  • It's Memorial Day weekend here in the States, marking the official start of SUMMER! ☀️⠀ .⠀⠀ Sure, this photo was taken in sunny Cascais, Portugal, but the sunshine wishes and good vibes are still the same. Now, if only our Nebraska weather would cooperate. 🤨⠀ .⠀⠀ Do you keep a summer bucket list? What's on it?!⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ ➡️ follow @our.next.adventure for more family travel adventures!⠀
  • Not pictured: the 2 seconds after this photo was snapped where Evelyn tripped and fell down the stairs. 😬 ⠀ .⠀⠀ Anyone else have an awfully clumsy, accident prone, bruised up child?⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ ➡ follow @our.next.adventure for more family travels!
  • Evelyn asks a LOT of questions lately, but this one was a personal favorite...⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ Evelyn: “what is that?”⠀⠀ Matt: “it’s a bidet”⠀⠀ Evelyn: “what do you do with it?”⠀⠀ Matt: ......pause......⠀⠀ Evelyn: “wash your hair in it??”⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ Yes, Evelyn. That’s exactly right. Now stop touching the hair washer!⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ Genuinely curious, because I know we can't be the only ones: what do your kids think the bidet is for?? 😄⠀
  • “To my mind, the greatest reward and luxury of travel is to be able to experience everyday things as if for the first time; to be in a position in which almost nothing is so familiar it is taken for granted.” -Bill Bryson⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ I couldn't think of a better way to explain our love of travel. Sure, it's fun seeing new places and eating new foods. But it's the excitement that comes with rediscovering ordinary, everyday tasks that really makes travel special. ⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ A trip to the grocery store. A walk to the park. It's learning to appreciate a new way of doing things, while also appreciating our life at home.⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ When we're traveling as a family, each day brings new, unique challenges. But they're challenges we conquer together. 💪🏻⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ ➡ follow @our.next.adventure for more family travels!⠀⠀
  • Wonder how Our Next Adventure got started?⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ We don't have the classic "sold it all to travel the world" story. Though that does sound pretty cool, right?⠀ .⠀⠀ Instead it all happened kind of by accident. Here's why...⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ Matt: works a 9-5 by day, building some pretty cool things like hospitals and arenas. He's too humble to admit how talented he is, so I have to say it for him! It’s his job (based in California, even though we live in Nebraska) that started this whole family travel adventure!⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ Laura: started travel blogging in 2016 as a way of explaining to friends and family why we traveled to California so much. 😄 I had also just become a stay at home mom, so it seemed like a good project. After a few months, though, it spiraled into a full blown travel blog out of a desire to help other families travel with littles too!⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ Evelyn: took her first trip at 5 weeks old. Her view of the world might be slightly skewed: she thinks you can just “borrow” any house you want, and doesn’t understand why we can’t go to the airport unannounced and fly off willy nilly.⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ Sophie: our miracle baby. Sophie started traveling at 3 months, as soon as her doctor gave us the ok. Give her good weather, naps, and Peppa Pig, and she's a happy camper. She's hoping to add more stamps to her passport before turning two!⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ ➡ Tell me: how old were your kids when you took your first family trip? Where did you go?⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ 📸: @cityportraits_lisbon
  • Monday, Monday. So we meet again.⁣ 🤨⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ Anyone else feel like the weekend just started??⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ ⁣Today's Monday travel inspiration is brought to you by this adorable little pottery shop outside Lisbon's Feira da Ladra, a twice-weekly flea market selling everything from junk to collectibles and handmade goods.⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ Where in the world do you wish you were on this bright and sunshine-y Monday morning?⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ ➡️ follow @our.next.adventure for more family travels!⁣
  • The name Guadí is synonymous with Barcelona.⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ You really can't visit Barcelona without admiring some of his greatest works!⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ What's your favorite Guadí creation? Matt was blown away by La Sagrada Familia, while I particularly loved the whimsy of Park Güell.⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ Today #ontheblog, read our guide to experiencing Gaudí's Barcelona for kids! 💙 ⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ #LinkInBio 👉🏻 @our.next.adventure
  • Of all the castles and palaces in Sintra, Quinta da Regaleira was my favorite.⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ Which is ironic because it's also the one where Sophie got sick and vomited all over the place. 🤢⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ ⁣Lucky for us, most of the palace's fun lies outdoors, where the expansive gardens are full of winding paths, secret passageways, and underground tunnels.⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ It’s the perfect kind of place to get lost with kids, but often gets missed in lieu or the more popular Pena Palace or Castle of the Moors (two equally must-see places on a Sintra day trip).⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ But trust me, even if you have to make a return trip to Sintra to experience it, you don’t want to skip this one!⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ ➡️ follow @our.next.adventure for more family travels⁣!
