Oh, and while I’m here…I just put up a post about geocaching at my blog (http://www.midwestguest.com/2008/10/sleuthing-with-nancy-drew.html).
It’s a family-friendly hobby and a great way to explore places where you travel.

I live in San Francisco and don’t have kids. However, I am always remarking that it is a fabulous place to be if you have children. Maybe not to live, but, there are so many cool things to do while visiting….both outside and in.

Hey Neighbor! I’m a Minnesotan, too! And I have a website about traveling with kids. My most popular post is the carry-on packing list. We travel a ton, mostly by plane, so this article has some lessons learned!!
