walking on travels

I have a lot of photos. That is putting it mildly. I’ve taken tens of thousands of photos since my dad first handed me a camera when I was 8 years old. For the rest of the summer, and maybe beyond, I’m going to dive into my archives and rediscover a few fun adventures I’ve taken [...]

The more I look back at the past year the more I wonder just how we crammed so much in. I’m tired just looking through photos. Now granted I can take thousands of pictures on a trip, but still! There were some major life changes, a few big trips and a whole lot of smiles [...]

I’ve learned a lot in the past two weeks as Dek and I travel in China and Hong Kong together. Overall, I was the same mom I am when we are at home, but there were a few things I had to figure out and adjust for along the way. If you need to hide [...]

As you pull up to the Royal Pacific Hotel and Towers in Hong Kong, you are instantly impressed by the amazing harbor views and large lobby. After that it’s a little downhill.
