Hidden passageways and whimsical wonders at Madcap

Hidden passageways and whimsical wonders at Madcap Motel. 🚪✨

We entered this 1946 motel and went through a magical portal to see odd happenings at @inthemadcapmotel.

We were delighted with this attraction. We entered a story that was complete with live characters. It is not scary and perfect for kids of all ages ! In fact, we highly recommend bringing the whole family. Everyone loved it! You will have a blast exploring the secret rooms and discovering the surprises behind every door. It’s interactive and creative and has a touch of humor. You’ll truly feel that you escaped reality for an hour. We ended up staying two hours there.

It’s located in the art district at Downtown LA and walking distance from @urthcaffe, where we had dinner afterwards.

I couldn’t recommend this event more. Don’t forget to see our last reel at this spot.

Our last staycation this summer.☀️🛶
It was our first time at this hotel and what a nice family set up! Water sports right at the hotel, lots of pools and s’mores at night. Not to mention basketball, tennis courts and great breakfast too. I love it when everything’s in one place. What’s your last summer trip this year?

Look out! Boss Baby is back! 🍼🍼

We entered “Boss Baby Land” for an afternoon celebrating the home entertainment release of The Boss Baby: Family Business which arrives on digital TODAY and on Bku-ray/DVD/4K Ultra HD on September 14th.

Did you know that this home entertainment release from @uniallaccess of will include an all -new short “ Precious Templeton: A Pony Tale”? We had a great time celebrating with pony rides, crafts/activities, treats, petting zoo and had a special class with @dreamworks Lead Animator Phillipe Le Brun learning how to draw Precious Templeton!

Have you seen Boss Baby 2 yet?

It’s mommy and me day! We squeezed in some special zoo train time before school starts @thesantaanazoo

My little one is at the stage of loving transportation rides. We had a little date time without the older siblings to enjoy this cute zoo.

Did you know that some of the props from the old A Bug’s Land Heimlich’s Chew Chew Train ride ,previously at Disney California Adventure, is now here on this ride? Look for the “Animal Crackers”…look familiar?
We also enjoy riding the carrousel and the ferris wheel here. Thank you @thesantaanazoo for hosting this fun morning out.

Do you have date time with your kids individually?

Do you enjoy walking through historical sites?

We recently visited the birthplace of Orange County at San Juan Capistrano Historical Downtown with our cousins and grandma. What a cute place to walk around. So much history here too!

Featured here are @missionsanjuancapistrano, butterfly garden at Montana’s Adobe Museum, and Vertigo Street (there’s ice cream here). A great place for lunch or dinner is @trevorsatthetracks . There’s so much to see here, we’ll be back to explore more!

I can’t believe that it’s almost August and that school is starting soon. This year’s back to school shopping is extra special because we shopped at @theshopsatrossmoor!

What do you look for when you shop? For me, it’s is all about convenience and having the right stores. I like to do all my shopping in one shopping center and not drive around. I really liked how @theshopsatrossmoor had all my go to stores like @kohls, @marshalls and @staples in one place and so many other ones too. I tried out a new store as well @shara_stores and loved it. It’s so cute!

When you’re hungry, @theshopsatrossmoor also had one of my favorite restaurants @cpk, the kids favorite @innout ,and our favorite treat place @yogurtlandinc .

We were pleasantly surprised at how perfect this shopping center is. It’s also not overwhelmingly large. It has all the good stores and it’s a beautiful place to shop. This would be a great place to check out, visit our last reel and highlights too.✨

What are your favorite stores to shop at?

The making of a confident guitar player🎶✨ W

The making of a confident guitar player🎶✨

We’re a few weeks into our group guitar lessons @exquisitemusicschool and what a difference! The kids are more confident in their guitar skills and are equipped to work out their own areas of improvement. We especially noticed a change in our first grader. She’s taking ownership over these lessons and keeping up with her older siblings.

I love how they customize to each child’s skills and there’s even different sized guitars to fit each kid! The instructor leads the class well and is sensitive to the different learning style and levels of each child which has made a huge difference.

I play guitar myself and and while I’m watching them I’m also picking up new skills. It’s great that they are able to have a good foundation as they begin this journey. This is something that I didn’t have when I started.

We highly recommend this studio @exquisitemusicschool . They are currently having back to school sign ups. (Swipe)

We just saw an impressive sand sculpture featuring

We just saw an impressive sand sculpture featuring “Landmarks of the World” and completed a fun scavenger hunt with prizes of ice cream & kids meal!

Currently at @citadel_outlets, 13 landmarks from around the world are represented in this massive sand sculpture. They have brought the world to Los Angeles— no passports required!

What’s great is that if you visit customer service, you can pick up a map where kids can play a scavenger hunt game and find #landmarksoftheworld posters in front of different stores and mark the locations. When you return your completed map, you will receive a free scoop of ice cream from @prontocafecitadel and a free @rubysdinercitadel kids meal!

Don’t forget to also pick up a free coloring book to bring home as it features the Landmarks of the World.

We throughly enjoyed our experience at @citadel_outlets. The sand sculpture will be there through September 6, 2021. You don’t want to miss it!

Our favorite library is open again! Check out the aquarium, read in the lighthouse and say hi to Stan, the t-rex fossil. The model space shuttle was pretty cool too. It felt new to see everything again. We didn’t have time to visit the sculpture garden outside. We’ll be back!
