The Ultimate Sun River/Bend Guide For Families

Posted by | May 16, 2018 | , , ,

One of my family’s FAVORITE places to travel is the Bend/Sun River area. We tend to find a reason to head that way every year, and always love our time there.

This is certainly not a comprehensive list of activities in the area. My hope is that you’ll find a suggestion or two that your family will enjoy. Happy traveling!   As a large family,...

With warmer temps popping up now and again in the forecast, many parents find themselves looking for ways to get their kids outdoors. Last week, my kids and I had about an hour to kill in Troutdale. The thought of dragging four kids to the outlet mall didn’t appeal to me, so I went looking for a playground – and found an INCREDIBLE one. The kids could have stayed and played...

Clark County Area Spring Break Staycation Ideas

Posted by | Mar 30, 2018 | , , ,

Spring break is here for Clark County schools! While some families are blessed to enjoy a get-away or road trip, most of us aren’t always able to make a spring break vacation work. A week at home doesn’t have to be boring. I wanted to compile a list of some fun “staycation” ideas. Understanding that it’s often hard to afford some of the local attractions, I’ve also included a list of some FREE  and low-cost activities. (Some of my favorite things to do in the area are free!) Have a wonderful spring break everyone!   Free Staycation Ideas:  Multnomah...
