Instagram post 2180952994886375364_15501677 If you’re ever looking for a fun way to tour the San Francisco Bay, check out the @sanfranciscobayferry We took the ferry from the Oakland port into the ferry building in San Fancisco, the boat goes right under the bay bridge gets the perttiest views of the city. We walked the board walk a bit and then took the ferry back with all the commuters. Our country kids got to experience some city hustle and bustle and we watched all the city lights come on as the sun set. I love when an ordinary boat ride becomes something magical! . . . #sanfranciscobayferry #sanfrancisco #bayareamoms #bayareakids #bayareafamily #bayareaadventures #bayareaboatride #sanfranciscobay #1000hoursoutside #portofoakland #sfferrybuilding #familyadventure #adventurefamily
Instagram post 2172011901310428349_15501677 The kids have been wanting to go to the zoo, Erik and I usually prefer just being out in nature...but we like our kids so off to the zoo we went. We had the best day. Animals were out and playing, we got to see them work with the lions, we saw the lemurs get fed, we got to see how a film set works and be “quiet on set” (they were filming a zoo photography class), we saw elephants get fed and green monkeys get fed, it was a great day...also, it was a Tuesday so there wasn’t a ton of people. We’re happy to do activities our kids love but it’s always nice when it turns into a day we all love! . . . #oaklandzoo #associationofzoosandaquariums #wildlifeconservation #kidsatthezoo #familyzootrip #bayareamoms #bayareakids #raisethemwild #weneedmorewild #familytime #familyadventure #familyday #familyfun #bayareafamily #bayareafun
Instagram post 2168575855289597838_15501677 Happy November! We kicked off the month and shook off our Halloween hangover with a short but beautiful hike. 🥾 This is Mendoza Ranch, a section of Harvey Bear and Coyote Lake county park, it’s free to park at, has a portapotty, water fountain for you and your dog...and you can bring your dog on the trails! We hiked the Mendoza Trail to a ridge where can see a great view of the South Bay, the trail is moderate for little legs. It’s really dry right now...typical California fall but there are some oak trees that are starting to turn pretty colors! . . . #themeyerlife #southbaytrail #bayareahikes #bayareatrails #southbayarea #bayareamom #bayareakids #harveybear #mendozaranch #coyotelakecountypark #santaclaracountyparks #californiafall #hikingwithkids #weneedmorewild #tinybigadventure #keepthemwild #raisethemwild #wildandfreekids #familyadventure #familyhike #outdoorfamilies #1000hoursoutside

Instagram post 2165575444915921535_15501677 What’s the curviest road you have ever been on? The road going up to this observatory is VERY curvy and very tight but honestly, so worth it! This is the Lick Observatory, it’s perched on the tallest spot in the Diablo Range and its home to two huge telescopes that have both made important discoveries! Make sure to check their website or call to make sure they are open, it would be a bummer to drive that whole road and not get to see inside! They offer tours inside one of the observatories and the other is viewable with a video and of history and a bunch of information on lenses. The view from up here is amazing, on a clear day you can see from San Francisco to Gilroy! And to top it all off, this place is free!

Instagram post 2164740963053293327_15501677 Our annual pumpkin patch trip! We have been going to the same place since our oldest was tiny, so this is much looked forward to tradition. I think the corn pit is everyone’s favorite...or the big slide. It’s a blast...they have pumpkin blasters...like you shoot tiny pumpkins out of air cannons...so it’s a literal blast 😂! . . . #themeyerlife #dellossofamilyfarm #pumpkinpatch #fallfun #familyfun #bayareapumpkinpatch #centralvalleypumpkinpatch #octoberfun #gowithnugget #atlasobscura #familytradition #pumpkinblasters #cornmaze #hayride #trainride #cornpit #familyadventure #familytime #bayareafamily #bayareamoms #bayareakids #worththedrive #getoutside #playoutside
Instagram post 2159873139235327924_15501677 Last week we went kayaking out on the Slough again. This has become our favorite place to kayak. We see something different every time, this time it was tons of pacific sea nettles! I have learned that new places are amazing but coming to a place multiple times gives that place the opportunity to show us all it has to offer and how it changes from season to season and weather and tides. This place has made us so observant, we notice tiny crabs in the water, small shore birds and the color of the water. Actually I wrote a blog post, last year, about this very thought and our go to hiking spot.

Instagram post 2157495807165935817_15501677 I love camping in state parks because you can camp and adventure in the same place! This is the Little Butano Creek Trail, it’s 1.5 miles, pretty flat and goes right through the redwood forest and along a cute little creek. We saw, spiders, mushrooms and so many banana slugs. Plus that afternoon light streaming through the trees was amazing! Do you camp in a campground or on BLM land? I want to start camping out in the wild but I love the convenience of nearby bathrooms! . . . #themeyerlife #castateparks #butanostatepark #butanocreek #benreiscampground #campingwithkids #hikingwithkids #adventurefamily #outdoorfamily #weneedmorewild #tinybigadventure #raisethemwild #runwildmychild #keepthemwild #outdoorkids #familyadventure #familyhike #bayareaadventures #centralcoasting
