I love to just hang out with my family.  We don't just like sitting around.  As some of my friends have told me when we had kids that our kids better get use to the car, being on the road, and traveling because we are always on the go.  My husband and I of course we like to sit and relax but we also don't like to let life pass us by.  We like to see things, taste things and explore things.  So this means that we at times become a tourist in our own city.  We totally love it.  We love doing what some of our friends haven't done in years or say "oh yeah that would be fun to do when someone comes to visit".  Why wait do it now we say. 

So we have taken our kids on boat rides, taxi's, underground tours, the bus, and more.  They have flown all sorts of places too.  Our son had more frequent flier miles by the time he was 2 than most adults.  We just love to explore and take our kids on our journey of life with us.  This last summer we decided to take a family vacation to So. California.  We knew there was so much to see, eat, and do.  And one thing we just wanted to add as a new and different element to the trip was to follow food truck and try them out.  So we did.  It was fun.  We got to see all sorts of places and tried all sorts of food. 

I just love doing some of these fun things because we just never know where we are going to go and what life is going to take us but we know it will be fun and that we will get to try new things and meet new people.  It has helped our kids understand that there is a world outside of the walls of their home.   The hard thing about it sometimes is you have favorite places, food or something that is far away.  That isn't always a bad thing because when you do get a chance to taste it again or go back you have amazing memories.
