About Me & My Family
I'm a mother
3 Kids 0-8 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

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 Tidepools on the Big Island, 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.  All the way up around the Big Island of Hawaii there are both accessible and inaccessible tide pools, but these are some of the most accessible or more healthy tide pools you'll find.

Large tide pools that are generally pretty calm. Used primarily for swimming.

Wawaloli Beach
Kailua Kona, Hawaii

Comment:
Located on the westside is a sandy beach that Also has some large tide pools that kids can swim in when the sea is rough. These are more for swimming than for exploring.
