Definitely taking a look at some of your past travel posts for tips : ) Even though I don't have kids yet I think it's awesome how you & your husband make travelling with kids so doable!

The scenery wa...I enjoyed these posts on your trip. The scenery was gorgeous! And that Ashby is just too cute! I am wondering if you would write another post to address some specifics. For example: I do not know what a fjord is, based on your pictures and writing; there is no description of anything – is the castle currently housing royalty? is norway a monarchy? can you tour the castle? do norway's children have summer vacation from school now? can you describe the Anne Frank house/tour? as a "foodie", did you try anything new? what kind of cheeses did you bring back and how did you insure they wouldn't spoil? would you recommend this particular sailing given there were so few kids on the ship? (We cruise a lot because we live near multiple ports. If the kids are going, we like to go when kids are on break because they like a higher population of kids – but that is how our family is. It would be nice to have feedback on whether the kids were encouraged to enjoy kid spaces or if the lack of other kids made those spaces feel unwelcoming to the few children on the ship). What kinds of activities were available on this cruise for the days at sea? As a travel agent, these are the kinds of things you could share with your readers that would be really helpful. Looking forward to more!Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06714232880654882327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5586676378937098689.post-65425965803251572352016-06-25T10:47:18.023-05:002016-06-25T10:47:18.023-05:00What a fun trip!

I recognize the layout, packaging and samples of course!! October will be our 2 years and we talk about that cheese all.the.time. We ate it too fast!! After reading this post we googled the company to see how much shipping some would cost... we think it's worth it ;) We also ate at The Pancake Bakery and met the nicest people while eating the BEST pancakes! Next time you visit try Lombardo's. I'm a Texan but they have by far the best burgers EVER. Hands down. Read their reviews! Anyway, thanks for a nostalgic post :) Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16004352438216662155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5586676378937098689.post-51382265639538391012016-06-24T17:54:03.491-05:002016-06-24T17:54:03.491-05:00What a wonderful trip!

Most of us follow you because of your delicious recipes, so we're also foodies. Could you post more pictures of the delicious foods you eat on these trips & in general? If you feel like they would bore some, could you make a food lover's entry just devoted to that? My favorite part of traveling is the food and that Caprese pancake was insane looking! Maybe you can recreate some of those dishes through your recipes? Thank you for sharing your wonderful family with us.

What an incredible journey for the kiddies ( and you guys!! As I was reading this week I kept wondering "are they able to find a little time to themselves on their vacations (You & Andrew)- or do you guys do trips on your own strictly for that purpose? "Couple time" is so hard to come by with children- and with limited vacation time we always seem like we are trying to choose family vacay over some "get away" time- maybe you have some tips on how not to have to choose! :) <3 xoxo Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05187150040218891589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5586676378937098689.post-62526957735879260442016-06-24T09:53:41.874-05:002016-06-24T09:53:41.874-05:00If you ever go back to Holland you need to make ti...If you ever go back to Holland you need to make time to visit http://www.claramaria.nl/en Cheese, clogs, and animals.
