Laguna Coast Wilderness Park









This week the kids and I had a chance to spend the afternoon hiking and exploring one of Southern California's last remaining coastal canyons. We followed one of the canyon trails up to the bluffs, with the scent of sage filling the air the entire time. It's one of the things I absolutely love about this area of California! The park also has a small nature centre where you can learn all about the area and how the land was carved. There's lots to touch... this is always a good thing with the kids! Katie really loved the telescope, Ali loved climbing the rocks and looking for lizards, and Maddy was the master of the scat on this outing...we saw lots of evidence of mule deer and bobcat! The day was filled with sunshine and laughter...and it can't get any better than that!

I read about you at Families on the Road and wonder...are you still traveling with animals? I'd love anything you could share about cats, motorhomes, and leaving them when you're off for a day of activities. Considering roadschooling after a decade+ of homeschooling. Thanks for the blog.

Hi Nancy! We definitely have the animals still! It's been really easy having them along. I'll send you an email and let you know some of the pros and cons we've discovered since being on the road and roadschooling too. Thanks for checking out my blog!
