Baja Caravan is a Wrap
Now that the driving is over, we look back fondly at the places we visited. From free camping at Bahia de Los Angeles (BOLA) to camping in the middle of town in beautiful San Ignacio, and finally beach camping at Playa Santispac. Our caravan experience offered a little bit for everyone. Walking historic town squares, visiting Missions built in the 1600’s, paddleboarding the bahia, karaoke at the beach bar, or just sitting in peace soaking up the sun. Baja’s laid-back vibe is a stark contrast to the hustle and bustle of the states and just what our souls needed.

Now that we are back in the west, we wanted to share what we learned with all of you.
Best Valentine’s Day Ever!
We haven’t always been the best at celebrating Valentine’s Day throughout our marriage.
Many times, it would register as the 3rd or 4th most important thing happening that day. Kids’ activities, work schedules, and the craziness that comes with life as a family of five all took precedence.
However, in 2022, it was time to change this.
