A few years ago, we decided to travel to Tulum, Mexico, with my sister and brother-in-law after their wedding to celebrate. After a lot of research, we decided to stay at a wonderful eco friendly boutique called Hotel Nueva Vida de Ramiro. Tulum’s beaches are absolutely stunning, so Nueva Vida's beachfront location was a huge draw for us and we were pleasantly surprised to score decently affordable bungalows at this wonderfully located, chic resort.

Tulum: The Gem of Mexico

A few months ago we embarked on a trip to Mexico with my sister and brother-in-law, Bri and Linden. We picked Mexico because for our dates and starting point it provided the cheapest airline tickets which we agreed would be the deciding factor on where we were going to go. I'll be honest that at first I wasn't completely excited about going there. Mexico just seemed so typical and brought to mind images of partying college students. With a desire to avoid crowds we decided to travel to Playa Del Carmen (a town about 45 minutes south of Cancun) and then head further south to the little town of Tulum once the rest of our party arrived.

A few years back I was privileged to be able to spend three and a half months in Nicaragua. I was there with a group of friends doing community development projects and running medical clinics in different villages in the Northeast region of the country. While that time was very rewarding and full of adventures what I'm going to cover here are the few weeks of vacationing we did during our trip.

We spent some extra time in Rome on this trip in order to visit the Vatican Museums. We tried to go last time when we had just Jasper, but tickets were sold out! I was a bit nervous about going with two kids, especially a busy toddler who loves to ru
San Marino. Ever heard of it? It's one of the world's smallest countries, landlocked within central Italy. One of Justin's goals is to visit 150 countries (we both hit 50 countries on this trip), so we decided to drive to San Marino during this last

I think our few day side trip to Malta is going to turn out to be one of our highlights from this trip. We've been staying in Valletta and been totally amazed by the ancient history everywhere you look. Plus, how can you not be totally enchanted by s
