Fathers day is coming up this weekend so on my own search for the perfect Fathers Day gift, I rounded up some of the best ideas I found and made this list of the top 10 fathers day gifts for dads who love to travel or just love the outdoors!

One day Jackson and I were talking about taking a long weekend somewhere cooler that actually felt like fall and the next, we booked tickets to Chicago! A cold front hit the day we landed and we were completely unprepared. Our first stop after getting into the city was Ross to find a coat for Eliot (and me!).

Last year, my best friend and I happened to be pregnant at the same time. It was honestly the best, sharing in that season! We knew we had to convince the guys to let us do a double babymoon and we all agreed on Santa Fe! We had the best time. Santa Fe is a great babymoon destination because there’s honestly not a ton to do. No pressure to see tons of sites but instead, tons of great food and cultural options to make for a relaxing babymoon.

A couple years ago we were seriously feeling the travel bug, but didn’t have much money. We decided to take a long weekend trip and go somewhere we’d never been, brining a 10 month old Eliot along with us.

We found cheap tickets into LA and out of San Francisco and decided to just go for it! When you have time to take a trip but want to make sure to save money where you can, I highly recommend being open to your destination and looking for deals rather than specific locations! When we found these tickets, we could have gone to LA, Chicago or Fort Lauderdale all for under $75 roundtrip/person.

For years, my family had talked about going to Colorado for Christmas. Every other year we do Christmas with my grandparents, aunt and uncle and cousins. This year everyone finally agreed was the year to do it, so we found an airbnb and had one of the best Christmas’s ever!

A couple weeks ago, we felt the travel bug and decided somewhat last minute to take a family vacation to Ruidoso! I have a more in depth blog post all about our trip (and how Covid affected it) here!

If you’re looking for some tips on a trip to Ruidoso, I’ve given you all of our favorite places to Eat, Hike and Play!

One of our favorite things to do in new cities is check out local coffee shops! After years of swearing off coffee, I was finally successful in getting Jackson to become a coffee lover while we lived in Frankfurt. He’s now 10x the coffee snob that I am and our kitchen is full of craft coffee tools and pour overs and single-origin beans and other things that I only kind of understand. Denver has some of our favorite coffee shops and after trying out plenty, here are 5 of our go-to Denver coffee shops!

Staying in Airbnb’s are our favorite way to travel! More space, a kitchen and more sleeping areas mean for a lot less stress for us!

Our family, like I’m sure most of yours, has been feeling real cooped up lately.

With most of our typical “go-to” places closed because of Covid-19, we’ve spent most of our time since March at home, in our backyard or in my parents pool (praise God for that pool).

Back before we had Eliot, we lived in Germany for a little under a year working with refugees. After we found out that I was pregnant and decided to head back to Texas, we knew we wanted to take advantage of being in Germany and go somewhere fun for a little babymoon!

Paris is one of my favorite cities and Jackson had never been, so off to Paris we went!
