Send a ComplimentAbout Me & My Family
We are a travel obsessed, outdoor loving, family of four living in Orange County, CA. I have five year old twins (a boy and a girl) and I try my best to expose them to as many new experiences as possible. We love hiking, beaches, and National Parks but we also enjoy some time by the pool at big resorts. I serve as editor of The Talking Trekaroo, Trekaroo's blog.
Our Family's Travel Personality
adventurous, curious, independent, energetic, spontaneous, scheduled

The new Disney Aulani Resort in Hawaii! A-mazing.
Our Favorite Vacation Spot
Any National Park
A Place We'd Love To Visit
Any National Park
Favorite Vacation Memory
Climbing up the side of a mountain to Inspiration Point at Grand Teton National Park with my then two year old twins. It was something nobody thought our children could do and the view fro the top was incredible.
Worst Travel Moment With My Kids:
Forgetting the portable dvd player on the way home from Yosemite National Park after exploring the park all day. Tired and cranky children with no source of entertainment make for a very loud car.

Choose and Cut Christmas Tree Farms in Southern California
Yes, our climate warmer and there aren't as many Christmas tree farms down south as there are up north but if you know where to look, you can still cut down a great tree.

This is where my family went when I was growing up. I have vivid memories of finding a good tree and then walking through acres and acres of trees before returning to the exact tree we first eyed.

Who says you can't cut down your own trees in LA County? Leland Cypress and Monterey Pine are available for your cutting and choosing.

Santa Clarita, California
Comment:
North of Los Angeles in the Santa Clarita Valley, just east of Magic Mountain, is Nancy's Ranch. In the fall she has pumpkins but come Christmastime, her ranch is full of u-cut and precut Christmas trees.

Irvine, California
Comment:
This is where Orange County goes to cut down their Christmas trees. There are three locations but I prefer the remote and rustic atmosphere of the farm in Silverado Canyon.

San Juan Capistrano, California
Comment:
A popular spot for South Orange County residents. Visit the mission and then cut down your Christmas tree and start a wonderful holiday tradition.

This u-pick farm is special because its a spot in Southern California where you can actually cut down a farm grown sequoia redwood for a Christmas tree!
