Weekend in Wenatchee

We spent 4 days in Wenatchee, Washington last July and found some fun activities to keep us busy while we were in town for a wedding.

Traveling with Toddler- Roadtrip Edition

We decided to take a roadtrip in the Summer of 2022 to attend weddings in Washington and Montana. Our daughter was 2 1/2 at the time and we learned a lot of what worked (and didn’t) while we planned and completed the trip. Road trips are a great way to experience new places on yourContinue reading “Traveling with Toddler- Roadtrip Edition”
