Road Trip Games for Kids

I was shopping at Cost Plus World Market yesterday when I came across these fabulous travel bingo boards.

Road Trip Games for Kids

We love going on road trips, and like to do things that are educational along the way so I absolutely love these.  And there's the added bonus of how flat they are and that they stack so neatly.  I have since tracked down the Auto Bingo on Amazon, just be sure that you are buying different cards.  Each topic - Auto Bingo, Traffic Safety Bingo and Interstate Highway Bingo come with different images (so each player isn't working with identical cards) and I found some in different colors too - for example, I found different Auto Bingo cards in green and pink.  They also have a few sets available on Kids Love Travel.

Hiking: Batiquitos Lagoon

Since moving back to San Diego we have gotten out of our groove.  There have been no more weekly family hikes, which I have been missing, I think the kids have been missing them too.  My husband has still been hiking with his friends, but for one reason or another, the family hikes had been forgotten about.  We need these though.  They get us out in the fresh air, give us much needed exercise and we get to spend time as a family doing something that we love and exploring a new area.

Last weekend we decided to have a picnic and then hike around Batiquitos Lagoon area in Carlsbad.   The weather was perfect for it.  Although it was hot, there was a cool breeze blowing.
