The internet can bring the world to your fingertips... literally! The web is heavily saturated with amazing travel sites, many geared specifically toward family travel.  But family travel blogs are as unique as the families whose adventures they record; so it can be hard to figure out which sites offer the best content for your needs. After all, some sites offer  valuable expertise, some motivation to start your family's trip, and some, simply heart-warming tales of the lives of those who have chosen to explore the world as a family!  This week, I've chosen four of my personal favorites to share; check out these inspiring sites created by families who have generously chosen to share their experiences exploring our amazing world:

1. Travel Mamas - With a beautiful, clean, fun layout and articles on topics from family travel to great grown-up getaways, Travel Mamas delivers a ton of invaluable information!  Don't miss the comprehensive packing lists and helpful travel tips.
2. 100 Routes Across America - Another outstanding resource; with amazing road trip itineraries for all parts of the US and phenomenal tips, reviews and pointers for great food along the way!
3. Two Kids and a Map - A riotous account of one family’s travels through the good, the bad, and the ugly; whether down the street, across the country, or even around the world, this site will leave you entertained and informed.
4. Pit Stops for Kids - A place to share reviews of the places you’ve stopped during road trips, and to benefit from the experience and information other parents have to offer!  This community of parents shares a goal as well as a philosophy; find great stopovers and destinations for kids, after all, it’s as much about the journey as the destination!

Each of these fantastic blogs offers invaluable information, inspiration, and perspective; so if you aspire to a life less ordinary, take advantage of the wit and wisdom of these bloggers and get inspired to set your family travel plans into action!  Wherever the road may take you, may you always enjoy safe and happy travels!
