Rapid Travel From Arkansas to Utah

by SamPosted in Arkansas, Utah, WanderLog

Our travel pace is usually pretty slow, by design. Our average ‘move’ is only about 100 miles, and we move about every 3 to 5 days. This varies of course, but we commonly travel our average pace. We have often talked about executing a ‘fast’ move to linger a little longer in one place and…

Our Spontaneous Plans for the Month of June

by JessPosted in Daily Life, Mommy Diaries, Utah

Sometimes the best plans are the most unexpected ones. Our original spring plan involved visiting the Very Large Array in NM, heading through Flagstaff and Page, AZ, the North Rim of the Grand Canyon and then driving north. Instead, however, we decided to spend more time in Arkansas, and take a direct route from New Mexico to…

Visiting Woom HQ in Austin + a Helmet Giveaway!

by JessPosted in Biking, Giveaways, Texas

During our visit to Austin, we made a visit to the Woom Bike USA Headquarters. You might remember Woom Bikes from our experience teaching Cara to ride a bike last year. We’ve loved Cara’s bike, and it has been a wonderful year zooming around. We were pretty stoked to visit HQ and meet Mathias and…

    That balance bike looks great! My three year old has just started to get interested in the one he got for Christmas, and I’ve been kicking myself for not getting one with a hand brake for him. We love the greenway near our house for bike rides….but this summer we’ll be getting back to the Cape Cod bike paths that we haven’t been on in years–can’t wait!ReplyCancel

    • Jess

      Awesome! Cape Cod does sound amazing!ReplyCancel

  • Adrianne

    My little is almost 18 months. I’m looking forward to getting a Woom 1 for him very soon. We’ll be riding on the Huckleberry biking path and through the woods at Pandapas Park, both in Blacksburg, VA. He’s small, so I’m hoping we can find a helmet that fits properly.ReplyCancel

    • Jess

      Thanks so much for entering! This does sound like it would be a good helmet for him!ReplyCancel

  • Robyn V

    We just ordered our first 2 Woom bikes (1 & 2)over the weekend…highly anticipating their arrival. Our girls can do about 3 miles right now so we do our greenway trail and simple mountain trails. Heading to the Creaper Trail this summer.ReplyCancel

    • Jess

      Hooray! You are going to LOVE the bikes!ReplyCancel

    we are just learning to ride around home for now, but my 3 year old is pretty quick on her bike. this looks like a nice helmet!ReplyCancel

    i like to take my kid to the park here were we live its paved and its fun for himReplyCancel

    • Jess

      my kids also love to ride on pavement!ReplyCancel

  • Amber

    Anywhere we can ride with friends or family is a good time and encourages the 3 year old to try new bikes and tactics on her balance bike!ReplyCancel

    • Jess

      Biking with friends definitely helps encourage my kids as well!ReplyCancel

    We love going to castle park in Yuma,AZ. Love how you guys figure out a balance of travel and family, so important and hope to be able to give that to my 3 kiddos too! 🙂ReplyCancel

  • Susan Curtis Strayer

    We take our kids and their Woom Bikes on the Bridal Veil Falls Trail along the Provo River. But this summer we will be biking in as many National Parks as we can on our National Park to Park Highway Trip. Zion, Grand Teton, Bryce Canyon – So excited!ReplyCancel

  • Sarah Rollmann Probasco

    Our 3 year old needs a better fitting helmet and we’d love to try a Woom! Especially because I accidentally pinched her cheek once and now she is so fearful of her current helmet. The magnetic closure looks awesome!ReplyCancel

  • Sara Senoff

    Would love to win. We have 3 kids ages 2-6 and would love to check out the pinch free buckle on this helmet! My husband and I love going on bike rides down the canal, to our kids favorite park, Castle Park in Yuma, AZ…. I love what your family is doing and hope to embrace the travel life with my own 3 kids someday soon!ReplyCancel

  • Stacie Skinner-Hoxsie

    I missed the giveaway – again!! Awesome contest, I love your review and all the pics! I do not have kids nor take anyone biking (I own 2 bikes – what is wrong with me?!) Would love to bike along the Jordan River Trail. I heard that’s really nice.ReplyCancel

We had never been to San Antonio before this spring, but had heard it was a favorite city of many of our friends. Expecting to act like a tourist, I contacted the San Antonio Visitor’s Bureau and they graciously provided us with Passports which included free admission to many of the top attractions in the…

Detour for a Service Project & Some Horses

by JessPosted in Louisiana, Texas, WanderLog

Leaving New Orleans around mid-morning on Saturday we headed to Baton Rouge, LA to attend an endowment session at the temple. We parked the Airstream in the lot, and the kids hung out and watched a movie while Sam and I went inside. Grateful to our awesome kids that do so well on their own…
