Recently, our blogger extraordinaire Stephenie wrote an entry about interesting historical sites in San Diego. I realized after reading it my kids might actually get a kick out of seeing them (and learn something too!) I decided our first stop would be the Sunny Jim Cave, located in La Jolla. If you haven’t been or […]
S’mores and More in San Diego
S ‘mores and summer go hand in hand, especially in San Diego where you can enjoy this delicious desert right on the beach. It’s a campfire classic that is so simple to make yet full of such gooey goodness. The more the marshmallow is burnt – the better! Want to make your own s ‘mores […]

Flying High at SeaWorld’s New Dolphin Show
Recently we had the treat of visiting SeaWorld San Diego and seeing the new Dolphin Show “Blue Horizons.” We love visiting SeaWorld and often take our friends and family when they visit.

A Ranch Retreat Worth Every Penny
This past weekend my husband, 9 year old son and I headed out to Warner Spring Ranch in San Diego’s east county for a little R&R. The ranch, which was originally established in 1844 as a stagecoach stop, is a funky and rustic oasis of the best kind. Just an hour and a half out […]
Kicking it in Coronado
One of our favorite things to do is spend time on Coronado Island. With each visit there are some must do’s as well as taking time to discover something new. It never disappoints us! You don’t have to stay on the island to enjoy it (although that is fun too!) Here are some of our […]
It’s A Boy!
This little guy, born about 8:30 pm on Monday, April 12th, is the newest member of the San Diego Zoo’s Wild Animal Park family. He’s the second elephant born at the Park this year and they are expecting one more later this spring. They are having a mini elephant baby boom! This newborn is the first for his mom, Swazi, […]
Fly High With the Butterflies
Yesterday I took my two kids ages 7 and 9 to the Wild Animal Park’s Butterfly Jungle. It’s the Wild Animal Park’s big exhibit running through April 18th. As you walk toward the exhibit located in the Hidden Jungle, there were people dressed with butterfly wings giving out information and entertaining visitors. When we arrived […]
The Aliens Have Landed!
I had the pleasure of attending a sneak preview of the San Diego Air & Space Museum’s new exhibit, The Science of…Aliens, last week. Now being a self-proclaimed sci-fi lover, I was all over this invitation as soon as I got it. What would the Air & Space Museum’s take on this hotly contested topic be? […]
Baseball season is here
Though we San Diegans are still licking the wounds from the Chargers disappointing playoff loss, there is hope. While the east coast digs out from under a mountain of snow, we turn our attention to baseball season, sunny skies and our youthful Padres team. Pitchers and catchers report to Spring Training next week, but baseball […]
