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.
We spent three weeks exploring Spain, driving from Madrid to Toledo and Granada before heading back up to Valencia and then Barcelona. We didn't have any expectations for Spain, but as it turns out we loved each city more than the one before. Here's what we saw.

After touring Luxembourg City the previous day, we dedicated this day to exploring the rest of Luxembourg ... and a little bit of Belgium.
Luxembourg is one of the smallest sovereign nations in Europe. Despite its size, it plays an important role in the foundation of Europe — both in ancient times and the modern age.
After a few days in Prague, We were off to Regensburg, Germany for a one-night stop. But first, before we left the Czech Republic for good, we had to stop at the town of Plzn to visit the Pilsner-Urquell Brewery.
Here are the ten ways Jackie and Frankie have kept busy on planes, trains, automobiles, and boats during our travels:
Right in the heart of Josefov, Prague's Jewish Town, you will find one of the most famous (and mot crowded) cemeteries in the world — Prague’s Old Jewish Cemetery.
A Gothic charnel house with an upper chapel and an underground Ossuary.
We knew next to nothing about Prague, so we headed out to Old Town Prague to hook up with the Sandeman's New Prague free walking tour (like we do in any city we can).
Today, 16 June 2015 is our 300th day traveling around the world. Here are some statistics we've racked up so far.
