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.

Our last bus ride was 15 hours long. This one was slightly less painful.

We spend a lot of time in the car along Australia's southern coast.
We're not really ready to leave Tasmania, but the rest of the world is waiting.
Experiencing a visit to the Exeloo.
Some say Kiki's Delivery Service has its roots in a small town in New Zealand. Of course we had to investigate. And we saw a lot of dead wallabies.
