Literally, you can spin in a circle and see mountians everywhere you go. Its fun to take a walk where you dont have to hold on to your childrens hand and let them chase lizards, find ants, and you can just enjoy the time not having to rush here and there, clean this and that. Its all good. Here in CA, In China Lake area we are surrounded by mountians. Literally, you can spin in a circle and see mountians everywhere you go.

Last year we went to a fantastic tulip festival, an historic 'railroad days' event, an antique car show, and a home show expo. We bring our own treats, so the only cost is gas -- or bus fare, when we take public transportation. My husband and I love to explore local festivals, most which are free!

So we tried out Letterboxing last weekend. You get a set of clues from their free website and go on kind of a treasure hunt to find a box with a special rubber stamp in it. In the process we discovered two beautiful parks in our area and learned a little history as well. Our kids thought it was lots of fun to hunt for buried treasure as well. Letterboxes are hidden all over the country - so you can pretty much find one wherever you are.
