Our young family craves adventure. It began when my husband and I fell in love backpacking through Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Australia and Fiji. We got bit by the travel bug bad. When our son was born, we knew we wanted to make travel and adventure part of our family life. We now spend our weekends looking for exciting local excursions, and save our pennies for larger national and international trips. Each time we grab our belongings and head for the car, we announce to our son “Adventure is out there,” a phrase lovingly stolen from the movie “UP”. Our son is presently 1 years old and may not be completely aware of what is going on, but we hope that by spending our family time seeking out new places to see, that our love for adventure will be passed onto him. This is a story of our trips and the family travel lessons learned along the way.

Coronado Island

Last weekend ‘the Adventurers’ headed to Coronado Island via the humungous scary Coronado bay bridge.
We ate lunch at the Ferry Landing and then set out to explore. The exploration was done mostly by car due to a teething 8 month old and some stormy weather, but that didn’t stop us from enjoying the beautiful old neighborhoods and beaches.
On our way off the island we discovered a white sand beach near the famously haunted Hotel Del Coronado.
We had a great time playing in the sand and enjoying having almost the whole beach to ourselves. It was short trip but we will definitely be going back when Wade turns one and we can rent one of those ridiculous tourist bikes!
We have a really big trip coming up so stay tuned for next blog post!
