    Travel with children | 2 and 5 years

    December 15, 2016 /

    For those who follow us here, on facebook or instagram, already know that we like to travel whenever possible. We prefer to travel than buy material things, so shopping is not our strong suit, but willingness to travel yes.  Even with the arrival of the furry cubs and daughters, we kept the urge to go out there, taking with us not only suitcases, but also the daughter. The dogs have been on some short trips with us when we went by car, but the two are stressed out with other dogs, so they stay off trips most of the time. Anyway, with all this, I do not consider ourselves travel…

    Canadian maritime provinces with children

    September 20, 2016 /

    Beautiful view of Lunenburg – NS Who recently followed our fb page and my Instagram must have seen that we went to meet three new Canadian provinces that we have not yet known, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island (PEI) and Nova Scotia and we took the opportunity to celebrate diego's birthday during the trip. They are the so-called Canadian maritime provícias and that are to the east of the country, by the Atlantic Ocean, beautiful places, filled with a lot of history and customs of their own. I'm preparing posts for each of the major cities we visited in the provinces, Moncton, Charlottetown and Halifax and a super long video…

    October 24, 2015 /

Here are some of them: Halloween 2012 with Little Alice – LOVE 1.Haunted Walk of Ottawa: These tours take place all year round, but with the cold and longer nights, it seems like the ideal time of year for the tour, where macabre stories are told by professional storytellers.

    What it's like to travel to Spain with children

    October 2, 2015 /

    For those who remember, in August, we were in Spain and it was another one of our crazy trips. I say this because, despite being a long and far away trip, we decided half a last minute and we always go to the whole human family. In the end, this was not our first long trip to four, had a small /large tour of the United States when Diana was not even 2 months yet … Jeez… you can check here the first post of that series … But guys, there are so many cool pictures to tell the whole story, I don't even know where to start.

    April 14, 2014 /

    If you are someone who accompanies our page on FB, you may have seen that we have embarked towards Brazil this last week for a season of approximately 2 weeks. What you may not know is that Diego stayed in Canada for a while longer because of Dexter and his recovery (I still owe this post is not even) and because of that, Alice and I came alone, more than 32 hours of travel to our final destination (this counting 4 flights and a road trip). Today I tell you how to travel with small children on long-haul flights. Leaving Ottawa, we stopped in Detroit, then Atlanta, Rio de Janeiro…
