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.
› We know it's been a while since you've heard from us. Here's some rationale for that—and a commitment to do better going forward. So join us, won't you?

› If you're interested in hearing what goes into a trip around the world, head on over to Epic Education Radio where you can listen to Jason Jenkins interview Tom about the trip.
› Although we hoped it wouldn't happen, we knew that being pick-pocketed on our trip was a very real possibility. We tried to always be careful, especially in crowded places, but we just weren't careful enough in Ho Chi Minh City.
› You may have noticed things have been a little quiet around here lately. Re-entering the United States after a year abroad has been a little more challenging than we expected and is taking more of our time than we thought it would (especially that part about filing taxes). But we're going to get back to it very soon.
We didn't spend too much time in the Czech Republic, but we made the most of the time we were there. Here's a little of what we saw.
We spent a total of 18 days in and around London so we were able to investigate many of the city’s interesting sights and iconic landmarks.
Even though our Royal London Walking Tour was over, we just kept going to see what else London had to offer the world traveling family.
We were in Austria long enough to do a few loads of laundry and take a Sound of Music tour, and this (really) short gallery of images reflects that.
It took us a few days, but this morning we decided it was time to head to Covent Garden and hook up with the Sandeman's Free Walking Tour of London.
