Fun day with our grandkids

We all had a great day. Thankfully the weather held its own so we could do the outdoor activities. We were with three boys (10, 9 and 5) and they all enjoyed the day. Great hiking area. We only put money in the parking meter for an hour and definitely could have been there for at least 2 hours.

Great trip for kids!

We had a really amazing time on this trip. It was planned beautifully, and we brought two very young kids along who adored it all. If you have kids it is perfect. Lots of breaks from the car, lots ot explore, lots of chances to walk and run around. We especially loved Triple C Farm.

The one part we did not enjoy was the first stop of the day. We went intending to get breakfast and it was disorganized, and the staff ignored smaller tables as a table of 20 came in. We left without buying anything or getting food as we had more to do that day. But, I don't blame GWT - I think they were having an off day!

Fun Wednesday

This was my first Guess Where trip. Overall, it was a good experience. I loved the RBG stop and Miranda Farms, but I'm a bit iffy on the last stop. While I think intentions are good here, I'm not sure there's enough space for the the number of animals on the farm. It is educational, and we still had a good time but I'm not sure I would go back.
I also think the pdf needs to be updated, as the costs for the last stop are more now than listed. I also can't figured out why this trip says you can't go on Wednesdays? Everything was open when we went and it was a Wednesday!
I would gladly try another guess where trip.
