Van Life Adventures: Exploring San Diego

August 19, 2020 By Amanda Leave a Comment

exploring San DiegoI chase weather. I go where it’s cold, raining, snowing…anything but sun. Living in the desert for 22 years has taken it’s toll on me and I’m over it. Therefore, I like to travel where the weather is not going to fry my soul if I walk outdoors.

But anyways, that’s what brought Wynston and I to San Diego for a van life trip – weather in the 70s. The San Diego area is about a 5.5 hour drive from our house, which is super close for us! When you’re used to driving 12+ hours to visit a beautiful spot, only having to travel less than 6 is awfully appealing.

I decided to book a stay at the San Diego Metro KOA. If you aren’t familiar with KOAs (I definitely wasn’t), they are family-oriented campgrounds with lots of activities and amenities.

I’m attracted to KOAs because they give you the ability to camp with the amenities of a hotel such as showers, bathrooms, electric hookups, activities for the family and often a pool and cafe. At most KOA campgrounds, you can camp in a cabin, tent or RV. Some even have tiny homes and yurts. Whatever your style is, the KOA probably offers it.

I hadn’t been to San Diego since I was a teenager, so I was especially excited to visit. I wasn’t really sure what to expect of a campground in the middle of an ocean “city,” but I gave it a whirl, and it was worth it.

Our Day at the Dinosaur Exhibit

August 1, 2019 By Amanda 4 Comments

dinosaur exhibitI am SO behind on my blog posts. Don’t judge me – travel tends to slow me down! I absolutely love traveling with my son, but it sure is hard to keep up with posting. Anyways, you’re not here for excuses. You’re here for PHOTOS!

Recently we were invited by my good friend Kama of Chi Pets to visit a dinosaur exhibit in Scottsdale, AZ – Pangaea Land of the Dinosaurs. We couldn’t pass up the incredible experience, so we met with 20+ people AND dogs to come face to face with dinos. The excursion was meant to be a socialization and training outing, and it was SO much fun!

How to Adapt to Changes in Your Dog-Friendly Travel Plans

June 2, 2019 By Amanda Leave a Comment

how to adapt to changes in your dog-friendly travel plansWynston and I travel a lot, and it’s rare that we take a completely flawless trip. Granted, I’ve learned how to adapt to any sort of change in our travel plans, so I’ve become a pro at improvising. However, it can be stressful when something doesn’t go as planned. Whether your flight gets cancelled, it’s raining at a destination where you planned to partake in outdoor activities, or your dog has a medical emergency, I have tips (all from experience) on how to handle the situation.

March 17, 2019 By Amanda 6 Comments

Lake Havasu CityLake Havasu City is the first place I’ve ever visited with Wynston where I was overwhelmed by the possibilities. I knew the city was a popular destination for water sports and vacation, but it’s really so much more. Lake Havasu City is a fun place for people of all ages and interests. Whether you want to visit a dog-friendly bar, take a boat excursion or do some seaside shopping, the area has something for you. Our trip to Lake Havasu did not disappoint, and we ended up doing much more than anticipated. In this post not only do I share our experiences, but I also share reviews from all the places we visited. I also have a couple of fun side stories to share. I hope you enjoy our recap!
