With the kids being 5 and 6, one of the stops we’re hoping they will remember, even if only through pictures is the South Rim of the Grand Canyon.
Honestly, I don’t like the picture of us, only because we look ragged from road tripping all day long, but its the only picture I have of us visiting this beautiful spot.
We left Vegas after having one last breakfast with my mom and step dad and headed out on the road. First stop was the Hoover Dam, one of the largest of its time.
Driving down the 93, we followed the signs (and GPS) to The Hoover Dam. Our goal – to drive across the dam.
When the school year ends, and The Hubster finishes his softball season; we start planning our summer break. This year, we were invited by some friends to come up and visit them in Washington and we decided that this was the year for a family road trip.
Rather than flying, we decided to make some stops along the way to share some of the US with the kids. Besides, there were many sights we either hadn’t seen since we were kids, or had never seen. After doing a little research and figuring that each night hotels would cost us on average $200, my husband came up with the idea to look into an RV.
As a blogger, we get invited to fun events or unique opportunities every so often. One of my favorites happened just last week at Medieval Times Buena Park.
We were invited “behind the scenes” to meet the knights, horses and experience what it is like to be a part of the magic of Medieval Times Buena Park. For me, that was a magical experience because I am just in awe of the beauty of the horses and am a fan of the show.
With our latest new adventure: our 1st Camping Trip; I decided to commemorate the event with family game time. Our friends at Wonder Forge surprised us with two new Disney games: Planes Sky Race and Frozen Matching.
The creaters at Wonder Forge put together another couple of awesome family fun games. We started with Disney’s Planes Sky Race.
For Spring Break, we decided to head on down to San Diego and try camping – RV Style.
Now if you know me, I’m really not a camper. I recall being a kid and going with the YMCA once. Um, not a fun time because I was so freaked out a scorpion would join me in my sleeping bag in the middle of the night. Even the ants were a little much for me. Yah, I was a total wimp.
It’s been HOT here in Southern California, but with all of the cold and snow throughout the country, you may be dreaming of a warm, tropical getaway or just starting to plan your summer vacation. Disney World has just released a new discount for spring and early summer to make a Disney World vacation more affordable than ever.
Now that my kids are a little older, their favorite park? Legoland!!! Any time we go on a mini “staycation” they want to run down to Carlsbad to spend the day amongst the Legos.
Our summer travels usually include destinations not so far from home, a “stay-cation” of sorts. For July, we hit up Big Bear for a few days. A friend of ours has a cabin in Sugarloaf so we stayed there. Of the things we really enjoyed was walking through the Sugarloaf housing track, checking out the …
Rather than do our typical day trip to San Diego for Spring Break, we decided to take a trip to Vegas. Figured the kids would LOVE the lights and sights there. With potty training toddlers, we obviously stopped at our favorite mid-way point from when hubs and I were kids….The Barstow McDonalds. Gave us a …
