Don’t let the baby fool you. We will take suspic Don’t let the baby fool you. We will take suspicious people down. 😁💪We’ve learned some interesting things while traveling in the last few weeks! First of all, pickpocketing is very prevalent in Europe, and we may have witnessed it. We haven’t been targeted because we have crossbody bags which keep our valuables close to the chest. Also, we’re not very chatty with strangers who don’t speak English. 🤷‍♀️Evidently pickpockets use fake petitions or charity causes, uncommon friendliness, children, and distractions to steal your valuables. We’ve seen some of these people try to compel us to sign papers on their clipboards, or give our kids a free bracelet. That was a NO from us, but we didn’t really know what was up until recently. Also! Evidently people trying to sell you things for one euro on the street are just trying to locate where your wallet is. 🤯 We buy things with coins, separate our credit cards among bags, and keep friendliness short. Kinda sad, right?? I already have natural situational awareness, but I am thankful to keep on learning things as we travel! I’m also praying for ongoing safety and wisdom. Also, I would say these people aren’t dangerous, but just sneaky. I haven’t felt in danger at all so far. But I think it’s common for locals to think opportunistically about tourists. I feel kind of bad for some, but then I remember it’s a racket.⁉️ Have you encountered pickpocketing or thieves while traveling??#createplaytravel #travelingwithkids #travelsafety

Hidden gem alert: 😄 The fanciest secret bathroo Hidden gem alert: 😄 The fanciest secret bathroom I’ve ever been in! ✨Yerba Santa was a fun restaurant to experience — sophisticated, classy, and full of history. It’s located inside a stunning French-style mansion from 1908, once owned by a wealthy plantation owner. We love finding places with a story behind them!Would you explore a restaurant just for the historic building?🌟 Inspiring families to live creatively and make memories, through adventures! 🌎🩵#createplaytravel ➡️ follow along! @createplaytravel#familyadventure #datenightideas #secretroom #worldexplorers #meridamexico
