Enjoying Travel Blog

I recently came across a family travel blog that I am really enjoying. It’s called Travels with Children and it’s by an author who calls herself Minnemom. Here’s a brief look at why I like this blog so much:
  • Frugal travel section. There is a section of this blog devoted to providing information about frugal travel. Some of the tips here are pretty obvious to us budget travelers. However, others are a bit unique or have their own slant on them. I like this section.
  • Great insights. For example, a fairly recent post discussed the way that the family experienced driving through Texas. It was all about how the highways there would be a benefit to Minnesota if they were transplanted there. This is a bit of a strange insight for a travel blog. I like it.
  • The family travels with four young children. The kids are all under the age of seven. I just find this to be totally inspirational. It’s tough to travel with kids (although it’s also wonderful). It’s tough to figure out budgeting for traveling with a family of this size. I love to see real people who are making it happen.
  • They go to off-the-wall places. This isn’t one of those family travel blogs where you’re going to read about Disneyland in every other post. This family goes to off-the-beaten-path museums and farms and other attractions. It’s really enjoyable to read about these things. And it inspires my own travel scrapbook with ideas for future travel plans!
  • Nice, informative pictures. The posts are supplemented with photos of the places that the family visits. These aren’t high-quality amazing photographs but instead are revealing travel photos that are clearly in the family’s own albums.
  • Very down-to-earth. Ultimately I just really love the tone of this travel blog. It’s very down-to-earth. I can relate to it. And I feel like I’m getting to know the author through her posts which is what I think makes a really great blog. This makes it fun to read.
What’s your favorite family travel blog?
