While in Scotland, Henry and Anders decided to Go Ape in Aberfoyle. What does that mean? Go Ape! is high ropes and zip line course in Queen Elizabeth Park near Aberfoyle where you can fly 46 meters above the ground on two of Britain’s longest zip wires. They swung through the trees, swooped on a swing, …
I know the winter holidays have passed, but I want to share one of the things we did in December to replace our usual winter traditions and create the sense of hygge that I long for this time of year. We took a “Silent Night, Holy Night” tour from Salzburg to see the Silent Night Chapel. Every December 24 …
We’ve been ringing in the holidays with European Christmas Markets! The Zagreb Christmas Market, in Croatia, was one of our favorites. It was voted “Best European Christmas Market” for 2016 and 2017, and it lived up to its title. Enjoy our tour of Advent U Zagrebu in the video. Then scroll down for the details …
We had the pleasure of backcountry horseback riding in Yellowstone National Park with Wilderness Pack Trips. This wasn’t the nose-to-tail trail ride that you see people enduring from the road; this was an off-trail wilderness experience. In a park that sees more than four million visitors a year, we saw no one. That’s how I …

Right now I am in Peru on my birthday trip, starting an eight day trek through the Andes. I went ahead and posted this ahead of time so you wouldn’t miss me. Part of our Yellowstone FTF fun included a little walk around the Mammoth Terraces. There wasn’t anyone else on the boardwalk while we …
Anders has started taking ukulele lessons; part of our effort to give him a music education. He’s had three lessons so far. Anders and Finn come from two very unmusical parents, so they need whatever help they can get. Science, reading, history…we’ve got it covered. But we needed to do something to counteract all my …
On Sunday, Anders, Finn and I donned our cowboy boots and Western shirts and headed north 28 miles to Wilsall, Montana (population ~250). Since it was Father’s Day, Henry spent the day in Yellowstone with his father and a few cameras. Since a picture is worth a thousand words, I imagine this video is worth …
