Welcome!

Welcome to our blog! This is all about the adventures of our little family. Shane (chiropractor, travel lover and VW fanatic) is the dad. Heather (tv journalist, yogi, nature lover, history buff and slight adventurer) is the mom. They boys are Kelan (big brother, rocker, Minecraft-aholic and wannabe Indiana Jones) and Ian (little brother, train lover and male Dora the Explorer.)

We are creating this blog as Shane and I prepare for a trip to Peru so friends and family can travel along with us as we celebrate our 40th birthdays and cross an adventure off our bucket list.

Comments are welcome and encouraged.

Enjoy and namaste,
Heather
