Searching for Alice: Places Around the World Where You Can Find Alice in Wonderland by exquisitEXPLORATIONS Travel Blog
Searching for Alice
It's no secret that I'm a fan of Alice in Wonderland. I have the animated 1951 Disney film practically memorized front to back. I love the live action remakes with Mia Wasikowska and Johnny Depp. I even love the animated 1988 Burbank Films Australia version of Alice in Wonderland.

If you're like me, you may wonder where you can find Alice in Wonderland-themed statues, restaurants, and shops.

Read on to find Alice around the world (besides the obvious Alice in Wonderland Ride at Disneyland).

Ten Reasons to Travel With Your Kids
I read a meme recently that said, "Traveling with kids isn't a vacation. It's just taking care of your kids in a different place." I laughed because of course there is some truth to that. But as parents we do not travel just to go on a nice, relaxing vacation. As kids get older and more self-sufficient, there will of course be times you will be able to relax and enjoy your vacation, but travel should be more than just lying around on a beach. Many of the reasons Marvin and I love to travel - for education, for cultural awareness, for personal growth, and for just a general change of scenery - are also reasons we want to travel with Emmett.

How to Overcome Travel-Related Fears
Let's start right off by defining what this article is not. This is not an article for seasoned travelers. If you already know what you're doing and have no worries when it comes to travel, you do not need this article. This is also not an article for people who have no desire to travel. Some people are homebodies, and that's totally cool. If you are content at home with all your creature comforts, this article is not aimed at you. And this is not an article for those who love to travel but are simply limited by budget or time constraints.

However, if you are a beginner traveler, and you want to travel but feel overwhelmed when you even start thinking about maybe trying to plan a family vacation, this is for you. You are not alone. Others feel the same worry and even dread when it comes to planning and executing a family trip. But this post is full of tips to help you set yourself up for vacation success.

How to Travel Scotland With Kids
Traveling with kids can be a challenge, but it can also be incredibly rewarding. Emmett and I recently flew to Scotland to visit family and do some site-seeing. Though there are number of places I avoided, like fine art museums and ghost tours, you'll find many toddler- and kid-friendly activities in Scotland - both indoor and outdoor.

I wrote this article with a great deal of help from my cousin Sarah. She and her family live in Scotland and are always on the lookout for fun things to do with kids in Scotland. Sarah writes her own blog called The Walkers Abroad, where you'll find beautiful photos, more ideas for things to do in Scotland, and general advice for navigating life with your offspring.
