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.

› In the wee hours of our 333rd day of travel, we checked out of our Montreal hotel and took a taxi to Pierre-Elliot Trudeau Airport for the final flight of our trip—back to the United States of America.
› 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?
› 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.
On June 10, 2012 at 10:00 in the morning, I embarked on what would turn out to be a 13-day hike along California's John Muir Trail, and I have thought about that hike almost every day since I finished.
