top 10 days from the family’s 148 day trip to Europe and Morocco. Included in their respective top 10 lists are some of the most memorable experiences the family had in the summer of 2017, which include driving through mountains of Morocco, […]
Croatia is home to two popular National Parks – plus six others! During our travels through the country, we were lucky to have the chance to spend a morning at the Krka National Park with young kids. When it came to picking between Krka or Plitvice, another well known destination, I opted for Krka, mainly […]
After our family spent much of June in Southern France, we planned to spend July in Germany and ended up discovering Strasbourg en route, a beautiful city resting along the border. I’ll admit, I knew nothing about Strasbourg at the time. We noticed that it was an easy train ride from Lyon to Strasbourg. From there, we […]
Our second stop of a family trip through Spain was Ronda, a city that was first settled by the Celts in 6th century BC and has since been occupied by the Roman Empire, the Visigoths, and the Berbers. Those who have visited the city will understand its appeal. Set atop a huge cliff that towers […]
The city of Lyon in France is a UNESCO world heritage site and was one of Chris’ favourite cities. We arrived a bit weary after having spent the last few days moving from city to city every two days and so when we discovered that our GuestToGuest home in Lyon was absolutely lovely, well situated, […]
We’ve witnessed a lot of amazed faces lately, mixed with congratulatory remarks and the occasional pat on the back. For anyone reading this who doesn’t know, it’s because Yashy and I just took the trip of a lifetime, a 148 day adventure through Europe and Africa, along with our 5 year-old daughter and 3 year-old […]
Discovering Cagnes Sur Mer When we were touring through Southern France this past summer, one of the destinations I most wanted to visit was Cannes. Being a movie buff, I was interested in seeing the city that hosts the world’s most famous film festival, which is held each May. We were due to visit the […]
Ever since we got rained out in Zaragoza during our visit to the amusement park, Little Monkey had been nagging us to take her to a theme park. Given her love of rollercoasters I thought Phantasialand in Germany would be perfect for our kids who are aged 3 and 5. Phantasialand is conveniently located between […]
