Hello, wonderful followers of Us Along the Way! It’s been a while, but we’re thrilled to announce not just our upcoming trip to Disney in February but also the grand relaunch of our blog!

You might be wondering, “Where have you been?” Well, our digital journey took a slight detour when Thomas, in an effort to improve our blog, accidentally deleted our original site during a host migration. Life, as it often does, got busy, and we didn’t find the time to rebuild – until now!

Since we first started traveling with our kids back in 2018, our lives have been a whirlwind of adventure. Remember when we traded our Chicago apartment for three years of life in a van? Those memories are still vivid and cherished. Now, we’re balancing our wanderlust with life in both Chicago and Austin, embracing the best of both worlds.

Our journey hasn’t just been about the places we’ve visited; it’s been a profound learning experience for us and our children. Homeschooling on the road has opened up a universe of education and bonding. We’ve grown, laughed, and learned together, and we can’t wait to share these invaluable insights with you.

As we relaunch Us Along the Way, expect to see some of our favorite posts revived, alongside exciting new content. We’ll be detailing everything – from planning our trips to the day-to-day joys and challenges of family travel, family business, and homeschooling

And, of course, our upcoming Disney trip! We’ll share every step of our journey, from booking to the magical moments in Walt Disney World. It’s not just a trip; it’s an experience, and we’re eager to bring you along every step of the way.

Thank you for being part of our journey. We’ve missed sharing our adventures with you and are so excited to be back. Stay tuned for more updates, travel tips, and family fun!

With love and wanderlust, Tiana, Thomas, Griffin, and Adair
