Ok, so I've been on the road with 3 kids for 18 days now!

It's a bit crazy but we've had two of the best vacations ever. I'm going to plug both destinations and if you ever get the chance...GO!

The first: the dream inn in santa cruz, CA. They remodeled it and it is the bomb!
Everything is streamlined in surfy-retro vibe. The pool overlooks the ocean but the best bonus w/ kids? the boardwalk is right there and they have a blast on the rides and playing the games.

The second?

Kona Village in Kona, Hawaii.
This is like a paradise version of camp. You get a hut in a rugged jungle atmosphere on the ocean-- everything's inlcuded and it's rugged for a resort. This is THE BEST place for families looking to do the hawaii thing without a four seasons/hotel type experience. I'm sure there are others but this one gets my vote! My inlaws have been going for 38 years...that says A LOT.

GUESS WHICH CELEBRITY we spotted THIS TIME! Last trip it was peewee herman...this one? steve jobs! the most powerful man in puppetland...I mean the world, lol.

Just FYI, I have family in CA so I'm not jet-setting for 3 wks straight...you might wonder but it's a strategic family vacation with a couple destinations worked in there, lol...

WHAT HAVE BEEN YOUR SUMMER ADVENTURES?????
