Celebrating Birthdays with a Bit of Travel
We’ve had a family tradition growing for a few years now. It all started with a trip to Rome and Venice back in 2008. Mike and I were on our 3+ years belated honeymoon, but it also happened to fall over Mike’s birthday. We celebrated in style in Venice with a great meal out at [...]

Welcome to Walking on Travels
Hi there! I'm Keryn. I have a major case of wanderlust, and when I had children, I was worried that my outings would get reduced to trips to the playground and kids museums. This blog is dedicated to adventuring with my family, and providing tips and tricks for staying sane on the road. The luggage requirements will change - no more single-backpack options with an infant and toddler in tow - but the delight in showing your children the magic of the world is boundless. Join me on our adventures that we ALL can enjoy from our backyard in Seattle to destinations around the globe!
