About Family Trip Guides

Hi! I’m Jennifer and I ❤ traveling with my kids and sharing travel recommendations with other families! (More formal bio below)

I am a mom to 2 curious kiddos and grew up living all around the US and overseas in Egypt, the Netherlands, and Germany. I created FamilyTripGuides.com to help make family travel easy wherever your travels take you.

I love exploring the DC area with my kids and sharing our experiences with other families. We've lived in the DC area for 12 years. I was featured in The Washington Post, Washington Parent and written for 80 other blogs and websites. Recently I had the honor of being interviewed for Visit Fairfax's Local Expert Q&A. And I've had the pleasure of being a guest on 2 great podcasts about the best for kids in the DC area, Trip Hacks DC podcast and the Keep Calm, Mother On podcast.

I am most proud of the free DMV with Kids Database on my website with over 500 kid-friendly spots, which can be filtered by 10 criteria such as free/paid, indoor/outdoor, different age groups, and more.

I would love to hear what would be helpful to you and your family on Instagram!

Happy exploring!✨

- Jennifer
