Turn “Are We Done Yet?” into “Can We Stay Lo Turn “Are We Done Yet?” into “Can We Stay Longer?” 🎨✨ When we visited Amsterdam, Tim wanted to go to the Van Gogh Museum—but let’s be real, art museums aren’t always a hit with kids. Luckily, we did some research ahead of time and discovered they had a special Pokémon x Van Gogh exhibition during our visit! Suddenly, what could have been a “How much longer?” experience turned into “Whoa, look at Pikachu as Van Gogh!” The boys were actually excited to be there, and we got to explore everything we wanted to see. Then at the Rijksmuseum, we booked the children’s audio tour, even though it was designed for younger kids. It turned out to be one of the best decisions of the trip! Instead of aimlessly wandering, we all got tablets and had to complete a scavenger hunt to find the museum’s top masterpieces. It was fun, interactive, and kept everyone engaged while we took in the incredible art. 💡 Travel Tip: Before you visit a museum, check if they have special exhibitions or family-friendly tours—they can completely change the experience and make it enjoyable for everyone! Have you ever found something unexpected that made a museum visit way more fun? Drop your stories below! ⬇️🎨✨ #FamilyTravel #VanGoghMuseum #Rijksmuseum #TravelWithKids

❄️ Walking Inside a Glacier at Mer de Glace! 🏔️ Swipe through to see one of the most incredible (and sobering) experiences we’ve ever had in Chamonix. A visit to this massive glacier is absolutely breathtaking—but each year, it’s disappearing more and more. 📍 To get there, we took a scenic cogwheel train and then a gondola. When the ice cave was first carved out, it was right at the base of the gondola. When we visited you had to walk 530 steps down to reach it… and they have been adding more every year as the ice melts. This past December, they unveiled a new gondola to help get visitors closer, but there are still nearly 200 steps down. Standing inside the glacier was an unforgettable experience, but also a stark reminder of how fast our world is changing. So glad we got to see it while it’s still here. Have you ever walked inside a glacier? Would you visit? Let me know below! 👇 #Chamonix #MerDeGlace #ClimateChange #TravelMoments
