What do you like to do as a family? Be active, get outdoors, relax, eat yummy foods?
Well on a recent weekend we did all of the above starting out with a VERY active morning which can be a good thing. For those folks in the South Bay area, we have some great spots to get out in and enjoy. We began the day with a walk/run at Aviation Track & Field. This is a nice option for folks that want to get out and run, walk, practice soccer or in my sons case do a couple of laps and then run from one side of the field to the other to catch up with Mom or Dad.
Then we wet off to a local hiking trail in Palos Verdes where it was relatively short but what a view. Our son loved seeing all the wild flowers and running ahead to see how far it went.
The last major activity was a beach bike ride. Little did we know it was on the eve of National bike ride week - May 11-15. Our family beach bike rides through Hermosa, Manhattan and sometimes all the way up to Santa Monica Beach are definitely a good time. We tend to do them most often in Spring and Summer, trying to avoid the hottest or windiest days but where we live you really can do them all year round.
We've been known to make picnic time out of it too and stopping along the route to enjoy a lil sustenance. This time we stopped at Gum Tree in Hermosa which has a unique gift shop + restaurant on one side of the street and a kids store on the other. Great place for a yummy salad or sandwich and check out the great kiddo books, toys and clothes across the way.
Get out and discover something new for your family to do together.
