Traveling to China with Kids   My kids are travelers. I’m lucky and I appreciate it. But it didn’t just happen that way.

My husband and I never really let our kids have a chance to not like traveling. From the time our youngest daughter was 2, we’ve “dragged” them onto planes around the world. We started with Japan, then Switzerland, England, France, and Spain.  Click on the link to read more...

Day Trip: the Kid-Friendly Wildside of Pescadero  Some days you just want to pack up the kids and get out of the city. No planning, no organizing, just get up and go. Do it right and sneaking away for a day doesn’t have to mean getting stuck in the car for hours. You can leave the hustle and bustle behind, take a step back in time and a walk on a beach with a wild side in Pescadero.

It’s an easy drive. Less than an hour south of San Francisco, and just half an hour south of its better known neighbor Half Moon Bay. If the kids start to get grumpy on the drive, turn into the first beach you see. Prime sandcastle real estate starts in Pacifica and keeps going for the next 40 miles or so to Pescadero.
