  • It's our last day in Lisbon. 😭⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ We've really fallen in love with this place. All the steps really aren't so bad when you’ve got something pretty to look at at every turn.⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ Tomorrow we start our 26 hours of travel back home. Please pray for us. 🙏🏻😆⁣⠀ . ⁣⠀ . ⁣⠀ 👇🏻 Follow us for more family travel adventures⁣⠀ @our.next.adventure⁣⠀
  • 🐰💐 Happy Easter from Lisboa! ⠀ .⠀ We celebrated by waiting 1 hour and 40 minutes in line to ride the historic tram 28. 😄 Then we had lunch and we made it home just in time to watch our home church, @cccomaha, live stream their Easter service. ✝️⠀ .⠀ Where are you celebrating Easter today??
  • We've been a bit silent over here, busy checking as much as possible off our Lisbon Bucket List before we head home next week!⁣ ✅⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ I wasn't sure how much we'd be able to accomplish on this trip, but the girls are being real troopers! ⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ We've been doing some really long days, with lots of walking and many skipped naps.⁣ You'd think it'd be a recipe for disaster (some days, it certainly is), but mostly, the experiences far outweight the momentary tantrums.⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ 👉🏻 Have you been to Lisbon? We have 4 days left to explore - what can we not miss??⁣
  • Matt and I started a new exercise routine this week. It’s called the “walk 5 miles up and down the hills of Lisbon everyday carrying a small child” plan.⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ My calves have never felt stronger! 😄💪🏻⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ P.S. We also booked our first @airbnb experience this week: a private family photo shoot in Alfama! I'm so in love with the photos - I'll be spamming them here for the next few weeks for sure! ⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ If you're headed to Lisbon, definitely book a private family session with Emanuele at @cityportraits_lisbon. You won't regret it!⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ Have you booked any @airbnbexperiences? Where was it and what did you think??⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ 📸: @cityportraits_lisbon . .⁣⠀ 👇🏻 Follow us for more family travel adventures⁣!⠀ @our.next.adventure
  • I've said it before and I'll say it again. Europe's playgrounds have the best views! 🙌🏻⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ ⁣Swinging under a massive gothic cathedral? You can't find that in America!⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ 🌎 Which countries do you think have the best playgrounds? ⁣
  • Barcelona! 🇪🇸⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ We spent 2 rainy, jet-lagged days exploring as much as we could with our two little travelers. 👯‍♀️⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ We didn't get to see everything, but we did hit the highlights: Park Guell and wandering our neighborhood (Gracia), La Rambla and tasting different foods at La Boqueria, and finishing it all off with a look inside the stunning Sagrada Familia. ⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ One thing I know for sure, we must come back! And though we have so much more to see in Barcelona, I'm happy we were able to get a taste of the city before moving on. ⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ Have you been to Barcelona? What are some of your favorite places?⁣
  • I picked Evelyn up from preschool today and she immediately ran out of the building shouting "I'm going to Portugal today! I'm going to Portugal today!"⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ I'm pretty sure all the other teachers thought, "wow, this kid is sure delusional...🙄"⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ But it's true, Evelyn. We are going to Portugal! 🎉⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ In case you missed it: I've posted our LISBON BUCKET LIST on the blog today. ❤️ Go have a read! [ #linkinbio 👉🏻 @our.next.adventure ]
  • It's a dreary, rainy spring day here in Nebraska. I guess I'll just crank up the fireplace and pretend I'm back on the warm, sunny beaches of Tulum. 😜🏝⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ This photo's been on my Mac's desktop for over 2 years now, and it never disappoints to cheer me up, even on the crappiest of days. 💙⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ Where's your favorite travel photo from?⁣
