About Me & My Family

My husband and I have 4 kids... 3 boys and then our girl. We homeschool them all and travel when possible. We just started letterboxing and are finding ourselves a little obsessed with it.
Our Family's Travel Personality

We Just Got Back From
Zion and Bryce National Parks
Our Favorite Vacation Spot
Camping in Kings Canyon or Yosemite
A Place We'd Love To Visit
The Redwoods in Northern California
Favorite Vacation Memory
Walking the meadows of Yosemite with my family. The quiet, the sparkling water, the rustling grasses, and a dip in the river made for an amazing day.
Worst Travel Moment With My Kids:
Anytime throw up is involved. Especially when one kid triggers another. And when we are in the car. And when they choose to use the box that is holding all their library books and toys.

Rustic cabin style lodging Sequoia Kings Canyon NP

There are several options for lodging in the Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks areas.  This list gives details on lodging that is a "rustic cabin style".  These locations may be seasonal, may require guests to bring their own linens, and may have limited resources on restaurants and other amenities.

Despite these limitations, families may fall in love with the beauty of the Giant Sequoia trees located in this beautiful area of the Sierra.
