ABOUT ME

Welcome! I am Jessica, the Mom in the Long Family that gets through my days and weeks daydreaming about our next family getaway. I love traveling as a way to spend quality family time in a new place trying new foods and spending time together! 

I use this blog to share any information that I have found helpful, as well as share some of my best tips and tricks to make your trips go as well as possible, because everyone knows traveling with children comes with challenges!  I think it is totally worth it though!
