During our trip to San Diego last November, we visited the USS Midway Museum located in Downtown at Navy Pier. The USS Midway was one of America’s longest serving aircraft carriers, in service for 47 years from 1945 to 1992, and is now a maritime museum dedicated to carriers and naval aviation, offering a fascinating…
During our trip to San Diego in November, one of our favorite days out was at The New Children’s Museum, an interactive museum in Downtown offering immersive art activities and interactive art installations. There are so many great opportunities for fun, creativity and art that Little T, at 3 years old, easily spent over four…
In early November, Little T and I spent over a week in my hometown, sunny San Diego, California. San Diego is one of the most family friendly cities in the States and has so much to offer, with 70 miles of coastline, mild weather year round, hiking trails and scenic parks and loads of museums and…

San Diego has always been my family’s U.S. “home base” since we moved away from my hometown to Saudi Arabia when I was young. We returned at least once a year, often for a few weeks at a time, and eventually I moved back to San Diego for university. Years later, I’m back in San…
Earlier this week I came across the #Take12Trips Challenge, a challenge to take a trip once a month for a year – it could be a holiday abroad, a weekend break, a day out or a visit to a museum or other local attraction. I love the idea of taking on this challenge to travel more in 2016,…
