Boulder, Colorado ⛰ Have you been? We went to Denver a couple weeks ago and decided to spend a day in Boulder and I am so glad we did! It was absolutely my favorite part of the trip! My favorite things to do in Boulder: -Flatiron Mountains (Next time I will bring hiking clothes and go hike to them) -Pearl Street Mall. There are so many cute and unique shops. My favorites were the art shop and bookstores -Drive up Boulder Creek Canyon -Renting bikes and riding along Boulder Creek Path -Driving up Flagstaff Road and enjoying the beautiful views! It is easily someplace I could go back to! It is just gorgeous there! Have you been to Boulder, Colorado? Did you love it?

On our recent trip to Denver, Savana and I went to see one of her favorite bands, @wallowsmusic. I knew a few of their songs but I was no super fan like her. So me and thousands of teenage girls headed to see them. I was probably one of 3 moms in the whole audience but what better way to feel like a young cool kid again?!? I asked her if she was embarrassed to be there with her mom as a 16 year old and she said no, so I call that a huge win! We had so much fun and to be honest, now I am listening to lots of Wallows! They're really great and their music is super catchy. What is it about seeing someone live that makes them so good? Have you ever ended up liking a band after you've seen them in concert? I had a blast with my "not too cool for her mom" teenager and loved the bonding time and the coming into her world and doing something that means a lot to her. I think that's what really makes having teens fun is when you get out there and have fun doing what they love to do. For Savana right now, it's music everything, all day, every day. I may be the exception but I actually love having teenagers and think they are really really fun! What have you done lately with your kids that you know will be a core memory for both of you for life? . . . . . #wallows #wallowsmusic #missionballroom #denvertravel #denvercolorade #coloradotravel #momofteens #teensarecool #dowhattheylove #traveltheglobe #placestogo #bestintravel #traveladdicts #familytravel #takethekids #familytrip #travelusa #imacoolmom #travelfam #vacationmemories #usaontheroad #familytravelling #loveyourtimetogether #familytravelmoment #traveleverywhere #makingmemoriestogether #17miletravels

We are in the process of planning another trip to Seattle. Chris has conference there in September and my kids really want to go back. We absolutely loved Seattle and I am so excited! When you visit somewhere again, do you tend to do the same things you did last time or find new things to do and see? I am super nostalgic so I love doing the same things again and again but I also love to incorporate some new adventures as well! What are your favorite things to do in Seattle?

Having airport "perks" makes such a huge different in how stressful traveling is or isn't. Yes, some of these things do cost a little bit but time is money and not waiting in line saves so much time and headache! ✈️ •Clear-We pay for Clear which is $189 for the first family member and $60 a year for each additional family member. Clear sets up your identity the first time you go through and after that, you scan your eyes or fingerprint and they take you right through. This saves time waiting in the security line and you no longer have to take out your ID or passport. •TSA Precheck- TSA Precheck is where it's at! I will never not have it! You pay $85 for 5 years which is equal to $17 a year per person. And if you have the Delta Skymiles AMEX, they reimburse you the $85! I can't envision a world where that isn't worth it, even if you only travel a little bit. With Precheck, you don't have to take off your shoes, jacket or take anything out of your bag. Just walk up and send your stuff on through. Plus there is almost never a line. If you have to choose between the 2, I would 100% choose precheck, hands down. Travel doesn’t have to be hard or stressful! Have any questions? Comment below!
