Visiting Pinnacles National Park with kids

July 5, 2025May 20, 2023 by

For families visiting Pinnacles National Park with kids, this lesser-known California park offers stunning rock formations, mysterious caves, and peaceful wilderness to explore. Pinnacles is California’s newest national park, established in 2013 after being a National Monument. Interestingly, it is one of the state’s least visited parks, along with Lassen Volcanic National Park, which we explored last year.

The unique pinnacles that define the park were formed 23 million years ago through volcanic activity and tectonic plate shifts. Today, Pinnacles National Park spans 26,000 acres of mostly untouched wilderness.

Undoubtedly, Pinnacles is the perfect place to unwind and connect with nature. Families can enjoy hiking scenic trails, exploring fascinating caves, or even trying out rock climbing in a quiet, beautiful setting.

July 1, 2025January 3, 2023 by

This December, we spent a few days in New Orleans, Louisiana. When planning our trip back in July, we pictured ourselves having café au lait in a historic courtyard of the French Quarter, the girls enjoying sunny southern days, and checking off a list of fun things to do in New Orleans with kids, from steamboat rides to beignets in Jackson Square.

Can you imagine December of 2022 being one of the coldest winters in New Orleans’ history? On some days, the temperature dropped to 20°F (-4°C), and it got quite chilly with wind gusts. That said, we layered up and did what we could to explore this beautiful, resilient city.

Although the weather forced us to skip a few outdoor activities, the girls (and we!) still managed to pack in plenty of adventures, and we can’t wait to share some of the best family-friendly experiences with you.
