A Winter Weekend in Boston
Some people told us we were crazy for visiting Boston in the Winter since it was so cold but the direct flight ticket prices from SFO to BOS was too good to pass up! There is a 3 hour time difference between the two coasts which affected us more than we thought so be prepared!…

Bowlero at Westfield Valley Fair
Bowlero is now open at Westfield Valley Fair mall in Santa Clara! We had the chance to attend their Grand Opening party and can’t wait to visit again. It’s the perfect place to visit with groups of all ages. We brought our kiddos along, but it would also be fantastic with a group of friends or a date!
Springtime in Vancouver & Victoria
For spring break this year we decided to take a family trip to Canada. We were looking for a destination that would have fair weather and where we could do a mix of outdoor and city activities. The flight from SFO to Vancouver is just under 2.5 hours making it an easy destination to travel to with our kiddos, plus it’s in the same time zone. We began our trip in Vancouver where we stayed for a few nights. After that we made our way to Victoria for 2 nights. Traveling with 2 little ones (3 & 5 years old) we tried to keep the itinerary flexible with plenty of wiggle room for rest and play. Since the weather was a little rainy we found some indoor activities to enjoy that we had not planned for and hope to go back again to enjoy some outdoor things that we missed.

Family Vacation to Hawaii Big Island
