Perfect family adventures

READERS WRITE“Our family never really plans anything, therefore a perfect adventure for us would be packing a nice lunch and driving off to wherever and making the best out of anything!”

Ara Sotelo-Cambray

“Just going to the park is an adventure. My daughter rides her bike while her daddy and I run behind her. On the way, we enjoy the scenery while creating our own story. She rides on her flying bike while we see butterflies that are really fairies, trees that are really soldiers and things like that. Her imagination is incredible and makes it easy to make an adventure out of many simple things in life!”

Lilian Rendon

“Our family’s perfect adventure is camping out in our backyard, making s’mores and relaxing by the campfire.”

Jose Carrillo

“Our perfect adventure is getting in the car and deciding when we hit the highway which way to go. We always end up somewhere new and visit great places!”

Kathy Woolve

“Our family’s perfect Chicago adventure is to take our dogs, Mikey and Gia, to Mondog Beach. The kids enjoy watching the dogs run all over the beach and swim in the water.”
