US Travel Destinations

The USA is such an enormous and varied destination that it's impossible to see even a small fraction of it in a lifetime. But our family is certainly trying! I've lived in multiple regions of the US (from Alabama to Ohio to Connecticut to California), and my husband and I travel all over the country extensively with our kids.

Because we call California home, a lot of our travels have been right here in the Golden State. We regularly visit all the major cities in California, along with as many small towns and outdoor and rural escapes as we can.

Like a lot of Californians, we travel to neighboring western states quite frequently. Arizona and Nevada have been places we've vacationed often, and we are always looking for an excuse to return to Hawaii!

Near and dear to our hearts is the South as well. I grew up in Alabama, my husband and I went to law school in Virginia, and my family is now based in North Carolina. Southern states have always been and will continue to be a big part of our family's travel adventures.

And of course we enjoy travel to all the rest, even if I haven't gotten around to writing it all up! Here's a sneak peek of all the places we've traveled to with one or both kids so far. You can dive more deeply into many of these regions below.
