Entertainment En Route
Passing the Time with Kids on the RoadBy Lisa T. Bergren
• Do NOT pre-board with your young children. Send one adult ahead to settle all the stuff in and leave the other adult to keep them running until closer to take-off time. Don’t wander too far, however! Continue reading

Palm Springs, California
The Desert for FamiliesGuest post by Mona Weir Daly, 2008
Palm Springs was a relaxing and warm getaway for our family of four. We were tired of the cold in Central Oregon and wanted to warm up somewhere exotic. After looking into Hawaii, Mexico and the Caribbean, we decided that we needed somewhere closer home to fit into our budget. So we decided on Palm Springs for 5 days. Continue reading

***CRESTED BUTTE, COLORADO***
Amber is the funny, outdoorsy, ski-lovin’, transplanted Canadian who lives here in Colorado now with her hubby and two young kids.

The playgrounds, music festival, kids’ camp…This definitely has to be on the Bergrens’ own Tour de Colorado for 2010. Continue reading

Great Sand Dunes National Park
Unexpected Oasis of Family Fun!By Lisa T. Bergren (with thanks to Kim Hedstrom)

This is really an awe-inspiring sight–with peaks of sand reaching as high as 750′ right below alpine Sangre de Cristo mountains. They’re the tallest dunes in North America and were formed over the centuries from the geological forces of an ancient, receding lake bed and opposing winds. Continue reading

Taos and Santa Fe
New Mexico with Kids...By Lisa T. Bergren
We met my in-laws and spent the day at the Great Sand Dunes, Colorado (one hour north—fabulous—see our other Sand Dunes report) and en route to Taos, paused in San Luis to walk the Stations of the Cross, another great stop. Not only is San Luis spiritually and culturally meaningful, but it’s also the oldest city in Colorado, and from on top of the hill, you can enjoy a fabulous view of the valley in all directions.
