Choose Your Own Adventure 2024

With our quests, I have discovered that it is harder to try new things with my older kids! So this summer we are repeating last summer's quest: Choose Your Own Adventure. We have a few more beaches I would like to try as well as day trips, museums and hikes we didn't get to on our previous summers. We have a busy summer with things unrelated to my blog, but I will try to sneak in a few places on the list. I am aiming to share a new thing every week, a list that might be useful and a place we love. Here are some of the ideas for the new things:
