We can’t wait to get our boys out to Oregon- it’s so beautiful, I love the focus on keeping it that way!! The family style bike looks amazing! Pinned for future reference!

Oh my gosh no we didn’t! The girls would LOVE that – we’ll have to add it to our restaurants list for next time.

I love the mason jar idea, too. Or light-weight cups. Your photos make me want to jump in the car and head to Bend. Did you visit the restaurant with the huge live tree in the middle of the dining room? Guessing Edie would’ve climbed up and eaten lunch from one of its limbs. Keep on posting!

In reply to Renee | The Good Hearted Woman. Renee, thank you for the callout for reusable chopsticks. I typically carry my used wooden chopsticks until I can compost them in a yard waste bin, but having reusable ones of my own would be so much better. Great idea!

It’s important to be sustainable and eco-friendly even when travelling to be able to help mother earth!

These are all excellent tips for sustainable travel with kids, and so many of them translate to our everyday, non-vacation lives. For about a year, now, I’ve carried a reusable straw and chopsticks everywhere, and it amazes me how often I use them, and how many disposables I’ve turned down. Every little bit we do matters. Also, I think it’s wonderful that you are teaching your kiddos by example what really matters.
