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.
Our triumphant return to Belgium brought us to the UNESCO World Heritage site of Bruges, a small but charming town that was quite pleasant to visit.
The chilly winds blowing through Copenhagen couldn't keep us inside ... we still had a lot of things to see in the city.
Denmark is regularly at or near the top of all those lists of the happiest nations on Earth. We’re still not sure why that is for sure, but it has a lot to do with a little things called hygge, so we went looking for some hygge of our own.
On our travels around the world, we've had some great beer, but when it comes to sheer variety, there's no place else quite like Belgium. So I enthusiastically jumped at the chance to take a tour of Belgian beer in Brussels.
After a Sandeman's Free Walking Tour of Brussels, we went about exploring the city ourselves. Here’s what we turned up.
Before we left Luxembourg we had one last place to visit — the small town of Schengen, a short drive to the south and east of Luxembourg City.
After a few days in Prague, We were off to Regensburg, Germany for a one-night stop. But first, before we left the Czech Republic for good, we had to stop at the town of Plzn to visit the Pilsner-Urquell Brewery.
We experience those two cultural hallmarks Germany is known for: driving really fast and drinking beer.
