Epic Universe Trip 2025

Welcome to LoDownAdventures!

Welcome to LoDownAdventures! I am Lauren and I like to travel. Ok I like to plan travel. I drag my family on my planned adventures and watch them tear my plans to shreds. Then I buy myself a snack and take some photos. We definitely have our routines and preferences but we’ve learned a lot and I’m hoping we can continue to expand our horizons as our kids get older...
