Another great attraction right by Columbia is Moan Another great attraction right by Columbia is Moaning Caverns.⁣ @moaningcaverns is the largest single cave chamber in California, and the open area inside the chamber is tall enough to hold the Statue of Liberty!⁣ ⁣ When you take a tour of the cave, you first descend stairs to a platform 65 feet underground.⁣ From there, a ten-story spiral staircase built in 1922 using scrap metal from an old WWI battleship leads down to a second platform at the base of the chamber.⁣ It was neat to be able to be up close with some of the cave formations while walking down the stairs!⁣ ⁣ We've visited several different caves around the U.S., and this one is definitely a unique experience!⁣ ⁣ #moaningcaverns #moaningcavern #moaningcavernsadventurepark #californiacaverns #californiacave #californiaattractions #calaverascounty #neverbored #neverboredfamily
Right nearby Columbia, in California's Gold Countr Right nearby Columbia, in California's Gold Country, is another fantastic California State Park - ⁣ @railtown1897statehistoricpark in Jamestown.⁣ ⁣ Taking a guided tour of Railtown and the historic Roundhouse allows you to learn some fascinating railroad history, including the extensive Hollywood history on the site.⁣ Many movies and TV shows have been made here and you can see some of the actual props, as well as the trains that were used in the films.⁣ ⁣ We've been to several train museums, but we all agreed that this one was uniquely interesting and definitely well-worth the time here.⁣ And Sherman Grandma got sentimental about being on the filming site of Petticoat Junction!⁣ ⁣ #railtown1897 #railtown1897statehistoricpark #castatehistoricpark #californiashp #jamestown #jamestowncalifornia #jamestownca #cagoldcountry #californiagoldcountry #californiafamilydestinations #visittuolumnecounty #neverbored #neverboredfamily

We love Memorial Day and the chance to honor our h We love Memorial Day and the chance to honor our heroes!⁣ ⁣ Grandpa served in World War II and when we visited the @wwiimuseum in New Orleans, we gained a much better understanding of his experience. ⁣ ⁣ This museum is incredible!⁣ There’s no better place to learn about America’s part in the war and the amazing things that our soldiers did. ⁣ We can’t wait to go back and take our kids.⁣ ⁣ #worldwariimuseum #wwiimuseum #wwiimuseumneworleans #neworleans #ww2museum #worldwar2museum #neverbored #neverboredfamily
We're so happy that the Yosemite Valley Floor Tour We're so happy that the Yosemite Valley Floor Tours are back!⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ During our recent visit we took the 2-hour tour on the 'Green Dragon' and we HIGHLY recommend this to anyone visiting.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Driving and parking in Yosemite is tough, especially during the summer, so it was really relaxing to have someone else do the driving while our whole family was free to look around, and we never had to worry about finding parking.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ The tour includes all the major sites in Yosemite and there are two stops where you can get off the tram and take some great pictures.⁣⁣ Plus, having a park ranger as a guide allows you to learn lots of interesting things and ask any questions along the way.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ The Valley Floor Tours run daily at several different times.⁣⁣ You do need to buy tickets online in advance at travelyosemite.com.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ #yosemitevalleyfloortour #yosemite #yosemitevalley #yosemitenationalpark #travelyosemite #yosemitetour #yosemitewithkids #neverbored #neverboredfamily
We got to go 'glamping' at AutoCamp Yosemite! ⁣ We got to go 'glamping' at AutoCamp Yosemite! ⁣ @autocamp made it so easy to visit the park with all the fun of camping but not much to pack and no roughing it!⁣ ⁣ If you want to take your family to Yosemite but can’t get a campground reservation or don’t want to pay the crazy high prices for in-park lodging, this is a GREAT option!⁣ ⁣ Click the link in our profile to go to our website and read all about it in our Inside Look blog.⁣ ⁣ #autocamp #autocampyosemite #yosemite #yosemitelodging #yosemitenationalpark #yosemitewithkids #yosemitecamping #airstream #glamping #neverbored #neverboredfamily
While flying home from Orlando to California, we While flying home from Orlando to California, we were sure glad that we have the Capital One Venture X credit card!⁣⁣ One of the benefits of the Venture X is Priority Pass membership which gives you airport lounge access or free food from an airport restaurant, depending on location.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ At the Orlando Airport, we were able to hang out in The Club while waiting for our flight and eat from the buffet.⁣⁣ During our layover in Denver, we were able to get free meals from SweetWater Mountain Taphouse.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I opened the Venture X and put my spouse on as an authorized user, so we both have our own Priority Pass memberships with privileges for 2 guests, which means that we were able to get lounge access and free food for our whole family of 6! ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ #venturex #mco #orlandoairport #theclubmco #denverairport #sweetwatermountaintaphouse #prioritypass #airportlounge #flyingwithkids #familytravel #neverbored #neverboredfamily
Our cruise docked at Port Canaveral in Florida, so Our cruise docked at Port Canaveral in Florida, so we ended our trip with a day at @kennedyspacecenter. ⁣ Wow! There is so much to see and learn about here!⁣ ⁣ Besides all of the amazing exhibits, we got to see the Artemis rocket out on the launch pad and another rocket being transported right next to our bus.⁣ ⁣ It was so much to learn and take in, so the kids really appreciated the fun play areas mixed in.⁣ ⁣ We were at the Space Center from open to close and got to see all of the main exhibits but definitely not everything.⁣ ⁣ #kennedyspacecenter #kennedyspacecentervisitorcomplex #nasa #capecanaveral #florida #spacecoast #portcanaveral #floridafamilydestinations #floridawithkids #neverbored #neverboredfamily
Our final stop on our 7-day @royalcaribbean cruise Our final stop on our 7-day @royalcaribbean cruise on Harmony of the Seas was Perfect Day at Coco Cay - Royal Caribbean’s own private island - and it truly was a perfect day!⁣ ⁣ We spent most of our time at the beach where Grandma and Grandpa were able to introduce the kids to snorkeling because Coco Cay has a snorkeling cove with a lifeguard that’s so easy and safe for beginners. ⁣ It was also nice to have our pick of plenty of lounge chairs and umbrellas.⁣ ⁣ After beach time, the kids had a blast in the two kids’ water play areas. ⁣ These areas are free, although Coco Cay also has a large waterpark which requires an admission fee, but we opted not to do it this time since our kids weren't quite old enough for the thrill slides.⁣ ⁣ Just like on the ship, there’s PLENTY of food on Coco Cay and it's all included, unless you choose to eat at one of the specialty restaurants. ⁣ ⁣ We didn’t have time to hang out at the giant pool, but we’re already planning to go back, so next time!⁣ ⁣ We chose this cruise because of Perfect Day and it was definitely the highlight for all of us.⁣ If you have any questions about Perfect Day at Coco Cay, please ask us!⁣ ⁣ #perfectdayatcococay #cococay #royalcaribbean #harmonyoftheseas #royalcaribbeankids #cruisingwithkids #familycruise #bahamas #familytravel #bringthekids #springbreakwithkids #neverbored #neverboredfamily
Our second port on our 7-day Royal Caribbean Cruis Our second port on our 7-day Royal Caribbean Cruise on Harmony of the Seas was St. Thomas.⁣ Our little son is a major pirate lover, so he was living out his dreams by being where real pirates had lived!⁣ ⁣ First, we went to Drake’s seat which is the most beautiful overlook on the island and where Sir Francis Drake would plan his plunderings. ⁣ ⁣ Then, we went to the @piratestreasuremuseumusvi which was well done and enjoyable for all ages.⁣ We found it to be very informative and interactive, and just everything our little pirate lover could want. ⁣ ⁣ We ended by spending a few hours on gorgeous Magen’s Bay Beach.⁣ This was a great excursion!⁣ ⁣ #stthomas #stthomasvirginislands #stthomasusvi #drakesseat #magensbay #magensbaybeach #piratestreasuremuseum #piratetrip #harmonyoftheseas #cruiseport #royalcaribbean #cruisingwithkids #familycruise #neverbored #neverboredfamily
