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.
› 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?
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.
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.
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.
... so why not go for a walk in one of the largest urban parks on the planet?
We started the day knowing almost nothing about Perth, but when the day ended, we knew a lot about this city in Western Australia.
Our flight from Melbourne to Perth (our 11th of the trip) took us back across time zones and into Western Australian where we spent some time at Scitech, Perth's educational science center.
We spend a lot of time in the car along Australia's southern coast.
We're working on a farm in Western Australia for a week. Milking cows, mending fences, maintaining machinery, collecting eggs. Updates may be slow in coming.
Our last full day in Melbourne. We drank a lot of coffee.
A visit to Organ Pipes National Park ... and a lot more.
You probably won't be surprised that the first thing on the day's agenda was a visit to the Queen Victoria Market, followed by some stops in at well-liked Melbourne Coffee Shops.
Today was the last day of the Royal Melbourne Show, so we figured out how to get around Melbourne by train and headed out to see the show.
Remember that bus ride we took across Costa Rica into Panama? This day started like that, only slightly less miserable.
