Finland: Christmas for Thanksgiving
Everything about Rovaniemi, Finland, is magical. It’s the only word for it. This short three-day trip was worth every penny for us. When you step off the plane and enter the airport to collect your bags, there is a Santa sled and eight tiny reindeer overhead. Luckily, we were there over Thanksgiving break in 2017. I was just a few months pregnant with our baby girl – big enough to not fit in the snow pants I had just bought, but luckily not big enough to not fit into my husband’s snow pants. My poor husband ended up wearing two pairs of sweatpants for the rest of the trip to…

Bali Part 2: Bohemian Bali
PartyofSix: After leaving the Beach Bali portion of our August 2019 trip to Bali, we used Bali Honest Driver to get around for the rest of our trip. (You can also find them on Facebook.) Our driver picked us up from Besakih and we traveled to Ubud, stopping along the way to visit the Batuan temple, Tegenungan waterfall, and the famous Monkey Forest.

I don’t think they would have turned…

Welcome to Four Six World Trips
Welcome to our Four Six World Trips blog. It was born out of our desire to adventure with our four children, taking them to each of the continents except Antarctica. It’s not that we’re ruling that one out, it’s just really expensive and they’ll probably have to do that one on their own. We initially planned to accomplish this in a single year (our #FourSixTwelve plan) but we got interrupted by COVID. Still, Four Six World Trips is pretty cool on its own. Our posts will mostly talk about our experiences, whether abroad or a bit closer to our home in the U.S. on the Georgia/South Carolina border. Some trips…
