Family Fun America!
A mind that is stretched by a new experience can never go back to its old dimensions.
- Oliver Wendell Holmes
Family fun can occur anytime a family is doing something new together – whether the newness comes from a new place or situation, or simply a new day. Although we spend most of our family outdoor recreation time in Colorado, we’ve also traveled to a few other states and enjoyed new family bonding activities there.
Someday we'd love to travel as a family overseas, especially to Europe. If your family is interested in foreign travels, check out Simonseeks.com. This is a website where a community of travellers, journalists and celebrities can upload travel guides and share their tips on the best places to stay, eat and visit. Right now, they're focusing on France, ranging from the best hotels in Nice to cheap hotels in Marseille.
And no matter where your family travels, don't forget that journaling your adventures creates lasting memories.
One of our favorite jaunts for family outdoor recreation is a trip to Moab, Utah. We’ve hiked, mountain biked, and camped there – both in the La Sal Mountains and along the Sand Flats. Utah (

) has so many activities to offer!
Many of our family fun America destinations are based on mountain biking trails – and Arizona is no exception. We’ve spent time in Phoenix with family (and hiking along desert trails, as well as in a cacti park) and in Sedona, both hiking and mountain biking. We love showing our kiddos the great variety of flora and fauna around the country.
Southern California is another favorite family recreation spot for us. We have relatives around the San Diego area, and my husband has familiarized himself with the surrounding hills for mountain biking trails. The beach is always great fun, as is Seaport Village.
One of the benefits of the internet is how much we can learn about different family activities and possibilities around the country (without having to personally visit each one). Here are some ideas for more family fun activities:
Anytime you're near Pooler, Georgia, this is a comprehensive site with tons of kids' activities for families -- as well as many options for other types of entertainment and travel opportunities. If you know you'll be in the area,
