About Me & My Family

3 Kids 1-9 years old boys and girls
When we travel, good food and adventure always abound. Our family loves to push the limit of what we can do with children. Our mantra has always been - have kids, will travel. However, this doesn't mean I'm unlike most frantic moms before a trip. Wanting adventure and being a control freak can sometimes be a lethal combination.

Favorite Vacation Memory
Climbing Machu Picchu with a 4 month old infant in a slight and having all the locals stop us to ask what happened to his feet which were all bundled up. They just couldn't believe it wouldn't be bow legged.
Worst Travel Moment With My Kids:
Getting to the airport on our way to Scotland with my 15 month old and discovering that my husband's passport had expired. Instead of rebooking all of our flights, we decided that I would do the first leg of our journey on my own with baby. Unfortunately, we had not packed for me to be flying by myself. I could bearly walk to the runway with all my bags and a 15 month old who would get distracted by everything along the way. He then proceeded to sleep only 1 hour of the entire 11 hour journey (red-eye). It was pretty miserable.

Kid-Friendly Renaissance Faires Across the U.S.
Do you have an inner princess, knight, or medieval lady or lord hidden inside of you? Renaissance Faires are a fun excuse to get dressed up and get into the spirit of all things renaissance. Watch a real life joust, sword fight. Watch street performers like people did back then. Visit the blacksmith to watch him fashion menacing weaponry on coals.

Small but charming Renaissance Faire held in a woodsy setting. Watch a live joust, sword fight, story-telling, magic shows and more. Rent a costume to get in the mood. Several merchants now take credit cards and there is an ATM onsite. A few food stalls where you can grab lunch.

"Intimate and Charming Renaissance Faire"
The Canterbury Faire in Silverton, OR is a wonderful family-friendly event. It's a little smaller than some others, but the setting is charming. Set among trees, it has a woodsy feeling that's perfect for a Renaissance Faire. The trees also provide much needed shade so you can enjoy the festivities of listening to a storyteller or watch a juggler without melting away in your costume. Don't have a costume, you can rent one for just $20. Be a princess or a peasant. It's hard not to get into the mood when everyone else is dressed up and playing their part so well. Our kids 6, 8, 9, 10 and 13 were entranced by the whole experience. Hey loved watching the artisans craft weapons, watching the real life joust and sword fight, and getting their hair braided into a fancy medieval style fit for a lady of the court. By the end of the day, they were wielding their own swords and shields and devouring books about the renaissance.
