  • Comic Strip Route / The Cartoon Walls of Brussels
    Belgium

    A Guide to Exploring Brussels’ Comic Strip Route

    Brussels, the vibrant capital of Belgium, is not only known for its historic charm but also for its rich comic strip heritage which is something we found out when we visited for a weekend. As a mother exploring the city with my elementary-aged child, we discovered a super fun adventure along the famous Comic Strip Route. Whether you’re trying to follow the route or just having a good wander around, you’ll undoubtedly run into numerous murals in Brussels. If you are looking for something fun to do with kids in Brussels though, plan to do a scavenger hunt like adventure through the downtown streets looking for street art. Get ready…

    Discover Street Art in STRAAT Museum in Amsterdam

    On the look out for fun things to do in Amsterdam and a little search on where to find street art in Amsterdam landed me on a very interesting website for STRAAT Museum. Straat, meaning street in Dutch, is a giagantic space with iconic pieces by Keith Haring and Banksy, and there was even a piece from one of my favorite Korean street artists, Royyal Dog. STRAAT Museum is an intriguing space for the radical art movement. If you’ve got some time and want to do something fun in Amsterdam, take a ferry to nearby NDSM wharf and explore the dynamic intersection of creativity, expression, and storytelling. If you’ve got…

    I love heading back to my hometown of Dayton, Ohio and while the majority of our time is spent seeing family, I always have a list of things to do. Luckily, there are some amazing things to do in Dayton and one spot that is always on our list to see is the Dayton Art Institute. We love visiting art museums for inspiration, history, and culture and the DAI is a fantastic place to get all of that. Established in 1919, the institute holds the distinction of being Dayton’s oldest arts organization, with Orville Wright, of the famed Wright Brothers, counted among its original founders. Is it a must see…

    Family Friendly 2-Day Cologne, Germany Itinerary: From Cathedrals To Chocolate

    Looking for a quick weekend away from the Netherlands and in another country, I scanned the train lines for a spot that was a direct trip and wasn’t too long and found Cologne. Knowing very little about what we’d find there, I had no idea it is home to the most-visited landmark in all of Germany. A popular daytrip for people that want to see the Cologne Cathedral, the tallest twin-spired church in the world, we were happily surprised by not only the cathedral, but the old-district is beautiful, has plenty to do within walking distance, and has something for everyone making it very family-friendly. One thing I do when…

    Brussels With Kids: A 2-Day Itinerary

    We spent a weekend in Brussels recently and I had a goal to create a 2 day Brussels itinerary that was entirely walkable and centered around the historic Grand Place. There are certainly things to see outside of that area, but as it was our first time to Brussels, I thought this would be the best way to get an introduction to the city. On top of that, when traveling with a kid, I find that we can do a lot more if we’re near our hotel and can stop in for a couple 30 minute downtimes throughout the day whenever needed. Traveling to new places can be exhilarating, but…
