Washington State Ferries with Kids: Tips for handling the waits and where to go

There are a few must do things when visiting Seattle and getting out on the water is one of the top. My favorite way to explore the Puget sound is on one of the Washington State Ferries. They are a relatively affordable way to get great views of the city and mountains from the water, potentially see marine mammals that call this area home, and get transported to an island. There are dozens of island within the Puget Sound and at least 7 are accessible to the public thanks to ferries

A Gender-Neutral Travel Inspired Nursery | Modern Animal Safari Theme

Being born to two parents who have a fierce love of travel, not only means you’ll begin exploring the world before birth, but also that your room will be filled with aspirations of all the places you’ll see and the wondrous variety of creatures you’ll meet. Part of the joy of having kids is sharing your passions with them and seeing the world in a new light through their eyes. We are so excited to meet our little one, see them smile for the first time, and help them take their first steps – but even more, we are excited to introduce them to different cultures, watch them ride on the back of a camel, and have them explore the jaw-dropping nature around the world. And when we aren’t away traveling – we wanted a nursery to foster their adventurous spirit.

Tips for Visiting Japan while Pregnant

We traveled to Japan when I was 11 weeks pregnant, in the midst of some pretty challenging morning sickness in my first trimester. We booked the trip several months ahead knowing that if things worked out, I would be pregnant on this trip. Unlike a lot of destinations, there isn’t too much you can’t do while pregnant. However, there are definitely things to be aware of before making your trip to the land of the rising sun. Japan makes a perfect babymoon for the couple who isn’t too keen on spending day after day laying on the beach. Beautiful sights, amazing culture, excellent food. It is also a destination that might be more of a hassle with a little one, making pregnancy a perfect time to knock Japan off your bucket list.
