Baby’s first international trip was a success! ✈️ 🎉

We picked Beaches Resorts in Turks and Caicos for a few reasons: it’s all-inclusive, on a gorgeous beach, extremely family friendly and has FREE childcare. My only regret is that Brie isn’t old enough yet to enjoy all the incredible included activities like kids programs, a weekly street parade, crafts, water sports, movie nights on the beach, kids yoga, water slides, a lazy river, surf simulator…it’s amazing how much there is to do here for all ages!

Beaches also has good options if you’re visiting without a kiddo. There are two spas, multiple restaurants including a few that are adult-only, cocktail bars, diving, kayaking and snorkeling, and special pool areas.

Such a great experience all around and I def hope we can go back again when B is older! ☀️🌴

I’m all about gifting experiences over things, and there are some stellar travel deals out there for including from the Rocky Mountaineer. Their 2025 schedule is out, with savings of up to $2800 per couple on select routes!

I’ve been lucky to experience their trips in both 🇨🇦 (Vancouver to Jasper) and 🇺🇸 (Utah to Colorado) and they’re a stellar way to see incredible scenery without lifting a finger. Oh and did I mention gourmet dining, cocktails and fine wines? 🙌

Head to their site for full booking details, and check out this post for all the details on what these bucket list-worthy trips are like!

The Rocky Mountaineer train has multi-day trips that give passengers a front row seat to breathtaking scenery in the Canadian Rockies and American Southwest.
