Travel Inspiration and Memories to Last a Lifetime
I’m a wife, a mom (of kids and dogs), a daughter, a professional, a cook, a lover of good food, and an exercise nut! We work hard so that we can play, and in our play, we love to travel. I’ve found that there are very few sites out there that share tips and tricks of traveling around the PNW and beyond with young(ish) kids, so thought I’d create my own.

Why We Started Family 4 Travel: Inspiring Adventures Beyond Toddlerhood
Welcome to Family4Travel, your go-to resource for family travel inspiration and tips! I’m thrilled to share our journey and the reasons behind starting this blog. As a parent, I’ve always believed that travel is one of the most enriching experiences we can offer our children. It opens their eyes to new cultures, teaches them resilience, and creates memories that last a lifetime. However, as our kids grew out of their toddler years, I realized that our travel needs and interests were evolving. That’s when the idea for Family4Travel was born.
The Spark of Inspiration
The inspiration for Family4Travel came from our own family’s experiences. When our kids were toddlers, travel was all about finding child-friendly destinations, managing nap schedules, and packing an endless supply of snacks and toys. But as they grew older, we noticed a shift. Our children started craving more excitement, more challenges, and more activities that could engage their growing minds and bodies. We wanted to find ways to keep travel fun and fulfilling for everyone, and we knew other families were facing the same challenges.
Here are some fun Pinterest pics for some initial inspiration:)
Embracing New Adventures
At Family4Travel, we believe that travel should evolve with your family. As kids grow, their interests and abilities change, and so should your travel plans. Our blog is dedicated to exploring the best ways to travel with kids who are no longer toddlers but not yet teenagers. We focus on destinations and activities that offer a perfect blend of adventure, education, and fun.
From hiking in national parks to exploring historical sites, from trying out new sports to immersing in local cultures, we cover a wide range of experiences that cater to the curiosity and energy of older kids. We share tips on how to plan trips that are both exciting and educational, ensuring that your family adventures are not only enjoyable but also enriching.
Some of our favorite trips so far include:

We understand that traveling with kids can be challenging, but it’s also incredibly rewarding. Our blog offers insights on how to balance relaxation and adventure, how to keep everyone entertained, and how to handle the inevitable bumps along the way. We believe that with a little planning and a lot of enthusiasm, every family can create their own unique travel stories.
