St. Clair Travel Living Family
Everyday Adventure
From riding a bike to ordering new foods in a different language When each of our children turned two, we started them on a balance bike. These low-to-the-ground two-wheelers have no pedals and no training wheels. With their feet on the ground as they walk the bike, kids can develop balance and coordinate movements, eventually …
Diary of a Globetrotting Family: Global offices, big life questions, indoor leopard, shuttle surprise in Siem Reap Ah, December! In short sleeves and sandals. Starting to look ahead toward Christmas, it’s going to be a very different holiday season for us. Still. With Chiang Rai being such a great family destination, we put aside thoughts …
Diary of a Globetrotting Family: Chiang Mai, Thailand Ever since Huatulco, something has happened to my dreams. Not “what I want out of life” dreams. Those are coming true. But my good ole fashioned middle of the night dreams? Those have gotten strange. All my dreams have become about travel. In one, the four of …
Diary of a Globetrotting Family: New city excitement… but also sad news from home I’ve never held with the idea that travel is about “getting away.” Wherever you are, there you are, and so are all the other parts of your life. Even when something is far away, it’s still part of you, distant but …

Diary of a Globetrotting Family: Tricky tamarind, Jellyfishese, drink this cactus, bionique, and surf’s up, just cross this river Traveling the world? Sure. But we are also grocery shopping, taking care of schoolwork, running our business, and doing all the normal ins and outs of regular life too—albeit, not usually with a door-shaped hole in …
Diary of a Globetrotting Family: Lunch on the beach, snorkeling, our daily adventure, Connor’s teeth, and… a brothel? Peaceful days in a place full of good people. And with an excellent bakery down the street. As we have settled into La Crucecita, the main town in the beachside region of Huatulco, on Mexico’s Pacific Coast, …
Diary of a Globetrotting Family: Tamales, huge garden, churros, one ancient city, and a really hard day Our first week in Oaxaca, Mexico, began with joyful discoveries and ended with a serendipitous party invitation. Our second and final week in the capital city of Oaxaca, held a few other planned adventures, along with what would …
A newlywed wish comes true: Our family of four rides the FRS Clipper from Seattle to Victoria, BC, and back again On the calm September morning, the first rays of the rising late-summer Friday sun touched the green, tree-shrouded islands to the west. The tang of salty air brightened our eyes as we looked out …
Diary of a Globetrotting Family: How about we go to Mexico today? By 3:30 in the morning, Jodie and I were dressed but half asleep, sitting on the bed in my dad’s guest room in Virginia, waiting for Oaxaca. Originally we thought we’d let the kids sleep in a little longer, but then we saw …
