Santa Cruz Island
This post contains affiliate links. We are back from a great long weekend in the Santa Barbara area and our trip to the Channel Island, Santa Cruz Island, was a definite highlight.

Natural Bridges State Beach (Santa Cruz)
Last week we tried to visit this beach but ended up at Wilder Ranch instead, so this week I double checked the GPS and made sure we made it to Natural Bridges State Beach. We arrived mid-afternoon on a Tuesday and there was plenty of street parking, spots in the 20 minute free lot, and…

Disney Wonder Cruise to Alaska
When I was pregnant with my son I was seized with an intense desire to travel, but I had developed very low blood pressure and was passing out on a regular basis. 😦 No traveling for me! Traveling with two kids (under 2) was also a big unknown, so I satisfied my wanderlust by booking…

Wilder Ranch State Park
I was itching for some adventures in nature today, so the kids and I set our GPS to Natural Bridge State Beach (or so we thought) and an hour later found ourselves pulling into the Wilder Ranch State Park parking lot. A beach is a beach right? No problem. We paid the $10 parking and…

Allied Arts Guild (Menlo Park)
This morning I decided to check out the Allied Arts Guild in Menlo Park and I absolutely fell in love! I guess you need to guard your heart when you visit any garden this time of year, but this one really took my breath away. The complex includes a number of artist-in-residence with permanent stalls and…

Visiting Sutro Baths in San Francisco
This weekend we had 2 hours to spend and we were looking to spend them in San Francisco. Sutro Baths turned out to be a great place to kill a couple hours and meet up with a friend from college. Once a gilded age indoor swimming complex, the Sutro Baths are now ruins inviting graffiti, climbing children,…

Fitzgerald Marine Reserve (near Half Moon Bay)
We had plans to visit Pastorino Farms in Half Moon Bay this weekend and I obviously wasn’t going to drive out there without going to the beach! Specifically, I was excited to see the tide pools at Fitzgerald Marine Reserve. Fortunately, my interpretation of the tide chart lined up perfectly with a couple hour visit followed…
