Letterboxing

I spent the past week partially working and partially spending some much needed time with my children. We went on some lovely excursions, checking out Southern California in a simple yet adventurous manner. Thanks to a co-worker, we discovered Letterboxing. We went on several adventures hunting for hidden boxes and checking out old favorite parks as well as tried and true parks (Like the Huntington in San Marino). We went hiking in hills I've never even noticed. This was charming and great exercise. We didn't always find the boxes, but the hunt was still fun for the kids. We even played frisbee golf at one park. We got use out of those disks we bought on Mt. Bachelor several years ago that we had been storing. It was a great way to entertain the kids on a shoestring budget. We packed picnic lunches and lots of water and sunscreen. All we spent was money on gas.
