So, this year I'm considering keeping the summer camps to the minimum and just planning day trips. Considering I already have plans for a couple vacations and one week-long overnight camp, I must remember that there are only so many weeks in the summer!
I'm fortunate to live in the Bay Area - and there are so many interesting and exciting places to take my kids, places we have been but also places we have not. Here's a short list of some of the places I'd like to take the kids this summer:
1. Dennis the Menace Park - Monterey
I took my son to this park years ago and he had a BLAST - an absolute blast. The rolling slide is hilarious, good shaky fun.
There are bridges and tons of other slides, lots of space to roam....
2. Santa Cruz Beach
It's a beach. It's beautiful. What's not to love?
3. Amusement Parks like Six Flags and Great America
We are again season pass holders for both amusement parks, so I plan to get our money's worth! That's right. A new dolphin show? Gotta see that. An easy, fun day for the kids? Oh, ya. I'm there. Great America - rides and a waterpark? Sign me up for that. Yes. Yes. Yes.
4. San Francisco
Specifically, I'd like to take back to Land's End Trail. I'd also like to spend another day riding a cable car, walking around Fisherman's Wharf, and going back to the California Academy of Sciences. I'd also like to check out the Cable Car Museum. I haven't been there since I was in elementary school!
5. Chabot Space and Science Museum
I've never been here and I've always wanted to check it out - just to see what's there and what it has to offer.
6. Coyote Point Park -
My son loves parks - and what kid doesn't want to play in a castle with a dragon? How cool is that? I've known about this park for years, but I haven't ever been there. I better hurry up before he gets "too old" for playing in parks. HAHA.
So, here are the six off the top of my head. Obviously, I'm open to suggestions, so let me know if you have any places I should add to my list!
Considering this is my first try making a list and I already have six, I'm guessing I should probably NOT sign up the kids for camp.
