Put on your Florida Everglades Vacation Pants

Hanging with the American Alligators in Everglades National Park

We had quite a year planned for travel this year. We were going to hit all 12 Disney Parks around the world. We were going to hit a new continent (Asia) and hit 5 new countries. Travel is so important to us, but with recent global events, vacation won’t be happening for many people around the world, including us. We have cancelled all our trips and are staying home. We want to do our part to help. With that being said, I am going to have a lot more time to work on creative things. 2019 was a really busy year for me and my family. My husband started working and I have taken on a lot of extra duties at work (I’m a 3rd grade teacher). I am looking at the things in my life I can control and what I can remain positive about. One of the things is I will be able to work on with my time at home is my blog, my podcast, and my travelgram. Things I love so dearly, but have had to put on hold for other parts of my life.

In the coming weeks, I will be posting all about our past Spring Break trips on my Instagram. I’ll also be putting some more thorough write-ups of our past travels here. My first post in this series, found below, is about our trip to the Florida Everglades. I know none of us can travel right now, but you have plenty of time to plan your future travels. So here it goes…

Put On Your Camping Vacation Pants

“How do you take your family camping?”

It’s a question that I’ve heard in my adult life far more than I ever thought I would.  The second word gets out that we’re going camping, I am almost always asked this question.  It usually comes from one of three types of people:

  • Someone who’s never been camping before
  • Someone who grew up camping, but doesn’t really know how to do it on their own as an adult
  • Someone who used to enjoy camping, but doesn’t know how to go about it now that they have kids.

It’s shocking to me, because camping has always been a part of my life, and sharing it with my kids is a huge joy. Read on to find out how easy it is to take your family camping.
