The Whangie walk is a medium-length, family-friendly hike in Scotland’s Kilpatrick Hills, near Loch Lomond. It’s known for its unusual rock formation, open hill views, and kid-friendly route. It’s a popular hike for the rock passage and views of Loch Lomond, but kids will especially like it for the rocks, which are easy and fun to climb on.
Destinations
Amsterdam with Kids
Amsterdam has a pretty wild reputation – the Red Light District, etc., but it also has an contrasting reputation as one of the best family destinations in Europe. With the wild side being the stronger mental image, we were a little nervous about how our visit to Amsterdam with kids would go. As it turns out, we had a great four days in Amsterdam with kids (ages 7 & 9). Yes, there were things I wish they hadn’t seen in store fronts, etc., but it’s amazing at what they don’t even notice.
Driving in Yucatan Mexico: Tips for First-Timers
I admit I was very intimidated about driving in the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico. On previous trips to the Yucatan, I’ve watched the Mexican traffic from the comfort of my air-conditioned bus on the way to my fancy all-inclusive and it always looked a bit crazy. But this time, we were staying off-resort and wanted to explore the area by driving a rental car around the Yucatan Peninsula.

Devil’s Garden Trail in Arches National Park With Kids
The Devil’s Garden Trail in Arches National Park has some of the park’s most outstanding scenery.

Capitol Reef National Park With Kids: Hikes + Tips
We visited Capitol Reef National Park with kids in early-May (our two kids were 5 & 3 years old at the time).

We were well aware of Utah’s other four super-star national parks, so we were intrigued to discover Utah has a fifth national park – Capitol Reef!
