Our first trip, October 2025
Six nights, five sightseeing days, four young kids, and a whole lot of walking. From the Tower of London to neighborhood playgrounds, this is exactly how we did it, plus what we'd change.
Newest trip, October 2026
Eight days, seven nights, four kids, and six nights based in Wengen. Mountain playgrounds, kid-sized hikes, the real costs, and what we learned.

Why steal a trip instead of reading another travel guide.
These aren't hypothetical itineraries. They're trips we really took, with the actual routes, pacing and detours.
Transparent trip budgets, meaningful cost details, and the steals: ways we saved or found real value.
Favorites, disappointments, what we'd skip, and how we'd slow it down if we did it again.
Take the destinations, restaurants, playgrounds or clever shortcuts that suit you, and make the trip your own.
