Way back in 2015, I wrote about this world-traveling family’s 20 Most Memorable Moments of 2014. But our journey had only just started — we continued hopping across the globe for a good portion of 2015. Here are the 35 things we experienced in 2015 that we regularly talk about.
› This summer we're packing up and hitting the road to experience that great tradition—the Epic American Road Trip. We'll be traveling the highways and byways of the United States, journeying through 17 states in three weeks. Join us, won't you?
After leaving England, we had a three-day layover in Iceland, a small island country the locals call a land of ice and fire. On our first day, we got the lay of the land in Reykjavik, along with a history lesson or two, and some delicious hot dogs.
Way back around the year 120, Roman Emperor Hadrian built a giant wall too keep the wildmen out of the northern border of the Roman Empire. Parts of that wall still stand today.
During our 333-day trip around the world, I filmed one second of video for each day we were traveling. Well, kind of. When it was all over, all that footage was turned into a six-minute video that nicely chronicles our journey. And you can see that video right here.
› The United States is vast. So vast, we couldn't do everything we wanted to do. But, during the course of a few days in July, we took in some pretty monumental sights—and a few that weren't so monumental.
› Iceland prides itself on being a land of ice and fire, and today we saw that first-hand when we toured the Golden Circle. We visited icy waterfalls, boiling glaciers, and the true birthplace of human democracy. It was an epic day.

We spent a lot of time in London, and that included some adventures into the wilds of Greater London, a really huge collection of boroughs and neighborhoods surrounding the City of London.
Even though our Royal London Walking Tour was over, we just kept going to see what else London had to offer the world traveling family.
It took us a few days, but this morning we decided it was time to head to Covent Garden and hook up with the Sandeman's Free Walking Tour of London.
After we left Brighton on Wednesday, our next goal was Stratford-upon-Avon. But we went the long way around and checked out Mapperton Gardens and the Jurassic Coast.
We spent a few more relaxing days in Amsterdam and tried hard to not pack too much in on any one day.
After driving through Germany into the Netherlands and checking into our houseboat on the canal, we decided it was time to take another Sandeman's Free Walking Tour.
Although my pocketbook was still a little light from losing a €10 bet about the outcome of the Juventus vs Barcelona UEFA championship to my eight-year-old daughter, we still had a day to explore more of Berlin.
