    Los Angeles with Kids: Our Recent Adventure

    March 17, 2020 / No Comments

    We returned from our Spring Break trip last Friday, so I wanted to share a little bit about visiting Los Angeles with kids. At the start of the week, it seemed fine to be out and traveling even with coronavirus going on. I was reading information about the relatively low risk to younger, healthier people and about the power of hand washing. By the end of the week, it felt like, “What were we thinking?” By that point, I was seeing more about the need for all of us to practice “social distancing” and the need to “flatten the curve.” It felt downright morally irresponsible.

    must do activities in Los Angeles

    In a couple weeks, we are heading to Los Angeles for Spring Break! What must do activities in Los Angeles come to mind for you?

    We vacationed in Los Angeles 3.5 years ago. It’s surprising how fast the time goes! Henry was 6.5 at the time, and Tate was 4.

    I typed in “free things to do in Los Angeles” and “best hike in Los Angeles,” and here are the ideas I have so far:

    • Griffith Observatory
    • Original Farmers’ Market
    • Monty’s Good Burger
    • LA Central Library
    • Arc Light Cinemas
    • The Huntington Library and Botanical Gardens
    • Malibu Kitchen and Gourmet
    • Apricot Love Farms
    • Hike to Cave of Munits
    • Getty Center
    • California

    Family vacations! I’m a bit behind on our planning. I try to plan both Fall Break and Spring Break as far ahead as possible, so we have more options for AirBnbs.

    During the recent three-day weekend, I got motivated and planned two trips.

    For Fall Break, we’ll be renting an RV and traveling to Big Bend. It will be a quick, four-day trip.

    The first day, we’ll drive 3.5 hours to San Angelo. At first, I only picked San Angelo because it was a good pit-stop on our way to Big Bend. However, the deeper I go into it, the more fun stuff I found to do! Now I’m afraid … Read More
