We spent a week over Labor Day up in the Black Hills at my parents’ cabin. The Black Hills are near to my heart – they have always been my family’s “place.” My grandparents lived in South Dakota my entire life, so Kendra and I spent at least one week every year back up in the Hills visiting grandparents.
Last week, I blogged Part 1 of our trip to the Hills this year. So, today I’m sharing even more pictures from the latter half of our trip.
Read moreThe Black Hills in South Dakota are my home away from home. A piece of my heart belongs to those Hills. My parents are from Rapid City, SD, which is the city at the base of the Black Hills. They moved to Kansas City before Kendra, my sister, or I were born for better career opportunities, but both of my sets of grandparents still lived in South Dakota. My mom’s parents built a cabin in the Hills when I was super young, so we went back to visit our grandparents and stay in the Hills at least once a year over the course of my whole life.
Read moreI need advice. We’ve conquered traveling with Harrison by air. I even wrote about the things I wish I had known before traveling with a toddler by air.
We did roadtrips last year when Harrison was still a teeny tiny baby. And while traveling by car is not my preferred mode of transportation, it’s a necessary evil.

Our little family hasn’t shied away from vacations this summer. We are making up for lost time jetsetting the country after forgoing most vacations during my pregnancy and Harrison’s first year of life. This time we headed south to Blue Mountain Beach with Nathan’s family for a week of being beach bums.

We recently got back from our first trip as a family. Nathan and I loved traveling when it was just the two of us, and it was really important to us that Harrison grow up understanding the importance of being flexible, that comes with travel, not to mention the exposure to people that aren’t just like him – different cultures, history, etc.

It’s the final day of my recap of our Boston trip. Boston was the first trip that we took as a family aside from visiting family, and we had the BEST TIME. Nathan’s parents, Harrison’s Gigi and Pops, came with us. This was the final day of our trip, and it was the Fourth of July! In Boston! I can’t think of a more perfect place to be on the Fourth. If you missed the first parts of our trip, you can find Part One and Part Two of the recap earlier on the blog.

This is Part Two of our Boston trip. We had so much fun taking our little guy on his first vacation with his Gigi and Pops! If you missed PART ONE make sure to check it out!
I didn’t think anything could top our first full day in Boston, but I was wrong. Our day started out with little man exploring his new digs in the hotel room.

This winter, Nathan and I were debating on whether it was time to take Harrison on his first big vacation. Nathan had the super smart idea that each of us would write three places that we wanted to go, and we would draw one – and that’s where we would go for our first little Lane family vacation. And the winner was…..BOSTON!
I had never been to Boston – so I was so excited to explore a new city. We decided that Harrison’s first trip – and first airplane ride could only be made better by inviting Nathan’s parents – Gigi & Pops. We asked if they’d be up for the trip, and I don’t think we even finished asking before they had agreed! So we were off!
