Travel + 5 Kids + Real Life
Reading Time: 3 minutes We took a venture down to the Zoo (all by public transportation- so easy and cool) on a perfect Saturday evening. It was beautiful and classic Portland as I came to see it. The Zoo has an amazing forest all around, so it feels semi-secluded in parts. I loved this. […]
Reading Time: 4 minutes Who else loves Halloween? Anyone else look forward to Halloween as much as Christmas (ok, maybe even a bit more)? Probably just me. Don’t get me wrong, I love Christmas. I try to soak it up as much as I can. I have a zillion little traditions I’m trying to […]
Reading Time: 3 minutes One of our Kauai favorites by far: Queen’s Bath! This was a primary reason we stayed on the North Shore of Kauai. We didn’t realize that we actually booked about a mile away. This little gem is tucked neatly into a neighborhood and you’d never find it without looking it […]
Reading Time: 5 minutes It’s day one in Kauai and it also happens to be our anniversary. Hooray! Honestly, we are tired from traveling, but we made a great effort to celebrate. Chris and I are purists when it comes to celebrating special days and we like to go ALL OUT on the day. […]
Reading Time: 4 minutes We attended our second Halloween party at Disneyland and loved it both times with all our Halloween-loving selves! I’m a HUGE Halloween fan- in fact, it is a very close tie with Christmas as being my favorite holiday. Some years, I enjoy Halloween more. I think I feel less pressure […]
Reading Time: 3 minutes When Chris and I first did this tourist must-do in 2012 or so, we checked it off our list and didn’t really plan to go back. It was really interesting, but crowded and not our favorite thing. I knew I wanted to take the kids back and see it with […]
Reading Time: 2 minutes We didn’t have any spectacular date nights in this month. I dreamed of a helicopter ride or plane ride and those are available. However, in the end, I just didn’t want to spend the money. We did some local malls- True Food for dinner was yummy. We went to some […]
Reading Time: 3 minutes Muir Woods is right outside of San Fran and is a great place to see the Redwoods. This was another experience we wanted to share with our kids. Chris and I visited on one of our “post-baby moons” to San Fran. We ended up taking our third and fourth babies […]
Reading Time: 4 minutes I think our time in Pacifica can be summed up in two words: cold and damp. That’s how we feel about it when we talk about our time there. That’s a little harsh, but I think it was so much different than we expected it to be. We apparently picked […]
Reading Time: 2 minutes This was, sadly, the only children’s museum we made it to. I love children’s museums and I would have loved to explore more. However, we ended up spending a lot of time at the skate park. Lucy got a new scooter at the beginning of the month and wanted to […]
