Hello and welcome to Monday Escapes on this very cold March Monday morning!
What have we been up to?
Over on Cruising with Kids we’ve have been chatting about the explorer academy on Celebrity Cruises, its wonderful how kids can learn as they travel and Celebrity seem to be working hard on getting the right balance between education and fun. We also have a few exciting trips planned so watch this space.
We have most recently been in Porto for half term but have also been enjoying painting and putting out Kindness Rocks in the woods close to us, if you want to find out more about these, just follow this link!
This weeks Monday Escapes is being hosted by Extraordinary Chaos and Karen over at Mini Travellers You’ll find the link up tool on Sarah’s post here.
Monday Escapes is all about looking back at wonderful, happy travel memories and sharing them with others. It doesn’t have to be about a trip abroad or even be a written post. If you want to share your favourite snapshots – whether it’s a famous sight, scene, dramatic view or even a favourite family photo, then please feel free to link those up, too. Likewise, posts don’t have to be about holidays or weekends away, they can also include day trips, walks, attractions – any travel experience that you want to share.
The linky is run by Karen from Mini Travellers, Claire from Tin Box Traveller and Lisa from Travel Loving Family and Myself.
We are also absolutely delighted to link up with Lonely Planet to offer our number one favourite blog post of the fortnight either a destination guide, or a title from the Lonely Planet Kids range. (See T&C’s below). Just another great reason to link up with Monday Escapes!
What’s in it for you?
The number one thing is you’ll be sharing your fantastic posts with a like-minded community and grabbing some travel inspiration for yourself. As a bonus you have a chance to have your blog post featured on all four of the hosts’ blogs each fortnight, introducing your blog to even more people.
Our favourite posts from last time
Lisa loves this guide to Dubrovnik by Dear Mummy Blog. “I’ve haven’t yet watched Game of Thrones (I’m clearly missing out) I have however been to Dubrovnik several times and like Baby Isabella’s mum fell in love with the walled city. It should be on the top of everyones travel wish list!”
Claire has read lots of similar posts, but this one about why the 5 Lost Together Family travelled with young kids really struck a cord with her. They’ve given their kids some epic experiences that no classroom can replicate!
To find out who we have chosen as the winner of the Lonely Planet guide see Sarah’s post.
