Summer 2012: Fun Ways to Explore the Bay w/Kids for under $20 or Less...If Not for *F*R*E*E*
This summer is bitter sweet for me...it is the last care-free summer for my 5-year old before she heads off to kindergarten in the fall. With a 12-year old and a 3-year old also in tow, I want to make it a very memorable summer. In these trying economic times, it's hard to imagine that even taking them to a simple movie could set us back $50 in one fell swoop. So, I've gotten creative and have started to compile a list of places the four of us can check out for $20 or less--tons of these places are even free. I can only imagine that there are many other moms and dads looking to do the same over the summer. I decided to start a blog about our weekly adventures with details, pics, reviews and such. For sanity's sake (mine) I know that if I don't set out to keep the kids on-the-go, active & entertained, "Camp Run Amok" might quickly turn into "Camp Run Away"!
Weekly Adventures will be on Thursdays...first planned stop next week:
Strawberry Hill located in the center of Stow Lake in Golden Gate Park
Streams and waterfalls can be found along the short, but moderately steep hike around the naturally formed island. About 20 minutes at a leisure pace (a little longer with smaller children).
Next week I will post actual details: parking, summer crowds, reviews, actual cost etc...stay tuned!
