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 interact with a wide variety of strange marsupials and go grocery shopping (again).
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.
Just how much stuff can a 7-year-old stuff into her backpack on a Trip Around the World? Prepare to be surprised.
› Our family returns to Port Arthur for the first time in 15 years to find things pretty much the same. But this wasn't before we stopped to smell some flowers.
After a quick flight over the Bass Strait, we land in Tasmania.
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.
