Our 35 Most Memorable Moments of 2015

New Year, New Experiences

Way back in 2015, I wrote about this world-traveling family’s 20 Most Memorable Moments of 2014. But our journey had only just started — we continued hopping across the globe for a good portion of 2015. Here are the 35 things we experienced in 2015 that we regularly talk about.

Announcing the Summer of 17

We took on the world, now we're taking on the United States.

 › This summer we're packing up and hitting the road to experience that great tradition—the Epic American Road Trip. We'll be traveling the highways and byways of the United States, journeying through 17 states in three weeks. Join us, won't you?

Endless Days, Statues, Hot Dogs

After leaving England, we had a three-day layover in Iceland, a small island country the locals call a land of ice and fire. On our first day, we got the lay of the land in Reykjavik, along with a history lesson or two, and some delicious hot dogs.

New Shoes and an Ancient Wall

Way back around the year 120, Roman Emperor Hadrian built a giant wall too keep the wildmen out of the northern border of the Roman Empire. Parts of that wall still stand today.

A Trip Around the World in One Short Video

During our 333-day trip around the world, I filmed one second of video for each day we were traveling. Well, kind of. When it was all over, all that footage was turned into a six-minute video that nicely chronicles our journey. And you can see that video right here.

Days 266 — 268

We knew next to nothing about Prague, so we headed out to Old Town Prague to hook up with the Sandeman's New Prague free walking tour (like we do in any city we can).

The Most Boring Update to Date

Nothing Really Happened on the Road to Prague.

This update didn't really fit into the Sound of Music tour recap, and the post on Prague was getting too long, so the drive from Salzburg to Prague is going to have to stand on its own. But I warn you, it's not very exciting.
