just flew to Dubai for a week with our 6.5 month old; embarking on our first road-trip driving from Amsterdam to Florence by way of Zurich and a few other stops at the end of June to meet up with friends from San Francisco.

The only time my family can get away is if we are seeing extended family. This would be amazing!

My husband and I never got the chance to have a honeymoon or vacation before I had our son. He’s now 3 years old and we’ve still not been able to take a family vacation. A family vacation would be much needed and very much appreciated!

We’ll be traveling soon with a 2 year old and new born boy to our new duty station, all these items really help us out. My husband really wanted to go to disney world but those plans were nixed in the bud when we found out we were expecting. I would love to surprise him with a trip there. <3 keeping my fingers crossed
ria
Wow would this ever be a great present for my bestie – she’s on baby number 2 and thinking about having another. Their family (of four including the fur-children!) are always on the go, camping, traveling, exploring. She’d love this!
