Road Trip to Provence with a Toddler: Itinerary and Hotels

Road Trip to Provence with a Toddler: Itinerary and Hotels

During quarantine it was impossible to turn work ‘off’. We weren’t ‘working from home’ we were ‘living at work’. Calls/whats app texts/emails/messages at all hours of the day. That is when we decided : we need to take a break. Turn work off and spend quality time together.

2.5 weeks spend on a road trip driving down to the South of France. Here the our itinerary from our travels.

Road Trip with a Toddler: Tips and Tricks

Road trips… ah yes… what once was the ultimate freeing feeling: put the windows down, blast the music and see how long you can drive before absolutely needing a rest stop.

Wait, with a toddler?

Oh how the times have changed.

Here are some tips & tricks on road tripping with a toddler!

After going through withdrawal from our two-a-day pastas during our road trip in Italy, I tried to find a somewhat-healthy (but really not-so-healthy, hello butter sage sauce!) meal that would bring us back to the days of Italy.

Roman & Grecian Holiday Part I

Only a few days after our perfectly amazing wedding this past June, we were on our way to Rome to start our Honeymoon.

Andrew and I have never traveled to Europe together, so you could imagine the excitement! We just wanted to see/taste/smell everything! We definitely got our fill in gelato (sometimes twice a day!), as well as red wine. We would try to walk everywhere, because the walk was usually just as beautiful as wherever we were heading.
