Welcome to  Creating Happy Memories, where we – Lee, Ana, and our two sons Alexander (6) and Lucas (7 months) – share our family adventures across the UK and beyond. Our blog is a chronicle of our journeys, big and small, as we explore everything from sandy beaches to historic National Trust sites.

We’re passionate about discovering the hidden gems in our own backyard, with a particular love for sightseeing and sampling local cuisines. While we currently focus on UK travel, we’re excited to document our upcoming international adventures as we save for trips further afield.

Join us as we navigate the joys and challenges of traveling with a curious six-year-old and an adventurous baby. Whether you’re looking for family-friendly destination ideas, tips on balancing sightseeing with nap times, or simply want to share in our experiences, we invite you to be part of our journey. From coastal walks to castle explorations, we’re here to show that family travel can be both exciting and enriching, no matter the age of your little ones.
