Are you planning a road trip across Europe with your kids? If so, you're in for the adventure of a lifetime! Traveling through some of the continent's most breathtaking places, exploring fascinating cultures, and tasting delicious foods – it doesn't get any better. But we know that such an ambitious undertaking can have its challenges. To make s[...]
We just returned from our 5-day road trip across Italy. We planned every day less than 24 hours in advance. It was the most fun, unstressful vacation we have ever taken. I first learned about Sirmione, Italy, on Pinterest; I kept seeing the Scaligero Castle all over social media and quickly realized it is one of the most visited castles in Italy. Sirmi[...]
