The family grew.
So did the adventure.
What began as a place to record one family’s trips has become a living, multigenerational story. Our eight children grew up exploring the world; today they have homes, families, interests and adventures of their own.
From sailing the South Pacific and crossing Canada by RV to new journeys in Hawaii, Arizona, Europe and beyond, this site brings every branch of the family together—through personal stories, useful discoveries, photography, video and social channels.

Many households.
