Romantic Wine, Art, and Hiking Getaway Ideas
A room becomes more romantic when paired with wine, art, or a coastal hike. The Carmel Highlands & Point Lobos. The storms of one year ago destroyed a large swath of the iconic Big Sur Highway, making Carmel inaccessible from the south (reopening is slated for summer of 2018). But if you come to the Coast Highway from the north, from Monterey, you will reach the northern edge of Big Sur, the setting of our first Valentine getaway recommendation. Perched like an osprey’s nest on the hillside above the rugged Big Sur coast, Hyatt Carmel Highlands, which celebrated its 100th...
Escape to Cambria
Where Moonstones, kayak paddles, otters and elephant seals compete with Hearst Castle for attention. The time was when families traveled to the San Simeon area solely to tour Hearst Castle and take in views of the dramatic Central Coast shoreline. Don’t get me wrong, those are still around and as eye-popping as ever — and the prices at the castle have been kept at a surprisingly reasonable $25 for adults and $12 for children. These days, though, there’s so much more to do and see in the area. Elephant seals, sea otters, whales, monarch butterflies, hikes in the woods, waterfalls...
Salt Therapy Caves
The growing popularity of salt therapy caves has more and more families experiencing — and enjoying — a fun form of holistic treatment. “Salty Hair, We Don’t Care!” That’s what a mom posted on Instagram after leaving a recent salt therapy session in Orange County, along with a picture of her young son looking like he had greyed way too young. Her son is prone to respiratory issues that become aggravated by colds, weather changes, swimming pools, and so on. She found out about salt therapy through a holistic families’ Facebook group; she tried it and noticed that the 45-minute...
Anaheim White House Restaurant
The Anaheim White House Restaurant, run by renowned philanthropist Sir Bruno Serato, received a multimillion-dollar makeover after an electrical fire in February 2017. Serato is well known for feeding local children in need. While the restaurant was being rebuilt, Serato volunteered to cook for the children at the Diocese of Orange’s Christ Cathedral kitchen in Garden Grove. The steakhouse restaurant is now open to the public, resembling the original 1909 Colonial-Style mansion. The main dining area has 11 rooms; eight of which are available for private gatherings. 887 S Anaheim Blvd, Anaheim | 714-772-1381 or anaheimwhitehouse.com Joon Shabu Shabu The...
Family-Friendly Hikes in Orange County
Check out some of these family-friendly docent-led hikes in time for the Orange County hiking season. In most areas of the country, this is the dead of winter. In Orange County, it’s prime hiking season. Depending on when and how much rain arrives, this is often the time when the first wildflowers show up, water flows in previously dry creek beds and the weather is cool enough for everyone to be comfortable building up a little body heat on an uphill climb. If you know the signs along the trail, there are all kinds of extraordinary sights and stories. Fossils...

Family Volunteer Vacations
Family volunteer vacations balance doing good with having fun. For your next family trip, how about doing some good while also having fun. Sound intriguing? It’s called a “family volunteer vacation,” and thousands of people across the country are doing it every year. The trips can last for a few days or several weeks, but they all have one thing in common: Your family will spend some time helping out people or animals in need. Why do so many families choose to go on such vacations? According to Nancy Schretter, the founder of Together For Good, a non-profit organization that...
Los Olivos Community Park
Taking place on March 2, the grand opening of the Los Olivos Community Park will let the public come and see the sprawling 12.5 acre location, which has fields for multiple kinds of sports and activities. These areas even include lighted baseball fields and basketball courts, a soccer field and four tennis courts for community use. The fun doesn’t have to be strictly outdoors either, as the park now comes with a sizable and modern community center. The 6,700-square-foot facility is equipped with a large multipurpose room, a patio area for those perfect summer days and even a warming kitchen....
Santa Rosa Plateau Ecological Reserve
A trail on the Santa Rosa Plateau Ecological Reserve near Murrieta offers families a nearby hike full of natural wonders. People often ask me what my favorite local hike is. That’s a tough question. How can I compare a wildflower hike with a walk in the woods or a scramble to a waterfall? Each hike tends to be its own experience. It’s an especially fraught question this year, when the rains have led to spectacular superblooms. The creeks are flowing and the local waterfalls, which often lead ephemeral lives in our dry climate, are gushing. Yet I do have a...

Off-season (summer) lodging at the Four Seasons in the Sonoran desert of Scottsdale allows for world-class luxury at a reduced rate. A stay at the Dream Inn in Santa Cruz offers the classic and casual Cali beach vacation, along with old fashioned amusement on the historic Boardwalk.

Planning for school is always nerve-wracking, for sure. And by now, many parents feel as though they have pulled out all the stops on finding creative activities in the home and backyard.

Small Zoo, Big Cats
https://youtu.be/kDPMq3XzFc8 The OC Zoo in Orange has expanded its ‘pawprint’ to house a new Large Mammal Exhibit and five large felines for families to enjoy year round. A waterfall flows through the rocky scenery of Santiago’s new digs. He’s still exploring the space, but the sound seems soothing. That, and the meaty treat he gets from a zookeeper who has stopped by to give him a quick health check. It’s barely been 48 hours, but the OC Zoo’s new big cat exhibit appears to be a hit. Especially with its oldest cat. Santiago, an 11-year-old mountain lion found orphaned in...

Grace Bay Club, Turks & Caicos
Best Inclusive for Little Ones Heading out to a beach vacation with little ones isn’t exactly a stress-free option for travel when the surf rises. However the natural geography of Provodenciales and its shallow shelf makes it an ideal spot to splash and have fun with the kids, without concern about them wandering into deeper water. The white sand in front of the gorgeous Grace Bay Club is soft for baby’s sensitive feet and if your crew gets too salty, ten waterslides, a lazy river and endless pool options await. When kids get a little older (5-12), they will be...
Oak Canyon, Anaheim
Oak Canyon offers an easy trail along a year-round stream, a cactus-covered ridge and a wide variety of flowers. It seemed as though the rains were never going to come this past winter, didn’t it? The hills remained brown and wildflowers that usually show up in early January still hadn’t made an appearance two months later. But even though Orange County never got the real dousing it needed to cause the spectacular blooms we saw last year, there are still a few wildflowers to be found through the end of May, and the vibrant blossoms of the prickly pear cactus...

Maximizing the Annual School Physical
How can I get the most out of my child’s school physical? The school physical is more than just a routine doctor’s appointment. It’s a great way to get your child’s school year off to a healthy start. School physicals, or well-child exams, offer a golden opportunity to share information and listen to your child. They also allow your physician to evaluate your child’s growth and development, screen for common childhood conditions and make sure their immunizations are up to date. Annual or school physicals should be more than checking off a form. You can get a form checked off,...
Chocolate Chip Cookies
(Photo & Recipe by Madison Amirehteshami) There’s something magical about the way chocolate chip cookies can turn a regular day into a sweet memory. For me, it's time spent with my mom, measuring flour, sneaking a taste of dough and watching the cookies bake in the oven. These cookies have always been a family favorite — golden brown edges, a chewy center, and of course, a few extra chocolate chips for good measure. Whether you’re baking alongside loved ones or just indulging in a quiet moment, these cookies never fail to deliver that warm, comforting feeling. Ready to share a...
