In-Motion Geography Class in Mexico
Last weekend, we visited the Lake Chapala area of Mexico. The focus of our trip was to assist with a family matter and since we were only in the country for four days, our general plan was to hang out with family while the kids played in the pool. We knew that we’d have a Read the Rest…
How Online Travel Agencies Could Leverage Blog Content
Earlier this month, I attended a travel industry networking event hosted by NerdsEyeView and Yapta.com here in Seattle. This event, the inaugural meeting of SCOOT far exceeded my initial expectations. What I thought was going to be a purely social meet-and-greet event was instead an in-depth discussion of the state of the online travel industry Read the Rest…
All About Tulips At Eden Project
For Photo Friday today, I’m sharing my totally self-indulgent flower photos. Much easier to capture in the right pose than children will ever be 🙂 These photos were taken at the Mediterranean Biome of the Eden Project in Cornwall, UK in March. By now, I hope you’ve been able to enjoy tulips blooming in your Read the Rest…
Cheer for Earth Day with WEEE-Man
This is WEEE-Man. WEEE stands for Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment, waste which usually ends up in landfill but from which this seven-foot tall piece of artwork was constructed. His teeth are computer mice, his eyes the doors of front-loader washers. Within the structure there are kitchen appliances such as toasters and microwave ovens; large Read the Rest…

I was flipping through old photos during this past week looking for photos to use to illustrate my presentation for the author event at World Wide Books and Maps in Seattle – to promote Traveling With Kids.

I’m thrilled to introduce a two moms who are blogging about travel right here on Wanderlust & Lipstick: Elizabeth who’ll be blogging about her life and travels in Hong Kong on DimSumDiary and Beth who’ll Read the Rest…
The Long Way to Murano
Murano I’m using a photo from Flickr for Photo Friday today, much as I would love to be sharing the photos I took while we were in Venice 🙁 When I wrote about navigating Venice by Vaporetto, I ended by alluding to our crapo-vapo day when I goofed so gloriously that my kids will probably Read the Rest…
Our First Wander In Venice
The joys of depending on the Italian train system. We had planned to have a lazy Monday morning in Lucca relaxing after a busy (wedding-filled) weekend, possibly catching an afternoon train towards Venice. Unfortunately, when we arrived at the train station on Sunday afternoon to purchase tickets, we were told that there would be a Read the Rest…
Navigating Venice by Vaporetto
Note from Wandermom: This past weekend I realized that I hadn’t written much about our time in Venice last June. Over the next week I’ll be writing about this – I hope you enjoy! If you click on this image, a full-color PDF of the route map will be displayed Ah Venice! The city of Read the Rest…
Paddington Bear and Harry Potter Make The Day
We caught the 8:30am train from Truro to London Paddington. It seemed just wrong to pass through the station a second time without stopping for a photo of BigB, his bear and the statue of the eponymous bear. But, we weren’t all done with trains. We needed to get to St. Pancras for our (thankfully Read the Rest…
