About Me & My Family

My husband and I and our three little loves live in the South Bay area of LA. We enjoy all family adventures, big or small. We have family in San Diego and are periodically travelling back and forth, making fun stops along the way.

Favorite Vacation Memory
Taking our son when he was four months old to the spot where my dear hubby and I got engaged in New York's Central Park. Then, less than three years later, taking both our son and daughter to the same spot. It's fun to look back at pictures of us at the same "special" bench pre-kids and with the addition of each child.
Worst Travel Moment With My Kids:
Nothing stands out so far, but getting through airport security with the kids and all the extra STUFF is always a nerve-racking experience! =)

Guru You're the Guroo! 03/08/11
Thanks for your reviews in the San Pedro area.  They are fun to read and are helpful!  My kids and I had a good time down there today... just exploring and visiting the aquarium.  If you have any pictures to add of the Fanfare Fountain or the Fire Museum... I'd love to see them.  That always inspires me to visit!

Thanks Thank you 11/21/10

Hi bit_by_travelbug,

I just saw your review on Wrightwood and Mountain Hardware. Do you think that you could share a review of the snowplay area in Angeles National Forest at http://www.trekaroo.com/activities/snowplay-in-angeles-national-forest-wrightwood-wrightwood-california? Your review of the Mountain Hardware is awesome, so I figured you'd probably have something to add for the snowplay area.

Thanks, Esther

Thanks for the info.  That is a lot of help for picking our apple picking destination!

Thanks Thank you 09/01/10

For your comment regarding:

Where is your favorite place to pick apples?

You said:

"Last year we went to Raven Hill Orchard in Julian, CA (about an hour from San Diego). I liked the dwarf trees which made it easier for the younger kids in our group to pick apples without having to climb a ladder or use an apple picker stick. This year we may try Apples and Art Orchard, also in Julian. "

Thanks for the info about Raven Hill Orchard!  We have little kids so thinking about dwarf trees is a great idea.  
I'm curious if you have been to Riley Farms out near the high desert?  We are in Orange County and so we could either go north or south and we are still deciding.
Thanks!

I never have luck calling in.  I always log on 5 minutes before 9am and sit there until they go on sale.  Pick the time 10 am is the best.  Then Refresh Refresh Refresh.

I have my tickets for August already.  Do you need one?

For your review of: Mustard Seed Restaurant
I agree with disappointed...  I did enjoy the food however it was overly priced and the room was not only decorated warmly it was hot just like the food.   I was also wondering why the place was almost empty, since it was so close to the park.   If they added a tip to my bill they are gonna hear from me, cause I did add a small tip against my satisfaction.    Mom with 3 kids visiting town.
