We are a family of five that decided to leave our normal lives behind and travel around the world for 180 days. Joey and I are both physicians back home in Lexington, KY and our kids are Wilson (a smart, funny, pragmatic 14 year old who approaches life with the wisdom of an 80 year old and the mischievous grin of someone who gets the inside joke), Bailey (an opinionated, strong-willed, compassionate 12 year old who never misses anything and may rule the world someday), and Gus (an energetic, passionate 9 year old who lives every second of his waking life with everything he has and would give the shirt off his back to ease the suffering of an earthworm). We love traveling, trying new things, meeting awesome people, eating good food, and adventure sports. In this blog, we will be sharing the stories of the places we experience along the way. We will share our successes and our failures in hopes that this is inspiring, helpful, and entertaining to our friends, family, and anyone else who happens to discover us. For more on why we decided to do this, see our blog post on “Traveling is my favorite thing”. Read More About Our Philosophy.

Tips for a smooth family ski trip to Steamboat Springs, Colorado
Steamboat Springs is a quaint ski town in the Yampa River valley with ample lodging and a great selection of restaurants and shops. As a ski destination, Steamboat has a few perks over other Colorado resorts.
1. You can fly directly into Steamboat and avoid the drive on I-70 from Denver.
2. Kids under the age of 13 ski free with a 5 day adult ski pass.
3. Since it is a solid 3 hours from Denver, it doesn't get as much weekend traffic as resorts closer to Colorado’s most populated city.
4. It’s a decent sized city with a wider selection of amenities than other ski towns.
5. They get good early season snow and are known for their “champagne powder.”
