Packing for Iceland seemed so daunting. I made a few great decisions and a few mistakes so I decided to make a list of what to pack for Iceland for you so that you can be prepared for your next trip to Iceland! 

If you missed our Family Trip to Iceland blog post, then definitely check that out. We spent almost two weeks there and it was so much fun. Going into the trip though, I was so confused on what should be on our Iceland packing list. Once you do a bit of research on Iceland, you’ll be able to key in on what types of activities you will be doing. 

If you are super active, then you will need very good rainproof gear and if you are more likely to spend time in the car and just stop at the main sights, then of course, you’ll need less active gear. For us, we were planning on being active but no hiking over three hours and no camping. We knew we wanted to explore outside and have the freedom to do that, so I tried to plan accordingly when packing for Iceland in April.

We recently got back from a family trip to Iceland! If you are searching for adventure, love seeing beautiful scenery – like waterfalls, glaciers and reindeer – and hiking is your jam, then you are going to love this. 

Early March, Luke heard that he was headed to London in April for a work trip. We always chat about Greyson and I tagging along on his work trips and extending the trip so that we can explore another country. After deciding on trying to see Paris, ultimately, the price point of the flights just didn’t make sense. Coming to this realization though was about a week’s worth of research, flight comparisons and saving locations that we wanted to visit. The travel bug bit hard. Well, anyways, we ultimately decided that Paris was too expensive to make it a tag-along trip for work. Instead, we randomly booked Iceland (not on a great deal or anything) because I basically, for once, was being spontaneous. 

I think we ended up booking the second to last week of March for the Iceland trip in April. That’s definitely tight turn around time for me. I’m a huge planner and there isn’t that much that you can plan for in just two weeks. Truth be told, though, we made some great decisions on the trip. I’ll go more into those details on future posts for those who are actually interested in hearing details/reviews. Today, I just wanted to share our family trip to Iceland and kinda soak in the memories once more.

Luke and I just got back from a great short trip to Boston. We’ve been there a few times before so, this time around, we focused on walking through neighborhoods and hitting as many of the “must-try” restaurants as we could. If you are planning a trip, or eventually want to go to Boston, I’ve included what we did and how to navigate the city.

3 Days in Boston :: Where to Eat and What to See

I’m going to give you all the pretty pictures and what they are first and then, at the end, I’ll break down all the restaurants and places by location (and give you a sample 3 day itinerary).

I’m sure you’ve seen this view a few hundred times, am I right? Acorn Street is just as beautiful in person as you would expect. We ended up in the area around 10am and had the street to ourselves. I think this area can get really busy so plan your trip accordingly if you want to get a few pictures on the street without people.

How adorable are the window boxes? I fell in love with the window boxes all over town. Boston really knows how to decorate their buildings!
