    At these ages, one of the best things parents can do for their kids is to create beautiful memories for them. When they grow up, they will always remember these days fondly, and know the value of the time spent together, and cherish warmth of their family. I hope they will grow up to be healthy and happy individuals. All the best.

    When I was a kid (35 years ago) we travelled a couple of times with a train from Germany to Turkey with the whole family, I'm still remembering it and whenever i'm think about it; it makes my heart feel warm :) I'm missing the old long train journeys...

    What a great video. Great experience for Hays and Yoni. Hays was particularly cute in this video and what a great train traveler. My big aha moment was how to properly stuff a pillow in a pillow case. Thanks Pete! BTW, who made up the best bed, Steph or Pete? Second aha moment was Steph's recommendation of picking an album for a big trip and permission that it doesn't need to be Taylor Swift. Biggest let down was that you didn't get some better video of bears and beavers, reminds me of Pete and Hays fishing for squid on trip to Halong Bay.

Roads are wider there and of course architecture is similar to Russian architecture. 🙃 Don’t miss Kars gravyer cheese , Hangel , Feselli & Hasuda . Fill your stomach well 😄 Enjoy !

    I didn't know you were a DJ! I use Artlist for music as I think it sounds a bit more like "real" music than some of the other services, but I really don't know anything at all about music and just pick what sounds good. :) I do love when folks compliment the choices though, so thank you! And cool to know that there are artists people know and like on Artlist!
