This weekend's summer weather in January made ever This weekend's summer weather in January made everyone in California get outside. But, in the middle of a pandemic, finding a quiet, uncrowded spot was a definite challenge! After my first idea was foiled (lot full plus 100+ cars parked alongside the road), we drove about 25 miles south of Monterey, California to discover Andrew Molera State Park. What to know: ☑ There is a small parking lot ($10 per vehicle) but you also have the option to park along Highway 1 and walk in for no fee. ☑ The big draw here is the beach but, be forewarned, that you need to wade across a shallow river and walk a bit to access it. Definitely pack light, avoid wagons/strollers and bring appropriate footwear. Be mindful that if there has been recent rain, the water levels may be knee high. ☑ We opted to stay dry and explore the quiet Bobcat Trail loop (2.6 miles). With beautiful, towering redwood trees and the Big Sur River running alongside, we had plenty to keep the kids busy. BOOKMARK THIS POST FOR FUTURE REFERENCE!

Last post on Palm Springs before I create a new IG Last post on Palm Springs before I create a new IG guide... Moorten Botanical Garden is located near Downtown Palm Springs and a great place for all ages. My kids loved exploring the different plant life of the desert and also visited a few resident tortoises. Admission is $5/adult, $2/child (ages 15 and under) and free for children under 5. With the current stay at home order in California, the garden is currently closed but save this post for a future trip.

Winter in Palm Springs, California is dreamy with Winter in Palm Springs, California is dreamy with weather at the exact perfect temperature for outdoor activities. One of our stops was to Indian Canyons and it did not disappoint. Where: ☑ only about 10 minutes from Downtown Palm Springs inside the land belonging to the Agua Caliente Band of the Cahuilla Indians. What to do with kids: ☑ The Andreas Canyon hike is an easy 1.2 miles. My older kids did great and our toddler was in a hiking backpack. Start on the more hilly side of the loop (left side if you're looking at a map) to end up walking along the river towards the end. ☑ Feeling more ambitious? Murray Canyon (4.7 miles), Victor (2.7 miles) and Dry Wash (6.6 miles) are all rated moderate. ☑ There are picnic tables near the river so consider packing a lunch or snack to enjoy. ☑ We brought water shoes for the kids. HOURS: 8am - 5pm daily (last car entry at 4pm) FEES: $9/adult, $5/child (ages 5-12). Discounted rates for seniors, students and military. No animals allowed so 🐕 will need to stay at home. #indiancanyons #indiancanyonspalmsprings #tahquitzcanyon #aguacalientepalmsprings #palmspringswithkids #palmsprings #beautifulscenery #beautifulhikes #oasis #desertoasis #instagood #instatravel #vacationideas #southerncalifornia #palmdesert #andreascanyon #easyhikes #hikeswithkids #getsomefreshair #1000hoursoutside #optoutside #familyvacationplanning #familytime #vacation #getaway #gorgeous #kidsofinstagram #riverphotography #palmtrees #nature
Have you been to Joshua Tree National Park? If not Have you been to Joshua Tree National Park? If not, it's definitely one to add to your list. While better known for camping and rock climbing, there is still lots of fun to had with kids in tow. What to do with kids in Joshua Tree National Park: ☑ Grab a picnic lunch and enjoy it alongside the amazing landscape. ☑ Lots of kid-friendly rocks to climb on. Hidden Valley and Barker Dam had some great options. ☑ So many hiking options. A few of the easier ones: Barker Dam, Cottonwood Spring, Hidden Valley and Skull Rock. Even more ideas on the @joshuatreenps website. ☑ Cholla Cactus Garden. Look from afar as these ones are prickly! ☑ Traveling with a baby or toddler? Definitely invest in a hiking backpack like ours from @deuter_usa What is your favorite spot at Joshua Tree National Park? #joshuatreenps #joshuatrees #nationalparkpass #nationalparkswithkids #optoutside #joshuatreewithkids #bouldering #kidsbouldering #hikingbackpack #hiking #hikingwithkids #outdooractivities #getoutside #freshairtherapy #beautifuldestinations #beautifulscenery #travelinspiration #armchairtraveling #travelwithkids #takeyourkidseverywhere #havekidswilltravel #bluesky #desert #desertlandscape #desertvacation #millionmilermom #instagood #familyvacationplanning #familytravel #bayareablogger
