Travel with kids tips & inspo 🌍🌺 Creative family ideas 🌟 Saved by grace ➡️ Follow our adventures!

Cerrado los lunes! 😟☀️ We showed up at the zoo onl

Cerrado los lunes! 😟☀️ We showed up at the zoo only to discover it was closed on Mondays.

Thankfully, our family has gotten pretty good at pivoting when plans change. Instead of heading home, we set off on a mile-long walk to Centro Histórico Mérida and turned an unexpected detour into an adventure.

We explored local markets, enjoyed tacos and sopa de lima for lunch, and let the kids burn off energy at a park. The Mérida heat definitely called for a treat, so we stopped for fruit bars that cost just 40 pesos (about $2.50) each. We made it home just in time for Juliet’s nap!

Next time, we’ll check the zoo schedule before we go. But honestly, this unexpected change of plans turned into a pretty great day!

✨ Takeaways:

• Travel helps build resilient kids. When plans change, they learn to adapt, stay positive, and enjoy the adventure anyway.

• Some of our best experiences happen when things don’t go as planned. The zoo will still be there another day! 🦓🐊🦛

• We’re growing in Spanish every day. The kids are becoming more confident with pronunciation, casual phrases, and new vocabulary as we navigate life in Mexico.

💬 What do you want to know about our life in Mexico?

Hi! We’re the Wallace family. 👋😀 We love traveling with our 4 kids, homeschooling, and exploring!

Hola from Mérida! 🇲🇽☀️ Our first week has been challenging and rewarding as we settle into life in Mexico with our 4 kids!

• We’re finding our new normal, discovering favorite stores, trying grocery delivery, getting used to air-drying clothes and doing dishes (no clothes dryer or dishwasher).

• We’ve almost finished all steps for receiving our family’s permanent residency cards. Praying for successful completion!

• Also experiencing frequent tropical afternoon downpours, magnificent and soaking! 🌴

• Being without city water for 20 hours, which impacted washing dishes and taking showers. We used our rooftop water tank sparingly.

• House hunting & touring several long term rental houses; we hope to find a good fit for our stay-at-home lifestyle and hosting too!

I keep reminding myself that we moved here! We’re not just visiting for a few weeks. 🤯😄

Overall, we’re grateful. ☀️🙂 It’s been a good first week, and we’re excited to continue settling in and discovering what life in Mérida has in store for our family!

I can’t believe in 2 days, we head to Merida, Mexico to live there for two years! 🇲🇽 Our goal is to gain dual citizenship, work on learning Spanish, and get to know the local culture. We also look forward to welcoming baby # 5 in October, another GIRL! 🩷🦩🥰

North Idaho has been so good to us, and we will miss our friends and family!

Thanks for praying for our family on our journey! 🩵🌎

We loved visiting this destination on our trip with kids to England. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏰 It was also a great place to soak up the rainy UK weather. 😀🌧️

Would you visit Fountains Abbey?

Juliet couldn’t walk yet and just wanted to experience this iconic destination in Rome like everyone else! 😊 Thankfully, no one complained.

So amazing! 🇮🇹 The Spanish Steps are a famous staircase in Rome that connect the Piazza di Spagna to the Trinità dei Monti church, built in the 18th century. With 135 steps, it’s a fun spot to pause, people watch, and take in the lively culture of the city!
