About Me & My Family
I'm a mother
3 Kids 1-9 years old boys and girls

When we travel, good food and adventure always abound. Our family loves to push the limit of what we can do with children. Our mantra has always been - have kids, will travel. However, this doesn't mean I'm unlike most frantic moms before a trip. Wanting adventure and being a control freak can sometimes be a lethal combination.
Our Family's Travel Personality
adventurous, independent, spontaneous
We Just Got Back From
Northern California and Oregon
Our Favorite Vacation Spot
Hawaii
A Place We'd Love To Visit
New Zealand, Argetina, Brazil, Eastern Europe, Cambodia
Favorite Vacation Memory
Climbing Machu Picchu with a 4 month old infant in a slight and having all the locals stop us to ask what happened to his feet which were all bundled up. They just couldn't believe it wouldn't be bow legged.
Worst Travel Moment With My Kids:
Getting to the airport on our way to Scotland with my 15 month old and discovering that my husband's passport had expired. Instead of rebooking all of our flights, we decided that I would do the first leg of our journey on my own with baby. Unfortunately, we had not packed for me to be flying by myself. I could bearly walk to the runway with all my bags and a 15 month old who would get distracted by everything along the way. He then proceeded to sleep only 1 hour of the entire 11 hour journey (red-eye). It was pretty miserable.

Kid-friendly Tide Pools on Oahu, Hawaii

Kids of all ages and adults alive find great fascination in discovering ocean critters in tide pools.  It's a fun and free activity that can easily fill a couple of hours.  Although you might expect Oahu to have many tide pools, this isn't the case.  Here are some of the tide pools on Oahu.

Pupukea Beach Park is part of the Pupukea Marine Life Conservation District. A sheltered cove offers some of the some wonderful tide pools that are easily accessible even for little ones

Besides the tide pools, you can also see a blow hole. Located just north of Hanauma Bay. Instead of taking the trail up to the lighthouse, head down to the large tide pools some of which you can actually swim in. Watch out for rough seas especially at high tide.

At low tide you'll have access to 5 protected off shore islands with tide pools and hidden beaches and even sea turtle feeding grounds. You can get to these tide pools by renting a Kayak at Kailua Sailboards and Kayaks
