Yes, We’re Bringing the Children!
“Are you bringing the children?” without a doubt, every time I tell people we’ve booked a trip at least one person asks me this question! My response is almost always a great big “yes, of course”.

Do What You Love
Welcome to the first blog post for Vacations by Chrissy! We were recently having a discussion with our children about future career choices which made me think about my own.
