One of the things I like best about family travel is seeing the world through my children’s eyes rather than my over exposed ones. So whose better review than the kids’?? These sisters from Conway MA both had a blast last winter in Baja. These reviews are strictly unedited and in their entirety — Really, some of the best thoughts come from our children….

Age 9: You just have to go to Baja Mexico! The climate is hot and dry, so bring sunblock. The guides are good story tellers, know lots of stuff, are funny, and may even wear an orange wig. You’ll love the amazing waterfall hike with steep granite walls. through an oasis and mud up to your knees. If you like eating you just might like stuffed chiles, refried beans and tortillas. Ever cooked a pepper over a flame? If you feel hot just take a dunk with a seal lion pup. You maybe can touch him with your hand or he may nibble your flipper. Maybe the sound of the grey whale blowing is your style of music. If you’re an outside kind of person, you’ll love Baja and all the interesting sites you’ll see.

Age 7: On the trip to Baja Mexico you’ll have a great time… horseback riding on the beach listening to crashing waves. Hiking in the mud near a fault line but beware of the Jumping Chaya! Making pottery on a ranch with pigs running around. Playing beach soccer in deep sand with bare feet. Joking with a guide who once was a clown. Relaxing on the porch in a hammock. Swimming in a wetsuit to play with wild sea lions. Whale watching to look right into the animal’s eye. And searching in the desert for million year old shark teeth. So go to Baja and have fun. You might even see Baja snow.
