Traveling Around Jordan: Aqaba

By Marisa Lerin Wed, 05/22/2013 - 03:21

Over the weekend we had the chance for a quick getaway to Aqaba, which is down on the Red Sea. It's significantly hotter down there at sea level in the desert, it usually stays around 100F/40C. There's great scuba diving and snorkeling, although this time we just relaxed by the pool.

New: Tunisia Bundle

Tunisia Bundle

This week's bundle comes to you from Tunisia! Tunisia is an important country to us because it's where Jordan was born and lived the first 11 years of his life. Last summer we were able to take a trip there with his family, which was my first time, to visit lots of places with special memories.

The colors and designs from this kit were influenced by a town called Sidi Bou Said, which is famous for its blue and white houses.
