Our family had such a wonderful time traveling this summer and sharing our travel experiences as an Alamo brand ambassador.  It was our goal to get off the tourist path and really explore the local culture while creating special memories and really cultivating family bonds that will last a lifetime.

To celebrate our trip and to share our experiences of going ‘beyond basic’ with our friends, we threw a fun travel party to pass on some amazing Alamo gifts to send them off on their own family travel adventures – well equipped. 😉

// All these snacks actually make great travel snacks!  Just throw them in a zip lock baggie and you are good to go!  P.S. Why are ‘pigs in a blanket’ SO GOOD?! //
