Welcome!

I’m Jenna

Lover of Travel Planning

That’s right – I actually enjoy building the itinerary (almost!) as much as going on the vacation itself.

Along the way, I’ve learned so many tools and techniques that I want to pass along to you! I hope to inspire you to plan family trips that are just as unique as you are.  Whether for day trips close to home, or those a plane ride away, I hope you gain a few tips and the confidence to build the itineraries meant for YOU!

Discover new destinations, packing guides, and travel planning tips to help you build the best itineraries for your family.

Behind the blog

How it all started

For years, I’ve loved planning our trips. Whether for days close to home or journeys far away, I have spent hours refining our trips.

The more I thought about it, and the more I shared details of our itineraries with family and friends, I began to realize that I built itineraries that fit us – unique stays, delicious food, museums, hikes, kids’ experiences, stops that only locals make, and the biggest tourist attractions – all scheduled in a way that we could actually enjoy our vacations.

From this idea, Journeys in the Making was born!
