Welcome! Thanks to Daraius for featuring my little corner of the family travel world on Million Mile Secrets this week. And thanks for clicking over.

Welcome! I’m Leslie, a mom of two (ages 11 and 7) who loves to travel. Trips With Tykes is a family travel blog devoted to simplifying the logistics of traveling with young kids.
