This weekend, my son heard (from a mystery source he will not divulge) that the San Diego Model Railroad Museum had installed the Lego train display. The San Diego Model Railroad Museum is a great little museum in Balboa Park. Admission is free for children under 15 and only $7 for adults. We usually make […]
Hiking with the Kids
Recently our friends from St. Louis came for a visit. One of our favorite stops when we have guests in town is Torrey Pines State Reserve. The views are amazing and the trails are easy enough to navigate for a six year old. We drove to the top and chose one of the trails that […]
Go Tide Pooling With Experts From the Birch Aquarium
The San Diego coastline is dotted with incredible tide pools from Point Loma to Ocean Beach, La Jolla and beyond.

All “trapeze artists” will get a run through […]

Lights, Camera, Action – in Coronado!
I love the movies! From indie flicks to blockbusters (sci-fi!), there’s magic in motion pictures and it’s one of my favorite weekend escapes. Coronado is no stranger to the silver screen. When folks think of movies in the “crown city,” glitzy Hollywood images of Marilyn Monroe basking on the beach by the Hotel del Coronado […]
