2018-A Year in Review
I love looking back at all our travels from the year and 2018 turned out to be a great travel year, with lots of last minute bookings! We visited 5 countries (Mexico twice) and 10 US States. Last year, we saved…
Halloween at Disneyland
Living less than 20 minutes from Disneyland means we spend lots of time at Disneyland. I got my pass when Milana was just 6 months old and she got hers when she turned 3, and we have been coming several times…

Northern Nevada With Kids
Every year, I take Milana on a mom/daughter trip on the Polar Express train ride. We choose a different destination each time so that we can explore a new area. Last year, we did Sacramento and had a blast. This year,…
