S’mores and Snores
This Rancho Bernardo Inn family review is for anyone looking for a fun and easy So Cal destination to take your family. Or, your husband. Or, your girlfriends. Or anyone, really.
The property is only a little over an hour drive from our neck of the woods in Orange County, but when we arrived at this charming San Diego resort, we felt as if we were in a different world.
Rancho Bernardo Inn
My girls are off school this week and I have been wanting to take them to the San Diego Zoo Safari Park so we thought, why not make it into a little SoCalCation and enjoy a few days away from the same ‘ole same ‘ole?

Are We There Yet?
With the holiday season approaching, travel is routine for many families. We happen to have extended family within reasonable driving distance, so we are used to packing up our kiddos and hitting the road. This post is dedicated to my top 10 must haves for road trips with kids.
Family-Friendly Travel: Bacara Resort & Spa
Last week my family was invited to visit the Bacara Resort & Spa just north of beautiful Santa Barbara to share a firsthand Bacara review on its family-friendly offerings.
It’s a tough job. [Please don’t hate me.]
Santa Barbara is one of my favorite places on Earth, and I had always wanted to stay at this luxury resort in Santa Barbara, but to be honest, I would have never thought of taking my kids there.
To me, it seemed like a high-end property geared more towards adults and couples. Which it is, don’t get me wrong, but what I learned from our stay is that Bacara is also a fabulous family resort in Southern California!
Situated on 78 acres on the beautiful Pacific coast, it is an easy drive for a getaway, but far enough away to make you feel like you are in a different world.
After a busy summer running around like crazy, we valeted the car upon arrival and didn’t leave. We didn’t have to, or want to. To spend two days relaxing was a much-needed family retreat.
Here is a view of the property from a nature walk we took. From where I am standing to take this photo, I am still on Bacara property.
