Welcome to the Family Side of AdventureRx!

We’re a family of four — two parents with busy jobs in emergency services and healthcare, and two energetic little ones (now 6 and 4) who have already taught us that the real adventure isn’t always the destination... it’s everything in between.

Our travel journey really kicked off with one of the most iconic family spots — Disneyland. Our first trip didn’t go quite as planned (hello, sick kids and rough nights), but something special happened while we were there: Magic Keys — Disneyland’s annual passes — became available again. We jumped at the chance, knowing deep down that we’d be back. And we were. Again and again.

What started as a few quick trips to the parks turned into a passion for family travel — learning how to navigate airports with strollers, packing just enough snacks to survive long drives, and discovering how to make meaningful memories without burning out.

We're based in Northern California, so you’ll find a lot of content focused on this region — from weekend escapes and national parks to road trip tips and family-friendly stops in our own backyard. Whether it’s coastal adventures, Sierra foothill hikes, or hopping in the car for another Disneyland run, we love making the most of where we live.

Here on the family side of AdventureRx, we share:

• Practical, real-world travel tips for families with young kids

• Honest stories (yes, including the meltdowns)

• Kid-friendly itineraries and destination guides

• Encouragement for other families who want to explore, connect, and grow together on the road

We believe travel with kids isn’t about perfection — it’s about presence, patience, and a whole lot of snacks.

Thanks for being here. Let’s make some memories.
