I am a big fan of the folks over at Our Muddy Boots, and loved this post with ideas for keeping kids entertained on plane trips. If you enjoy it, too, be sure to follow them on their blog and Facebook!

The San Diego Scenic Drive is a 59-mile trek that takes you in and around and through San Diego. There is a great turn-by-turn plan available, and signs to keep you on track if you get turned around.
We followed the instructions on a smart phone, but appreciated having the signs as reassurance if it ever got confusing! You could also print a copy so you have it in hand.

It took us seven hours to make the loop, but the beauty of this route is that you are free to stop and start whenever you like! Do a few miles, do the whole trek – it’s up to you. We stopped often early in the day to check things out, and when the little one fell asleep after lunch, we did a lot more driving and viewing through a car window.

One thing I really loved about this drive was that I felt as though I saw so many different neighborhoods of the city. What a great way to get to know a community before deciding which part to settle in, or to explore a place you’ve lived your entire life, but never really seen.
