About Me & My Family

We are a family of four: mom, dad, and two daughters age 6 and 10. Dad is a government worker who travels occasionally for work, bringing the rest of us along to make the most of it. Mom stays home with the kids, keeping house and teaching the girls. The girls are homeschooled, first and third grade, respectively, and we make the most of our travel opportunities to enrich their education. We love to see and do new things and have a great time as a family.

For your review of: M5 Industries
I had no idea that Mythbusters is filmed in SF!  I just watched an episode last night.  They are so funny.

Did you know that you already have a list of the places that you've visited in your passport?  When you click on that button "We've Been Here" all over the site, Trekaroo marks it in your Trekaroo passport.  To view all the places you've been to, go to your Trekaroo passport and click on the tab "We've Been There!".  You'll see a list of all the states you've been to with a map.

When you click on a state, it shows you all the destinations you've been to.

When you click on the destinations, you'll see all the activities and hotels that you've been to.

It sorts it so that the activities that haven't been reviewed yet are on top and the ones that you've already reviewed are below. (it's the reverse if you view someone else's passport).

Anyway, I am guessing from the list you created that this wasn't so easy to figure out.  Do you have any suggestions on how we can improve it?  Let us know...we love hearing from you.

Wow, that’s a fabulous photo! It’s not the camera, it’s your mad skills. Love your caption of Cookie Monster and your brother in-law. Thanks for adding it to Trekaroo! I think I have a brother in law who's similar. :)

I’m inspired! I want to sing, dance, and prance amidst the green hills.

Thanks Thank you 09/16/09
For your review of: The South of the Border
Nice review of South of the Border.  I've driven by it maybe fifty times in the past year, and because my kids are grown I haven't had to stop.  It looks pretty rundown from a distance, but I was thinking I might have to check it out one day anyway.

I guess they spend all their money on billboards and not enough on maintenance.  :)
