Travel Inspiration

Our family has long subscribed to the travel theory that if a place is semi difficult to reach it is WELL worth the effort. This travel ethic or perhaps habit? is why we pounced at the opportunity to reside in the super luxe Refuge de Solaise on top of a mountain above the tres chic ski village of Val d’Isere, France over the kid’s FINAL High School spring break…Continue Reading

I think we’ve made it fairly clear that Grab Your Group & GO is dedicated to celebrating and embracing the power of connecting through shared experiences.

I loved following her road tripping travels on FB this past July so much that we invited her to share her experience here. Share away Jill!Continue Reading
